I’m looking for some good space opera. I read a lot on royal road and KU. I love space opera, but I’m sick of military and AI tropes. Any good suggestions? The more ship to ship battles the better. I understand that may be counter-intuitive, but I’ve read several privateer/freighter/scrapper books that were amazing. Looking for more of the same.
Thanks!
A lot of stories by Jack Vance (The Demon Princes saga, the Giant Planet, the Tschai Cycle, …) are space opera but nothing about spaceship and battles in the stories
