Is there just -nothing- new out there in the space-opera genre? Where are the huge, clashing fleets that I used to dream about as a kid? The adventurers, braving the unknown? Where are the grand heroes, rising above everyone else and trying to make a difference- be it win a war, or stop a war, or stop a disaster, or fight against an invasion, or such? Where's the romance that comes with all this, naturally? I can't -find- any of it.
This will fit your needs.
Huge clashing fleets-Check.
Adventurers-Check.
Grand hero, rising above everyone else and trying to make a difference-Check.
Science-Check
