"An exceedingly fine set of stories written specifically for this collection by some of the best sf authors writing today.'
— Library Journal (starred review)
Following the success of their Locus Award-winning anthology The New Space Opera, editors Gardner Dozois and Jonathan Strahan now up the ante with The New Space Opera 2 , new stories from some of the biggest names in science fiction's biggest genre. With contributions from  Cory Doctorow, Elizabeth Moon, Garth Nix, John Scalzi, Bruce Sterling, Tad Williams, and a host of other science fiction luminaries, The New Space Opera 2 is yet another "reminder of why science fiction captured the hearts and minds of generations of generations of readers" (Orson Scott Card).
