What's the space opera equivalent of Game of Thrones?

>>	dsadawrware !Tu8PzGvI6. Sat Aug 17 12:54:25 2013 No.4037177 RR Martin actually wrote sci-fi, if you bothered to look up his work OTHER than what you saw on HBO. I prefer his sci-fi stuff, Dying of the Light particularly.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 17 13:03:25 2013 No.4037193 >>4037192 They aren't GOT in space... are they?

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 17 14:49:30 2013 No.4037341 Martin drew inspiration from Stephen R Donaldson's Gap cycle when writing aGoT. I haven't read it myself but it is supposed to be a space opera.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 17 17:54:30 2013 No.4037698 >>4037611 I know, right?! Do you also think the red shirt he is wearing doesn't suit his skin tone?
