Can anyone recommend me some great epic space opera novels? I read Dune, and I'm also aware of Ender's Game and Hyperion Cantos. Something epic, with big scale and fates of galaxy and humanity and shit.

I heard that Orson Scott Card only wrote dialogue for this game. Actual story was written by another guy.

Book of the new sun and Foundation. But foundation is kind of shit (asimov's short stories like the last question are much better) and book of the new sun is very unconventional compared to other sci-fi

I thought it was a post apocalyptic sci fi/fantasy hybrid?
