    “Space opera” has been a term in science fiction since at least the 1940s. Flash Gordon, John Carter, and Buck Rogers all fought Emperors.

      I’m so cheesed off that the John Carter didn’t perform well. It was pretty good and they’re really interesting/fun books.

        I think I made it through one Burroughs book [ a WW2 era Tarzan]

        If you want a great heroic fantasy, try Robert Heinlein’s “Glory Road.” He gives you a great adventure, and casually kicks all the tropes in the knee.
