FRIDAY FACTOID
This is a meme that I
started. Every Friday I’ll put a
factoid based on a book I’m reading. The book can be fiction or non-fiction If
you want to participate, just leave a comment and your website to share.
I’m reading The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack
by Mark Hodder. This books is known as a space opera.
According to Wikipedia:
Space opera is a subgenre of science fiction that
emphasizes romantic,
often melodramatic adventure,
set mainly or entirely in outer space,
generally involving conflict between opponents possessing advanced technologies
and abilities. The term has no relation to music and it is analogous to "soap opera" (see
below). Perhaps the most significant trait of space opera is that settings,
characters, battles, powers, and themes tend to be very large-scale.
Sometimes the term space opera is used pejoratively to denote bad
quality science
fiction, but its meaning can differ, often describing a particular
science fiction genre without any value judgement.
Happy Reading!
