In the tradition of classic Space Opera and old pulp science fiction, TALES FROM THE BIG BLACK is a shared world anthology that will try to capture the old excitement and wonder of interstellar high adventure on far-flung worlds. Robots, spaceships, ray guns, and all the good ‘fun’ of space opera can be put to use.

Try to think about the way science fiction was before STAR TREK and STAR WARS. Think of Heinlein’s juveniles and of E.E. “Doc” Smith’s adventures. Think of somewhere in between the hard science of Larry Niven and the rollicking adventure of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Think somewhere north of David Weber’s Military SF and just south of outright fantasy and you’ll see that there’s a lot of room for everyone.
