Book cover of The Worst Ship in the Fleet

Nathan Lowell Author Of Quarter Share

From my list on space opera that’s not military science fiction.

Why am I passionate about this?

I’ve always thought that the Venn diagram of Space Opera and Military Science Fiction should not be a circle. I thought there should be stories about people living in interstellar civilizations that didn’t involve massive wars across unimaginable distances, resulting in untold misery and suffering. So, I wrote some, starting with Quarter ShareEach of these books shows mostly normal people trying to get by in a galaxy far, far away.

Nathan's book list on space opera that’s not military science fiction

Nathan Lowell Why Nathan loves this book

Skylar Ramirez kicks off this twisty series by introducing the alcoholic Captain Brad Mendoza and his troubled executive officer. Along the way, a crooked path leads the reader deeper into a well-developed universe of money, politics, and betrayal.

Every character plays a role, but some play more than one. While these are technically military people, their mission isn’t supposed to involve flying missiles and drawn-out battles. Mostly, it’s about a bunch of troubled people finding their way back from the brink.

This one has more military than the first three, but it's still a great read.
