In Space Opera, the survival of the human species depends on the performance of one dried-up band in an intergalactic music competition. The novel rambles on with the back story of the many different types of sentient beings in the world as well as mishaps in previous music competition. The earth musicians finally come on stage and lose their voice. Then through some miraculous experience they manage to sign and save the earth. In the process, many popular music artists are name dropped. Parts of the book are quite funny, though the book itself is rather forgettable.
