help me find a new series

If you like military SF with female captain, try the Jessica Keller Chronicles. First one is
Auberon, author Blaze Ward.
If you are open to other types, I always recommend the Liaden Universe which has several good entry points. Try starting with Agent of Change which is free as ebook, or The Agent Gambit which is an omnibus that includes Agent of Change. Authors are Sharon Lee and Steve Miller.

If you are ope..."
Thanks Teresa i'll give it a go :)


Interestingly, the cover is an accurate portrayal of the main character when she adopts a disguise. Not too many artists go to the trouble of doing that.


Tx for the suggestion trike is it a space opera or hard sci-fi?

Tx for the suggestion mike my mistake though i am looking for female protagonist in space opera
Mageworlds series is Space Opera, not hard SF. There is psi/magic involved too, similar to the way Jedis use the Force.
And many of the Liaden Universe books have a female protagonist or co-protagonist. In Agent of Change there are two main point of view characters and one is female.

Space Fantasy in the vein of Star Wars, Mass Effect, etc.

How about the Kris Longknife series, beginning with Mutineer? I haven't read them, but they're on my list.
I also recommend the Silver Ships series, beginning with The Silver Ships. The primary protagonist is a man, but there are several strong female characters, and some great AIs. It's a fairly new, independently published, series, but there already 10 books out.

Old fashioned space opera that reads like a little bit of Star Trek, a little bit of Battlestar Galactica, a dash of Starship Troopers, and a big chunk of I, Claudius all rolled up into one.
