Ocean of Stars

by John Dodd

Alone in the universe after the destruction of Mars, Catarina Solovias joins the  Starlight Eagle , under the banner of Charles Godstorm, a wealthy merchant who disguises his true nature as a murderer and thief. They encounter a ship from another time that rips them out of their own timeline and into the far future, where they are captured by the mysterious Morgan.
Godstorm trades Catarina's life for his, leaving her to find her way anew in a universe she has no knowledge of.
An epic tale of hope and loss, stars and ships, set upon a backdrop of the tyranny of time and the dreams of a people yearning to be free, in a universe like no other, the Ocean of Stars.

Pirates in space. Pirates in space on a freaking galleon. Pirates in space on a freaking galleon and fighting with swords. Pirates in space on a freaking galleon and fighting with swords, but also time travel and plausible technology.

All of that and almost every single character is a woman.

This was an incredibly fun read. Highly recommend.
