***SHORTLISTED FOR THE PHILIP K. DICK AWARD***

The last thing Sanda remembers is her gunship exploding.

She expected to be recovered by salvage-medics and to awaken in friendly hands, patched-up and ready to rejoin the fight. Instead she wakes up 230 years later, on a deserted enemy starship called The Light of Berossus - or, as he prefers to call himself, 'Bero'.

Bero tells Sanda the war is lost. That the entire star system is dead.

But is that the full story? After all, in the vastness of space, anything is possible . . .

Dazzling space battles, deadly galactic politics and rogue AI collide in Velocity Weapon, an epic space opera from award-winning author Megan E. O'Keefe.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A brilliantly plotted yarn of survival and far-future political intrigue

A complicated, thoughtful tale that skillfully interweaves intrigue, action, and strong characterization

Full of twists, feints, and deception, O'Keefe's latest presents a visionary world rife with
political intrigue and space adventure

A well-written tale of space adventure, underhanded political dealings and AI rights all wrapped up in a fast-paced plot and a well-thought-out world. A must-read for fans of James S. A. Corey and Alastair Reynolds

Meticulously plotted, edge-of-your-seat space opera with a soul; a highly promising science-fiction debut

O'Keefe keeps the pace pumping, timing the big twists perfectly

An entertaining SF thriller

A mix of space opera action and interplanetary political shenanigans, Velocity Weapon is a good match for readers of John Scalzi

A great premise, compelling plot, and engaging cast of characters . . . from an author worth keeping an eye on

The twists come fast and furious . . . This one shouldn't be overlooked

Rather good one

Good pacing, interesting plot and setting. Well-writren characters. Grippy the repair bot for president!

easy sci fi listen

narrator did a good job.

story line is engaging but not technical which makes the book a nice easy listen if you just need a bit of down time.

Not a good title if you're on a good run of books

I might be picky after being amazed by the last couple of books. This one just isnt playing in the same league.

Interpersonal relations seem about as shallow and forced as the plot devices that just doesnt cause excitement..

Narrator is about par for the course.

lackluster space opera

it's okay, but I found my mind wandering a lot during this one, not really payjng attention. Nothing really going on that you can't guess, or don't want to miss. It's pretty vague world building. The focus is more on the characters, but I wasn't really invested, there's no real development. The author tries to end the book on a cliffhanger, but it's too little, too late. that part of the mystery should have been introduced and developed much earlier. Now it all feels a bit hollow.

Great first book

This book is great but the series realy takes a nosedive by book3.
do yorlurself a favor and read this and maybe the second book.
Conclusion is a mess
