NOMINATED FOR THE PHILIP K. DICK AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL * Dazzling space battles, intergalactic politics, and rogue AI collide in Velocity Weapon, the first book in this epic space opera trilogy by award-winning author Megan O'Keefe.
Sanda and Biran Greeve were siblings destined for greatness. A high-flying sergeant, Sanda has the skills to take down any enemy combatant. Biran is a savvy politician who aims to use his new political position to prevent conflict from escalating to total destruction.
However, on a routine maneuver, Sanda loses consciousness when her gunship is blown out of the sky. Instead of finding herself in friendly hands, she awakens 230 years later on a deserted enemy warship controlled by an AI who calls himself Bero. The war is lost. The star system is dead. Ada Prime and its rival Icarion have wiped each other from the universe.
Now, separated by time and space, Sanda and Biran must fight to put things right.

Reviews

  • A confusing mess of plots

    By Loopless
    The writing is frankly awful. The world building makes no sense at all, with unrelated plot lines that are never explained. The main characters are unlikeable and almost written at a young teen level. After struggling to finish the first book I have no interest in the second in the series.
  • Good story, oddly anachronistic tech

    Almost feels like a story that would have been written twenty years ago considering the laughable anachronisms in some of the computer and interface tech. That said, characters are good and the unfolding mystery box was suitably compelling. A good read, if light, and I’ll probably read the next one.
  • Very little action, LOTS of character build

    Dazzling space battles? Sorry, no. A touch of AI philosophy, a side story of gritty thieves that ultimately has nothing to do with the main plot, an interesting world build with some well fleshed out characters, but, unfortunately, no real climax. I tried, I really did! Not enough here to justify purchasing the second installment.

    What the heck is going on? The characters are tiresome and uninteresting. The plot is, well I’m half way through the book and still have no idea what this story is about or where it’s going. And conflict, there is none. Boring story that never picked up and threatened to get any better.
