Shortlisted for the Philip K. Dick Arard.

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.

Critic reviews

"Furious action sequences, funny dialogue, and a plot that will keep you guessing every step of the way." (K. B. Wagers)

"A spectacular epic of survival, full of triumph and gut-wrenching loss." (Alex White)

"Velocity Weapon is fast-paced, twisty, edge-of-your-seat fun. Space opera fans are in for a massive treat!" (Marina J. Lostetter)

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.

easy sci fi listen

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.

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

The book itself promises a good story, but the very very thick English accent is just too much.

Accents are fine for characters, but when the normal narration is heavily accented the book becomes very hard to listen to. I will return to this book if it is re-released with a different narrator.

Absolutely terrible narration

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.

lackluster space opera
