Velocity Weapon: The Protectorate by
Megan O’Keefe is the first book in the series and is a very complicated science
fiction read that goes beyond the skimpy plot blurb on the back of the book.
Sanda wakes up from cryosleep aboard an enemy ship, The
Light Of Berossus, 230 years after her gunship exploded with her in it. She
wakes up alone and less than she was as she is missing one of her legs. She is
alone on the enemy ship except for an AI that controls everything onboard. The
AI prefers the nickname Bero and explains that the war destroyed her home world
and the enemy’s home world. They are both stranded far from any other life.
Simply put, if they don’t help each other, they both will die.
This action-packed thriller with multiple main characters
(most of which are not included in the book blurb on the back) is an
interesting tale featuring characters with shifting agendas and plenty of
politics and drama. This read is hard to explain since the book blurb does not
go into most of the actual plot. Beyond that, it is so complicated to try and
to explain more would reveal spoilers.
My only problem with this read is that the ending is
very abrupt. The read does not end on a natural endpoint. Instead, the book just
stops. This was a bit of a surprise as the read comes from a major publisher
who is not known to do this sort of thing.
I highly recommend Velocity Weapon: The
Protectorate by Megan O’Keefe. I am currently on hold for the sequel, Chaos
Vector.
My reading copy came from the Vickery Park Branch of
the Dallas Public Library System.
