À propos de cet audio
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.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"O'Keefe delivers a complicated, thoughtful tale that skillfully interweaves intrigue, action, and strong characterization. Themes of found family, emotional connection, and identity run throughout, backed up by strong worldbuilding and a tense narrative. This series opener leaves multiple plot threads open for further development, and readers will look forward to the next installments."—Publishers Weekly
"Meticulously plotted, edge-of-your-seat space opera with a soul; a highly promising science-fiction debut."—Kirkus
"Outstanding space opera where the politics and world building of The Expanse series meets the forward-thinking AI elements of Ancillary Justice."—Michael Mammay, author of Planetside
"Velocity Weapon is a spectacular epic of survival, full of triumph and gut-wrenching loss."—Alex White, author of The Salvagers Series
"Full of twists, feints, and deception, O'Keefe's latest presents a visionary world rife with political intrigue and space adventure."—Booklist (starred review)
"A well-crafted interplanetary adventure full of twists and turns, compelling characters, and irresistible teases of an expanded terrain for the chapters to come... a satisfying stand-alone book while also promising really intriguing things to come for the remainder of the series. I recommend diving into it now."—Skiffy & Fanty
"Velocity Weapon is a roller-coaster ride of pure delight. Furious action sequences, funny dialog, and touching family interactions all wrapped up in a plot that will keep you guessing every step of the way. This is one of the best science fiction novels of 2019."—K. B. Wagers, author of the Indranan War Trilogy
"Velocity Weapon is fast-paced, twisty, edge-of-your-seat fun. Space opera fans are in for a massive treat!"—Marina J. Lostetter, author of Noumenon
A brilliantly plotted yarn of survival and far-future political intrigue—Guardian (UK)
"This is a sweeping space opera with scope and vision, tremendously readable. I look forward to seeing where O'Keefe takes this story next."—Locus

This book has all the great hallmarks of an epic space opera! I truly cannot recommend it enough. Just give it a try if you're on the fence and I guarantee you'll immediately be hooked.
Pay no heed to the review saying the "forced PC content" hurts the book. I literally didn't even know what they were talking about for the majority of the book. We follow 3 POV in this book. The two siblings Sanda and Biran, as well as a third character who runs heists in another star system. The woman of this 3rd POV is minor in comparison and the "horrible PC content" is simply a small non binary side character named Arden that she interacts with a bit. The fact that someone complained over suuuch a tiny aspect of the book and happened to be offended that Arden doesn't like gendered pronouns, it's honestly kind of sad and I think it says a lot about this person that the tiniest smidge of NB representation drove them up insane.
I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS ENOUGH!

Very good start to a series by young author. Fans of The Expanse will find familiarity there.
Very good start to a new series
