Megan E. O'Keefe is the author of the new space opera novel, VELOCITY WEAPON (Orbit Books). Gunnery Sergeant Sanda Greeve awakens aboard an unmanned enemy ship to discover she has lost a leg, lost her entire planet, and lost 230 years in stasis. Her only companion is Bero, the ship's advanced AI, who is eager to help, but is perhaps not entirely trustworthy. Sanda's deep space plight runs parallel with her brother Biran's political career on their home planet, as he struggles to retrieve her and other military personnel lost to the catastrophic attack from a rival colony.
