Naira and Tarquin have escaped the pull of a dying planet, and are
now bound together to find the truth behind the all-powerful
Mercator family and the blight that has been killing habitable
planets. But the Mercator secrets are buried deep, and Tarquin's
father, the head of Mercator, knows the revolutionaries are on his
tail. When Tarquin's father disappears, taking the rest of his
family and the universe's remaining supply of starship fuel with
him, chaos breaks loose between the universe's ruling families. And
Naira's revolution must be put aside for the sake of humanity's
immediate survival. Praise for the series: 'Character-driven
science fiction at its best - a taut novel with human questions at
its heart' E. J. Beaton, author of The Councillor 'Smart, incisive
and utterly gripping. Megan E. O'Keefe's masterful storytelling
will draw you into a complex, brutal, yet hope-charged world, break
your heart, and leave you begging for more' Rowenna Miller, author
of Torn 'A delightfully twisty space opera filled with unique
worldbuilding and deft explorations of humanity, family and power.
Add in a dash of rebellion and a hint of romance, and I'm hooked -
I can't wait for the next book!' Jessie Mihalik, author of Hunt the
Stars 'This is space opera for the ages, wrapped in complicated and
delicious layers of family and loyalty and science and love and
duty. I couldn't put it down! Karen Osborne, author of Architects
of Memory
She's a revolutionary. Humanity is running out of options.
Habitable planets are being destroyed as quickly as they're found,
and Naira Sharp thinks she knows the reason why. The all-powerful
Mercator family has been controlling the exploration of the
universe for decades, and exploiting any materials they find along
the way under the guise of helping humanity's expansion. But Naira
knows the truth, and she plans to bring the whole family down from
the inside. He's the heir to the dynasty. Tarquin Mercator never
wanted to run a galaxy-spanning business empire. He just wanted to
study geology and read books. But Tarquin's father has tasked him
with monitoring the settlement of a new planet, and he doesn't
really have a choice in the matter. Disguised as Tarquin's new
bodyguard, Naira plans to destroy the settlement ship before they
make land. But neither of them expects to end up stranded on a dead
planet. To survive and keep her secret, Naira will have to join
forces with the man she's sworn to hate. And together they will
uncover a plot that's bigger than both of them.
'A brilliantly plotted yarn of survival and far-future political
intrigue' Guardian ***SHORTLISTED FOR THE PHILIP K. DICK AWARD***
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. Praise for
Velocity Weapon 'An entertaining SF thriller' SciFiNow 'Furious
action sequences, funny dialogue, and a plot that will keep you
guessing every step of the way' K. B. Wagers 'Velocity Weapon is
fast-paced, twisty, edge-of-your-seat fun. Space opera fans are in
for a massive treat!' Marina J. Lostetter

The fate of the galaxy is on the line in the second book of this gripping, visionary space opera by award-winning author Megan E. O'Keefe.
Sanda and Tomas are fleeing for their lives after letting the most dangerous smartship in the universe run free. Now, unsure of who to trust, Sanda knows only one thing for certain - to be able to save herself from becoming a pawn of greater powers, she needs to discover the secret of the coordinates hidden in her skull.
But getting to those coordinates is a problem she can't solve alone. They exist beyond a deadgate - a sealed-off Casimir gate that opens up into a dead-end system. And there's a dangerous new player who wants the coordinates for their own ends - a player who will happily crack her open to get them.
Dazzling space battles, intergalactic politics and rogue AI collide in the follow-up to the Philip K. Dick award-shortlisted Velocity Weapon.

'METICULOUSLY PLOTTED, EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT SPACE OPERA WITH A SOUL'
Kirkus on Velocity Weapon In the final book of this explosive
Philip K. Dick Award-nominated space opera, the universe is under
threat and an ancient alien intelligence threatens to bring
humanity down - unless Major Sanda Greeve and her crew can stop it
. . . The code has been cracked. The secrets of the Casimir gates
have been revealed. But humanity still isn't safe. The alien
intelligence known as Rainier and her clones are still out there,
hell-bent on its destruction. And only Sanda can stop them. With
the universe's most powerful ship under her command and some of the
most skilled hackers, fighters and spies on her team, it will still
take everything she has to find the key to taking down an immortal
enemy with seemingly limitless bodies, resources and power. Praise
for the series: 'A brilliantly plotted yarn of survival and
far-future political intrigue' Guardian 'Full of twists, feints,
and deception, O'Keefe's latest presents a visionary world rife
with political intrigue and space adventure' Booklist (starred
review) 'Skillfully interweaves intrigue, action, and strong
characterization' Publishers Weekly 'A must-read for fans of James
S. A. Corey and Alastair Reynolds' Bookbag 'O'Keefe keeps the pace
pumping, timing the big twists perfectly' SFX
Winner of the 2017 Gemmel Morningstar Award Detan Honding, a wanted
conman of noble birth and ignoble tongue, has found himself in the
oasis city of Aransa. He and his trusted companion Tibs may have
pulled off one too many cons against the city's elite and need to
make a quick escape. They set their sights on their biggest heist
yet - the gorgeous airship of the exiled commodore Thratia. But in
the middle of his scheme, a face changer known as a doppel starts
murdering key members of Aransa's government. The sudden paranoia
makes Detan's plans of stealing Thratia's ship that much harder.
And with this sudden power vacuum, Thratia can solidify her power
and wreak havoc against the Empire. But the doppel isn't working
for Thratia and has her own intentions. Did Detan accidentally walk
into a revolution and a crusade? He has to be careful - there's a
reason most people think he's dead. And if his dangerous secret
gets revealed, he has a lot more to worry about than a stolen
airship. File Under Fantasy [ Sky Heist - Doppel Vision - Knives
