About this listen
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 dead gate - 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.

"A brilliantly plotted yarn of survival and far-future political intrigue." (Guardian)
"O'Keefe keeps the pace pumping, timing the big twists perfectly." (SFX)
"Skillfully interweaves intrigue, action, and strong characterization." (Publishers Weekly)
I actually ended up pausing this book and had to go back and listen to Velocity Weapon again to get caught up in the story and I highly recommend other listeners do the same. It will add depth to the story that you won't get through simple recall.
What I love about the author is she doesn't go for those annoyingly predictable cliff hanger chapters where you end up leaving each of your main characters amid some dramatic climax scene then start the next chapter doing the same to a different character. It was a pleasant surprise to continue with the current character's drama in the next chapter.
I also really appreciated how she addressed gender neutrality and used their pronoun without any rolling out of the cliched personality/dialogue/physical appearance tropes that usually accompany non cis gender characters and just normalised them.
Can't wait for book 3!
Fantastic.
