'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.

Reviews
Catalyst Gate and The Protectorate series is a must Sci-Fi read -- FanFiAddict
Catalyst Gate ends a trilogy that I gave high marks to across the board. I really loved this story. O'Keefe's writing moves at a blistering pace. There's a protagonist with disability, several LGBTQ+ relationships, and traumatic challenges to overcome. Wild ideas, cool tech, wonderful representation, and suspenseful as hell - an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a grand adventure in the stars -- FANTASY BOOK REVIEW
Catalyst Gate is the smashing finale to a trilogy that was already poised to be one of my favourites of all time . . . If you're a fan so far, you'll be well rewarded; if you haven't started the series yet, rest assured that it's a journey well worth taking" -- REALMS OF MY MIND
