Velocity Weapon by Megan E. O'Keefe

Velocity Weapon is a science fiction novel written by Megan E. O'Keefe. It is the first book in the Protectorate series, published in 2019. The brand—which in this context refers to the intellectual property and publication identity—is deeply American in its origins, reflecting the author's nationality and the initial publication market.

Manufacturing of physical copies occurs in multiple locations depending on the region of sale, though for the UK and US markets, production is primarily centralized within those domestic borders through various printing facilities. The brand is managed under the Orbit imprint, which is a major name in the speculative fiction genre.

Ownership of the brand lies with Hachette Book Group, one of the world's largest trade book publishers. As part of a massive global network, the brand benefits from international distribution channels and extensive marketing resources provided by its French-based ultimate parent company.
