Artemis

By Andy Weir

Book Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the renowned author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian comes a "propulsive" (NPR) tale of science, suspense, and humor--a heist story set on the moon.

"An action-packed techno-thriller of the first order."--USA Today

Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich.

Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity's first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she's owed for a long time.

So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can't say no. But engineering the perfect crime is just the start of her problems--because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis herself.

Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, she'll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city.

Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal.

That'll have to do.

Artemis

I haven't been able to read it quite yet, but I have to say the book looks fantastic, the cover is perfect, I can't wait to buy his previous book The Martian

Great Read!!

I did not want to put it down!

Excited to read more from Andy Weir

I had this on a reading challenge and found it really enjoyable. The female perspective from a male point of view was sorta cliché sometimes but I found some laugh out loud moments and just enjoyed the concept of what live could be like living on the moon.

I want to live on the moon, too!

Another amazing adventure by Andy Weir! He really sets a stage for you in the books he writes—and in this case, the moon! The way he writes about the environment itself is so vivid, and the adventure is so unique and interesting and exciting! A book I just couldn’t put down!!
