“A superior near-future thriller…with a healthy dose of humor.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Everything you could hope for in a follow-up to The Martian: another smart, fun, fast-paced adventure that you won’t be able to put down.” – Ernest Cline, New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One What more do you want from life? Go read it!”– Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter “Weir has done the impossible-he’s topped The Martian with a sci-fi-noir-thriller set in a city on the moon. "Weir excels when it comes to geeky references, snarky humour and scenes of ingenious scientific problem-solving.” - Financial Times “Out-of-this-world storytelling.”- Houston Chronicle “Makes cutting-edge science sexy and relevant…Weir has created a realistic and fascinating future society, and every detail feels authentic and scientifically sound.” - Associated Press “Smart and sharp…Weir has done it again a sci-fi crowd pleaser made for the big screen.”. “Revitalizes the Lunar-colony scenario, with the author’s characteristic blend of engineering know-how and survival suspense.Jazz is a great heroine, tough with a soft core, crooked with inner honesty.” - Wall Street Journal “An action-packed techno-thriller of the first order…the perfect vehicle for humans who want to escape, if only for a time, the severe gravity of planet earth. The pages fly by.” - USA Today Propelled by its heroine’s wisecracking voice, set in a city that’s at once stunningly imagined and intimately familiar, and brimming over with clever problem-solving and heist-y fun, Artemis is another irresistible brew of science, suspense, and humor from #1 bestselling author Andy Weir. Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal. She’ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city. Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit she’s in way over her head. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself. The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz’s problems. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can’t handle, and she figures she’s got the ‘swagger’ part down.
And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions-not to mention sheer brazen swagger. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time.
Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony.
Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller-a heist story set on the moon.
