Artemis
Artemis transports readers to the moon's first city, an industrial and tourist hub brimming with opportunity and danger. Jazz Bashara, a resident of Artemis, is far from the typical heroine. Living on the fringes of this lunar metropolis and struggling to make ends meet, she turns to smuggling contraband. Yet, her ambitions reach higher, as the moon's lower gravity proves to host as many pitfalls as fortunes.
Opportunity strikes when Jazz is presented with a high-stakes heist that promises a life-changing payout. However, executing a crime in the moon’s reduced gravity presents unique challenges and unprecedented risks. As Jazz delves deeper into her plan, she uncovers a conspiracy that threatens not just her future, but the entire city of Artemis. Navigating the complexities of lunar politics, underworld dealings, and her own survival instincts, Jazz must use her wits and audacity in a gripping fight against formidable odds.
Complete with Andy Weir's trademark blend of scientific accuracy and suspenseful storytelling, Artemis is a must-read for those who relished the excitement and ingenuity of The Martian.

About the Author
Andy Weir built a two-decade career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, The Martian, allowed him to live out his dream of writing full-time. He is a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of such subjects as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. He also mixes a mean cocktail. He lives in California.
