The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thrillerāa heist story set on the moon.
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, humanityās 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 sheās owed for a long time.
So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz canāt say no. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosionsānot to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect canāt handle, and she figures sheās got the āswaggerā part down.
The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazzās problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself.
Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit sheās in way over her head. Sheāll 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.
Thatāll have to do.
Propelled by its heroineās wisecracking voice, set in a city thatās 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.
