Artemis by Andy Weir

Artemis by Andy Weir

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.

Andy Weir worked as a software engineer until the success of The Martian, his first published novel, allowed him to pursue his dream of becoming a full-time writer. He has always been a space nerd, with interests in relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. He also knows how to make a mean drink. He resides in the state of California.
