Artemis: A Novel

Artemis: A Novel

The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thrillerâ€”a heist story set on the moon.

Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich.
Â
Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanityâ€™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 sheâ€™s owed for a long time.
Â
So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz canâ€™t 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 explosionsâ€”not to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect canâ€™t handle, and she figures sheâ€™s got the â€˜swaggerâ€™ part down.
Â
The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazzâ€™s problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself.
Â
Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit sheâ€™s in way over her head. Sheâ€™ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city.
Â
Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal.
Â
Thatâ€™ll have to do.
Â
Propelled by its heroineâ€™s wisecracking voice, set in a city thatâ€™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.
