Artemis

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.

Readers say *Artemis* is a fun, fast-paced sci-fi thriller with humor, vivid technical details, and an imaginative lunar setting. Many appreciate Jazz...
Good page turner with a badass (and asshole-ish) female narrator and lots of technical details about life on the moon. Definitely kept my interest, but didn't really expand my understanding of humanity. The writing makes it easy to see the "mental movie" as you read!
Well written and on par with the author’s other works so far as quality goes. The only major issue was that this book has a bad case of, “men writing women,” which ruined some of it for me. I wouldn’t rate the plot this as highly as The Martian or Project Hail Mary, but it was a fun to read.

Me encanto la ciencia detras de este libro , de verdad lo recomiendo a los apasionados por todas las cosas que van mas alla de lo que podemos ver aca en la tierra. fue un poco confuso que una simple contrabandista supiera tanto de fisica y quimica y uf.. y que utilizara un lenguaje tan vulgar y se comportara como un hombre en algunas situaciones pero lejos de eso disfrute el libro

While not quite as engaging as Project Hail Mary, this space tale was a good one!
