The pages fly by.” - USA Today Propelled by its heroine’s wisecracking voice, set in a city that’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. Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal. She’ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city. Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit she’s in way over her head. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself.

The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz’s problems. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can’t handle, and she figures she’s got the ‘swagger’ part down. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions-not to mention sheer brazen swagger. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller-a heist story set on the moon.
