The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller—a 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, 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. 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 explosions—not to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can't handle, and she figures she's got the 'swagger' part down.

The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz's 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 she's in way over her head. 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.

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.

Many readers who devoured The Martian and loved that book seemed not to care as much for Artemis. I read both and very much enjoyed both for different reasons. The Martian is a survival-at-all costs thriller, Artemis is a slacker-gets-caught-up-in-heist-and-politics in a lunar colony setting. The descriptions of everyday life and tourism, to include the restrictions that come with living, working and visiting the lunar city/colony of Artemis are fascinating...it's the kind of narrative that Andy Weir excels at. I'd recommend Artemis at full price...at this discounted price, GO FOR IT.
I enjoyed Weir's Project Hail Mary more than The Martian. Artemus was my least favorite out of the three. I can never get into moon based stories.
Does this Artemis also have trouble taking off?

Fun and easy read. I'd also recommend the Red Rising trilogy after The Martian and Artemis while staying on the space theme.

Great recommendation on Red Rising, definitely one of my favorite book series. In case you didn't know, there are actually five books in the series at this point, with two more planned I believe.

The Martian and Project Hail Mary were really great books. Artemis was not. This is not worth the $3 IMO. This book is significantly different than his other work so do not buy this if you are only doing so because you like the other two books.

Enjoyed the Audible narration, but the book itself wasn't a favorite. Loved The Martian and Project Hail Mary.

Not as good as The Martian but still pretty good. If you enjoyed The Martian you will enjoy this and at $3 it's definitely worth it.

I'll agree with others that said the book wasn't great. Honestly felt it read more like a young adult book. Just wasn't that gripping and the characters didn't grab my interest.

Great book if you like the main character and everyone around her talking about how slutty she is with no relevance to the plot.
