Deal Details
Various Retailers have Artemis: A Novel by Andy Weir (eBook) on sale for $2.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

Available from: About this book:
  • 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.

I'm glad that some people enjoyed it, but it was not for me. The protagonist makes dumb decisions constantly and it drove me up a wall. I know that the author was reacting to the backlash of people calling Mark Watney a Mary Sue and wanted to write a flawed character but he turned the knob too far here IMO.

I know it's not as good and PHM or The Martian, but I thought this was another fun read.

Easy read if you're inbetween books. Kind of forgettable unfortunately, but fun while it lasts.

Andy tried to write a female protagonist and... just wrote a man with an inferiority complex.The world of Artemis is fun and interesting though. A lot of thiught, probably more thought, was put into world building, than the main character. Worth the read to check the world out at least.
