The best-selling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller - a heist story set on the moon.
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent.
Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself - and that now her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.
Bringing to life Weir's brash, whip-smart protagonist is actress Rosario Dawson (Marvel's The Defenders, Sin City, Death Proof). With the breathless immediacy of one realizing they're one cracked helmet visor away from oblivion, Dawson deftly captures Jazz's first-person perspective – all while delivering sarcastic Weir-ian one-liners and cracking wise in the face of death. And with a cast of diverse characters from all walks of life calling Artemis home, Dawson tonally somersaults to voice Kenyan prime ministers, Ukrainian scientists, and Saudi welders. It's a performance that transports listeners right alongside Jazz, matching her step for step on every lunar inch of her pulse-pounding journey.

You know the oft mentioned trope of how male Hollywood film writers don't know how to write female characters? Well, if you can extend that to books, this one would be a prime candidate.
For one - the lead character is just plain annoying. Yes, the character is meant to be annoying to others, but such characters ought to never to annoying to readers. And especially not your protagonist.
The second problem is that the dialogs are bad. Again, comes back to him clearly doing a rush job and either not knowing how to write a female characters or not caring enough about that aspect of the book.
One other issue is minor but one that many reviewers pointed out. There is a throwaway joke in the book the character makes about tasting human fluids. That joke is to unbelievably cringeworthy and off-putting. I just couldn't believe he made the lead character say that (especially considering the age she is supposed to be at; the book surely would be read by young adults). The reason I bring up this seemingly minor issue with a one-liner joke is that it is indicative of the fact that -- clearly, he should have consulted a good editor. His first book 'The Martian' had the same problem -- that small section about the designated 'last survivor' was just horrifying, jarring and incongruent in tone. It had no place in the book (movie made the wise decision to leave it out). Thankfully, his third book had no such faux pas, and he seemed to rectify those issues.
In the end, it's a light quick read but prepare to be disappointed by what the book could've been. Just a couple of months more and a good editor would've done wonders for this book.
