The new novel from Andy Weir, the author of the global bestselling novel The Martian which inspired the blockbuster film directed by Ridley Scott. Ever had a bad day? Try having one on the moon... WELCOME TO ARTEMIS. The first city on the moon. Population 2,000. Mostly tourists. Some criminals. Jazz Bashara is one of the criminals. She lives in a poor area of Artemis and subsidises her work as a porter with smuggling contraband onto the moon. But it's not enough. So when she's offered the chance to make a lot of money she jumps at it. But though planning a crime in 1/6th gravity may be more fun, it's a lot more dangerous. A high-octane science space heist, packed with real science, Artemis is a winning vision of life in space that’s already set to be adapted for the big screen. As the Times writes, ‘Weir's great strength, as he showed in The Martian, is to make us believe. His future society living inside massive domes built not far from where Armstrong set foot in 1969 is utterly plausible.’
