NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the renowned author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian comes a “propulsive” (NPR) tale of science, suspense, and humor—a heist story set on the moon.
“An action-packed techno-thriller of the first order.”—USA Today
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. But engineering the perfect crime is just the start of her problems—because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis herself.
Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, she’ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city.

"I really like Andy Weir but this was a big miss for me. I just couldn't connect with the main character and found myself rooting against her. Project Hail Mary is a much more enjoyable read. Check that out instead!"

"great read, couldnt put it down. wish there was a follow up"
— Noob (4/5)
Different, but equally enjoyable.
"I read The Martian years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed this as well. The science is as prevalent as The Martian, as is the humour (I did laugh out loud multiple times). The dynamic of this story is much different from the Man Vs. Nature of The Martian, so be prepared for that. All in all, if you liked The Martian's tone and pace, you'll like this one as well."
— KW (4/5)

"Was interested in reading another book by Andy Weir after reading the Martian. Good read"
