ReviewsAdvance Praise for Artemis: "Weir has done the impossible--he's topped The Martian with a sci-fi-noir-thriller set in a city on the moon. What more do you want from life? Go read it!"- Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter " Everything you could hope for in a follow-up to The Martian : another smart, fun, fast-paced adventure that you won't be able to put down." - Ernest Cline, New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One "A superior near-future thriller...with a healthy dose of humor." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "An exciting, whip-smart, funny thrill-ride...one of the best science fiction novels of the year." -- Booklist (starred review) "Narrated by a kick-ass leading lady, this thriller has it all - a smart plot, laugh-out-loud funny moments, and really cool science." -- Library Journal (starred review) Praise for The Martian : "Brilliant...a celebration of human ingenuity [and] the purest example of real-science sci-fi for many years." -- Wall Street Journal "A gripping survival story." -- New York Times "Terrific...a crackling good read."-- USA Today "A marvel...Robinson Crusoe in a space suit."-- Washington Post "Impressively geeky...the technical details keep the story relentlessly precise and the suspense ramped up." -- Entertainment Weekly "A story for readers who enjoy thrillers, science fiction, non-fiction, or flat-out adventure." -- Associated Press "Utterly nail-baiting and memorable."-- Financial Times "A hugely entertaining novel that reads like a rocket ship afire."-- Chicago Tribune

SynopsisNEW 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. Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal. That'll have to do., 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.

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.

Not the Martain
It's hard to review this book. I've read project Hail Mary and the Martain by this author loved them both. They seemed to be an act of love on authors part. This book seems more like it's his new job which it is. The flavor and flow seems different maybe because their working for a pay day. Book is not bad might rate 2.5 stars no option by ebay to split the difference. to me it's closer to 2 than 3 so went with 2.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Lightweight with great features
I actually purchased the e-book for my wife, who had asked for it on her Christmas list. I have not read the book myself, so I cannot say whether I would or would not recommend it or whether the content is compelling. The download was accessible shortly after I placed my order, so that part was good.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
