A twisty, high concept thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of global phenomenon, The Martian
Ever had a bad day? Try having one on the moon...
´Fascinating´ Tim Peake, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ask an Astronaut

------------------------------------------

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...

"Artemis does for the moon what The Martian did for Mars. His second novel concerns a likeable protagonist in peril, saved by her own resourcefulness, in a tale that leaves readers better informed about science than they were before they read it...Plus the narrator has real charm. There´s no question that this novel is going to be a hit" The Guardian
ANDY WEIR built a two-decade career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, The Martian, allowed him to live out his dream of writing full-time.

He is a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of such subjects as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. He also mixes a mean cocktail.

He lives in California.
