Yet she has a funny side to her which you discover throughout the book. She lives in a more than desirable situation and has issues with her family and her relationships. It’s a perfectly competent paint-by-numbers heist caper with a perfectly likable heroine and a perfectly. Jazz has a job which she does not like too much, but she is damn good at it. Artemis, the latest from The Martian author Andy Weir, is an aggressively fine book. She is struggling with very similar issues with which people on earth face every day. The main character is written in such a way which gives you the chance to relate to her, even though she is on a moon base. All of the action in the book makes sense and has coherence together. This exciting, whip-smart, funny thrill-ride boasts a wonderful cast of characters, a wide cultural milieu, and the appeal of a striking young woman as the main.

There are so many plots happening at the same time, yet they do not become confusing. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if youre not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. Personally, I believe that any avid science fiction reader will like this book. The main protagonist Jazz is an eclectic personality that makes the first. In short: Tension and mayhem on the lunar landscape.Follow her on a murder mystery story on the moon as her side hustle crazy rich billionaire “friend” is killed and she is stuck between trying to find the murder (to prove her innocence), survive herself from the assassins who pursue her and try to save the moon base all at the same time!

I enjoyed her one- liners although I was never fully sure what she was going to do next!įull of detail on the science that allows life to occur on the Moon, the novel gives you one vision of how society could have evolved there.

She is motivated to fight her way out of poverty initially and seems to be able to forge a path for herself on the inhospitable Moon where she has lived for most of her life. ANDY WEIR built a career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, THE MARTIAN, allowed him to live out his dream of writing fulltime.

You don't find out her back story at first, but soon discover that she has a great instinct to survive and a quick intellect which sets her apart. The most interesting aspect of Artemis has to be the central character of Jazz Bashara.
