Overview & Summary

Jasmine "Jazz" Bashara is a small-time smuggler scraping by in Artemis, humanity's first city on the Moon, when she's offered a lucrative but dangerous job that spirals into a conspiracy threatening the entire lunar colony. Andy Weir grounds the heist-thriller plot in the same rigorous, problem-solving science that made The Martian a hit, working out the economics, physics, and engineering of lunar life in detail. It's a fast-paced blend of science fiction and crime caper.
