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.

Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal.

That’ll have to do.

    When I review books I do not reiterate what I read. I do not pick it apart to where there is nothing left for the would be reader to discover for themselves. I like to let the potential reader know if I liked it overall with a few extra details. So no worry on spoilers. I'll keep my thoughts on it as short as possible. I'll start by saying that I enjoyed The Martian for the humor and technical aspects of the science portrayed. The details brought me to an unfamiliar landscape with a situation I will likely never be in. I was entertained, it flowed smoothly, and it made me appreciate this writers style. Having said that, I bought Artemis without knowing anything about it other than who had written it. I did not know what to expect. When I began reading it, I could tell I was in for fun ride, so to speak. What a cool story, with interesting, fun characters. Once again science and an unfamiliar landscape drew me in, yet with situations just familiar enough to be able to relate. I could visualize the surroundings, I felt like I knew the characters, I was curious as to how the situation/s would resolve given that the norms of Artemis are wildly different than what we know of Earth. I just enjoyed the heck out of it. Furthermore, what I found is that I didn't want the story to end. Situations can resolve, but I want to be able to continue to observe the life of these people. There is so much story just given the setting. I would love to see more of these characters and more story to be told of this way of life. There is a lot of rich material to work from, and would absolutely be a wonderful way to delve deeper into all of it. I really hope this isn't a once and done story line/story setting. It was a gem of a read. Nicely done!

    The Martian was my favorite book in 2016, and I was also a fan of the movie when I saw it in 2017. When I heard that Andy Weir was releasing a new book I was stoked and waited eagerly for its release. In November of last year, Artemis hit the shelves. The blurb revealed that it was another book set in space, but this time on the Moon. Wow. I couldn't wait to get a copy and delve back into Weir's universe.

    As with The Martian, the book does contain a lot of the author's trademark detail (ie. technical explanations etc), which I think is an asset in adding authenticity to the plot. It shows that the content is well researched and that what is happening is scientifically and technically possible.
    Artemis is a settlement on the moon, which comprises of a number of domes (named after famous astronauts) where a sizeable population of 2000 people live.

    Aside from the local mining industry, part of its economy is fed by tourism, where people wealthy enough come from Earth to visit the Moon for a vacation. Besides the obvious attraction of being on the Moon, the other main tourist spot is the site of the lunar landing. It reminded me of the mock-up that I went to at NASA in Florida, but instead of sitting in a theatre with a replica lander and special effects, the space tourists are at the real site looking through a thick glass wall at the actual landing module and astronaut footprints.

    The main character, Jazz, is a young woman who is making her humble living as a courier/ deliverer/ small-time smuggler. Although she seemed nice enough, I don't think I really got onboard with her. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's easier to connect with someone who is on the side of good, rather than someone who is on the side that we normally oppose. That said, we do love Han Solo, and he was a smuggler!

    I found the first half of the book very slow. I realize that it was all about setting up for the second half, but I didn't find it that engaging. Perhaps I was expecting too much, given how much I liked The Martian. I think that my memories of Weir's first book kept me going to see where it was all leading. Jazz is a strong woman, driven mainly by her need for cash and a want to improve her life. Maybe it was her self-focus that failed to click with me. In the first half of the book she makes some questionable decisions that definitely make her some enemies, and as such, it sets up for the ensuing plot line.

    Once we moved into the second half things got much better. The plot was thickening, the pace quickened, thrilling arrived, and there was a lot more happening. In order to move forward and try to fix things, Jazz needed to dig deep and find unique ways to deal with the situation she was in. This was reminiscent of what I liked about The Martian - making the most of what you have to keep going.

    Without giving too much away, there was a section of the plot in the second half that I thought would have been a much more exciting area to focus on and expand, instead of the amount of time allocated to the first half. I hope that makes sense. In my opinion, it would have made for a more exciting and thrilling story.

    In a Nutshell - Artemis is a good book, which gets better as you read more. If you find yourself lagging during the first half, hang in there and keep reading. Although it's not as good as The Martian, it should keep sci-fi fans entertained.

    I really wanted to like this book. I read the opening sample given here, and was intrigued enough to buy the book. I bought it from one of the "used book store" listings here, and I'm glad I bought the book this way. If I'd paid full price, at the end of the story, I'd think I overpaid for what I'd just read.

    The Martian set a very high standard for Andy Weir. Or, it's a tough act to follow. Artemis doesn't get close to matching The Martian. Period.

    There is the "science drives the plot" element seen in The Martian. In Artemis, I think it becomes a case where some piece of technology, or some science fact, suggests where the plot should go, not the plot wants to go in some direction, and there's scientific information to support that choice.

    One piece of science connected to basic description of Artemis completely baffles me. The atmosphere there is low pressure oxygen. This in spite of welding, sparking, illicit smoking going on. IIRC the Apollo 1 catastrophe began with a spark in a low pressure, oxygen rich atmosphere. What part of the explanation of Artemis' atmosphere did I sleep through?

    Economics plays a significant part of the later part of the story. (no spoiler here -->) At one point, Artemis, the lunar city/colony, is described as a giant Ponzi scheme. It took some thought to work out the reasoning behind that statement (although, once understood, it makes sense). If a "Ponzi scheme" sounds like something from Happy Days, parts of the story will probably be hard sledding.

    Andy Weir set himself a significant challenge in writing the story from a female point of view. Having a personal "work in progress" that started with "let me see if I can write a story from a female point of view", I have some sense of how challenging that is for a male writer.

    The few people, my wife included, who read pieces of the novel, said, "You? Write as a female? Hah! Never going to happen!". I never got back a "no woman would ever do that", or "yeah, that makes sense". I wonder what input Andy Weir got from the women he listed. OK, enough about that.

    The start of the story, looked good in the excerpt, turned into "get on with it, do something that matters!". The story wanders around, trying to lay out a foundation for the ending, but doesn't move the story in the process. Most of the story is that way. Elements move in one direction, then move in another direction, and in yet another direction, while the overall story takes too much time to advance.

    Usually, when I start a book that's caught my attention, I tend to binge on the book. At one point I set Artemis down, and didn't feel a need to immediately pick it up again. Not a good sign...

    I like The Martian. Project Hail Mary (released after Artemis) got four stars (see my review there). Artemis lags far behind the two other books.

    Overall, would I recommend this book to someone interested in science fiction with a strong amount of science fact? I guess so.

    SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!

    Jazz... I'd like to like her, but there's far too much "smartass" to really warm up to. There are some points, notably with her father, that do move Jazz towards being relatable. Her behavior with Dale and Svoboda (read the book to know who they are) is far too "smartass".

    The interactions with Rudy (Artemis' constable) don't hold together - if this is so, than that must follow, but instead the interaction, again, wanders around. Why does Administrator Ngugi often refer to Jazz as "dear". It's like a king or queen calling a subject "pal" or "dear". It doesn't hold together.

    Why, why, why does Svoboda invent a technological condom(!)? Does it save the day for Artemis? No. Is it a running joke? Vaguely. It's... "why are we spending time on this?".

    "Lefty", the mob hitman, essentially materializes, with no back-story filling in "how did he get here in the first place".

    The handling of the story about Jazz and Kelvin is... each message exchange just doesn't fit into how the story's running. At the end of the book, the Jazz/Kelvin messages, and the main story line meet, but it takes a long time to get there. The basic plot line of Jazz and Kelvin is, in some regards, handled better than the main plot line.

    A plot point that had my "Oh, really, c'mon, that doesn't make sense" alarm ringing is Trond's giving Jazz the job of destroying four autonomous ore harvesters. The "why" sort of makes sense, maybe, the "who" and "how"? Doesn't make sense or lacks plausibility. A) this plot element is too early in the story, B) it's far too "our plucky 'smartass' gal is going to take a walk across the moon to blow the harvesters up with some clever science factoids". The story unravels from there. The story does get pulled back together, mostly, later. The "Jazz blows up stuff" doesn't really work.

    One last point that bugs me. Through an unfortunate set of events and circumstances, far too "deus ex machina", Artemis' atmosphere is contaminated with chloroform. Of course there are only X minutes to save Artemis. After "The Nap", it's reported that nobody died, and there were only a few cardiac cases, all now OK, but need watching. Really???

    H U G E S P O I L E R ! !

    Points to Jazz for Taking A Bullet for Artemis. Why am I not surprised that Science saves her, even though she was, for three minutes, on the moon's surface without a suit. The book's like that.

    There's a lot more I could say (I'm told it's one of my better traits NOT), but I think the above supports my conclusion that Artemis is just not a book with a compelling story, and characters worth wanting to know more about. (Exception: Billy the bartender- what's his story? It's probably a good one.)

    If you come to this after The Martian and expect more of the same, this ain't it.
    What you find here is a well crafted story of a different genre and it is great in its own right.
    If The Martian is a story of survival after being marooned that just happens to be set on Mars, this is a caper tale in a frontier town. Think small time chancer takes a punt at something bigger. It just happens to be set on the moon.

    The main character is well written and believable and the environment is well researched, thought out and explained without going into too much detail.
    I really enjoyed this story and although some may decry it as not a good follow up to his first book, that was always going to be a high hill to climb - even in 1/6 the Earth's gravity ;)
    Read this, put aside ideas that it will be like The Martian (for that go read Project Hail Mary but even then it's not exactly the same), and enjoy it.
    I couldn't put it down. Rare for me these days.

    Reviewed in France on June 7, 2018
    Les deuxièmes livres sont souvent désappointants après un premier best-seller. J'attendais donc Andy Weir au tournant et le résultat est très satisfaisant.
    Le livre n'est pas une suite du Martian, mais simplement une autre histoire qui se passe dans l'espace, cette fois ci sur une base lunaire habitée.
    On retrouve son style SciFi à la Dan Brown, avec beaucoup de détails techniques (un peu moins scientifiques peut être que The Martian), et une intrigue qui tient la route. Les dialogues sont colorés, et font souvent rire.
    Sans être un fan de la science-fiction, le livre m'a beaucoup plu. Je le recommande à quiconque à apprécié The Martian.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Fitting Follow Up
    Reviewed in Canada on December 14, 2017
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    A fitting follow up to The Martian by Andy Weir.

    While it isn't the most revelatory science fiction novel to come out this decade, the character development has more depth than one would expect and it's a genuinely fun read. The protagonist is clever and well fleshed out with believable motives and personality. There is a touch of the "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" effect here which does lessen the protagonist, but because of how central she is to the plot, how competent her character is, and the generally "real and human" way in which she's portrayed, that's a minor criticism.

    If you enjoyed The Martian, you will enjoy Artemis. It's an easy read, hard to put down, and has a solid narrative structure to keep you engaged. World building is top notch, and the description of the cultural development both on Earth and on Artemis is remarkably and refreshingly non-Eurocentric.

    Adventures on the moon. Good follow up to "The Martian" Lots of details to figure out, but not as technical. I could see the set up then had to wait for the story to mix that into the plot. Main character is set up as clever, but then does many silly mistakes. Good adenture.
