![]() Artemis is author Andy Weir’s second novel. Artemis, the namesake of the book, is the first colony on the moon. Home to about 2000 people, the colony operates like a small city. In a civilization the size of Artemis, the residents will want a reminder of home that is not completely fireproofed and sterilized. That’s where Jazz Bashara comes into play. She works as a mainly as a porter, moving things throughout the city. On the side, however, she works as a smuggler, bringing illegal items into the city for the people that can afford them. When one of her oldest clients asks her to do a job that will turn Jazz from a small smuggler into a full-on criminal, but lets her pay off an old debt, she cannot turn it down. The job ends up getting Jazz into way more trouble and danger than she could have imagined. I read The Martian a while ago after my dad suggested it to me and really enjoyed both the book and the movie. I was excited for the release of Artemis and read it immediately when it came out. Andy Weir writes so every detail is realistic and scientifically accurate. Through his characters he not only shows his talent as a writer but his love for science and technology. Weir makes everything in the book easy to understand and fun to read. I recommend this to anyone who likes mystery or science-fiction. -LS, grade 10
