These elements are woven throughout the story in exquisite detail, from the impacts of the tourist economy to how the inter-dome train system functions. Weir included an entire appendix detailing all the research and planning that went into designing the lunar colony. In a way, though, the real star of the story isn't Jazz, but Artemis itself. Weir has once again crafted a story where brains matter more than brawn, and the result is a fast-paced and clever hard-science heist. One scene saw Jazz utilizing the lower lunar gravity to hilarious effect when facing off against the main antagonist. My favorite parts involved characters using their science knowledge and ingenuity to MacGyver their way out of trouble. The plot is tight, with minimal plot holes. When one of Artemis' richest men approaches her with a job, Jazz graduates from smuggler to saboteur to help him take over one of the moon's critical industries. Jazz is smart and resourceful, full of sassy comebacks and witty observations. Set in the first colony on the moon, Artemis centers on part-time smuggler Jasmine “Jazz” Bashira. Artemis has the same basic "techno-thriller" foundation, but there the similarities end.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Martian (and liked the movie even better) for its entertaining blend of science and adventure. Having unlocked all the app bling, I figured I would depart from the usual trend to do a few book reviews.Īrtemis is the second novel from Andy Weir, author of The Martian. What began as a challenge to see if I could win the completely meaningless "read every day for a week" achievement badge from the Kindle app's spiraled into a months-long reading bonanza. The author of The Martian brings us a science-driven heist on the moon.
