Bonus Book of the Month: ‘Artemis’ by Andy Weir
Are you a fan of Andy Weir’s novels?
Well, if you are and in case you didn’t know MBC has read Project Hail Mary and The Martian for book club. The MBC community has chosen Artemis as the bonus book for April!
For those who haven’t read the Red Rising series, we wanted to add this bonus book to keep our favourite authors in conversation.
Andy Weir built a two-decade career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, The Martian, allowed him to live out his dream of writing full-time. He is a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of such subjects as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight.
Artemis
by andy weir
Jazz Bashara is a criminal.
Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent.
Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself—and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.
What Artemis Offers
Morality
The first and only city on the moon
Friendship
Survival
The chance to commit the perfect crime
