Artemis by Andy Weir


Title: Artemis
Author: Andy Weir
Genre: Science Fiction

Artemis is the name of the mining and tourist settlement on Earth's satellite. Jazz has grown up in Artemis and is underemployed as a porter/smuggler with dreams of a big payout. When one of her favorite clients asks if she's willing to branch out into sabotage for a ton of moon money, she's onboard, but when things go wrong, they go very wrong. Murder, an assassin, a father oozing disappointment, and possible deportation are just the beginning of the challenges Jazz faces. She'll have to think on her feet if she's ever going to survive in such a hostile environment. 

This is the latest from Andy Weir, the guy who puts science in science fiction.  You may recognize Andy as the author of The Martian, and like that story, he has written another nail-biter set in space.
