Biographical Note: "Weir excels when it comes to geeky references, snarky humour and scenes of ingenious scientific problem-solving." -- Financial Times "Weir has done the impossible--he's topped The Martian with a sci-fi-noir-thriller set in a city on the moon. What more do you want from life? Go read it!" --Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter "Everything you could hope for in a follow-up to The Martian another smart, fun, fast-paced adventure that you won't be able to put down." --Ernest Cline, New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One "A superior near-future thriller . . . with a healthy dose of humor." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "An exciting, whip-smart, funny thrill-ride . . . one of the best science fiction novels of the year." --Booklist (starred review) "Narrated by a kick-ass leading lady, this thriller has it all--a smart plot, laugh-out-loud funny moments, and really cool science." --Library Journal (starred review) Reading Line: By the #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Martian Publisher Marketing: 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. Review Citations:
