About this listen

The best-selling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller - a heist story set on the moon.

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.

Bringing to life Weir's brash, whip-smart protagonist is actress Rosario Dawson (Marvel's The Defenders, Sin City, Death Proof). With the breathless immediacy of one realizing they're one cracked helmet visor away from oblivion, Dawson deftly captures Jazz's first-person perspective – all while delivering sarcastic Weir-ian one-liners and cracking wise in the face of death. And with a cast of diverse characters from all walks of life calling Artemis home, Dawson tonally somersaults to voice Kenyan prime ministers, Ukrainian scientists, and Saudi welders. It's a performance that transports listeners right alongside Jazz, matching her step for step on every lunar inch of her pulse-pounding journey.

Critic reviews

"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)

"An exciting, whip-smart, funny thrill-ride…. one of the best science fiction novels of the year." (Booklist)

"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)

"[A] superior near-future thriller.... Weir leavens the hard SF with a healthy dose of humor." (Publishers Weekly)

"[Narrator Rosario] Dawson makes Jasmine sound like the lovable rogue she is.... Dawson makes listeners care about a diverse cast of characters with quirky mannerisms." (AudioFile)

I really should have read the reviews because other people have been here before me and could have saved me the time.

Don't come looking for a book of the quality of the Martian. It's not even close.

Don't come looking for a good story, it's predictable, has holes and is uninspiring.

But the killer, for me, is the author's view of how young women think. Wow. You should read the book to experience this.

On a positive note, loved the narrator and production.

Oh gosh

I dont understand the bad reviews.
I have listened to loads of rubbish on here lately and was pleased to have a great book to listen too for a change.
Rosario does a fantastic job with the characters and I totally get the plot.
shes offered a get rich quick scheme it all goes tits up and she has to think on her feet for life or death.
BRILLIANT.
well done Andy weir and well done Rosario Dawson you had me hooked from the start.

Brilliant listen

Not a patch on the Martian. Characters were weak, plot uninteresting (who cares about welding?), main character isn't particularly likeable. Narrator isn't very good at voices, the attempt at what I guess is a Cockeney barkeep is awful.

Mediocre at best. Dull story, poor performance

Great narrator. Plot has some flaws for me. Moon society poorly developed, impact of no kids only mentioned in passing! Others have said the main character isn't a convincing female, I'm not sure that is the biggest problem, who knows what a girl who grew up there would turn out like. no one can live there with kids under 12. You have to leave if you are pregnant. Interesting ideas about economics, not convinced the size of the 'city' of Artemis works. It's the size of a big school (2000). Also I'm not a chemist but chloroform plays a part in the plot. Even in low gravity, wouldn't it be more concentrated in the lower levels? He makes a lot of the gravity in other sections, like how slowly dust settles, but it does eventually settle.

missed opportunities

A great story and presentation. I love the way Weir spins the story around the laws of physics and does not bend them to fit the story.

An excellent listen
