After The Martian, I had seriously high expectations for Artemis. Weir did not disappoint.
I could not put this down!
Jasmine is a lower-class citizen on the moon colony Artemis. Working as a porter in the delivery system, she has a substantial side business in smuggling. When a lucrative, but dangerous, side job comes up, she jumps on it, hoping to pay off a long-standing debt and get out of the slums. I don't want to spoil too much here because this is a total thriller!
What is really amazing about Weir's writing is that if you didn't know moon colonization hasn't happened yet, you'd believe this story was possible. You really feel immersed in a landscape humans haven't been to in a very long time.
