Beneath the Skin

***Special anniversary edition, with a new introduction by A. J. Finn***

Someone's watching you. You don't know who. But he knows you . . .

Zoe, Jennifer and Nadia are three women with nothing in common. Except for the man who wants to kill them. He sends them terrifying letters - promising to bring their lives to a violent, horrible end. But not before he has enjoyed himself.

He delights in watching the women suffer, thrilled by his power to leave them utterly helpless, alone and in terror. Except they're not all as helpless as he thinks . . .

'Nicci French represent psychological suspense at its most searching and incisive' A. J. Finn, internationally No. 1 Bestselling Author of The Woman In The Window

a lively read that combines some of The Martian’s space-science themes with elements of political intrigue, heist plotting, a dash of neo-noir, and…the economic implications of lunar colonization—all with some comedy throughout

—— TWINCITIESGEEK.COM

After managing to bring hard, accurate science to the masses with The Martian, Andy Weir cuts loose with a lunar-set heist caper that should both please those who enjoy his attention and those who fell for his obvious ability to spin an entertaining yarn. The city of Artemis is meticulously constructed...it's a living, breathing place that's fun to explore and Jazz makes for an excellent guide. A SF thriller that wants you to have fun and it delivers

—— SCI FI NOW (Must Read Now)

Weir has written yet another clever and action-fuelled story packed with the author's trademark wry humour and fast-paced science. Artemis is pure entertainment - a fun and adventurous book brimming with wit, intelligence and ingenuity

—— CULTUREFLY

Weir excels when it comes to geeky references, snarky humour and scenes of ingenious scientific problem-solving
