Elegant and witty. Fans of The Crown will enjoy this playful novel

Brilliantly entertaining

A master of high-class crime fiction, literary noir in the tradition of Georges Simenon and Raymond Chandler

This is one thriller to read and savor

Weir's great skill, as he already proved with The Martian, is his attention to detail. Artemis is a triumph of imagination

Artemis is more than just a sci-fi caper; it’s also an insight into how humans could exist on the moon — and in space.

Andy Weir is back. His second sci-fi novel, Artemis is an action-packed techno-thriller of the first order.

Jazz Bashara makes for an intriguing protagonist and Artemis is a smart and sharp novel. A sci-fi crowd pleaser made for the big screen

Weir plausibly depicts near-future colonization technology, and showcases the opportunists and laborers who eke out a living in this expensive, precarious habitat.

This exciting, whip-smart thrill-ride boasts a wonderful cast of characters, a wide cultural milieu and the appeal of a striking young woman as the main character...one of the best science fiction novels of the year!

It’s a great read, as much of a page-turner as The Martian was... the characters are engaging, the setting understandable and the pace begins fast and continues throughout to the end.

A fast-moving heist set on the Moon

Artemis is a fantastic view into what it would be like to live and work on the lunar landscape, wrapped up in smart and gripping novel. A must-read for any future lunar dwellers.

Artemis is the book that proves Weir is the heir to the mantle of classic science fiction master. An addictive, fast-paced read, perfect for a long journey or a bit of daily escapism. If you're after a moon adventure...book a flight to Artemis today.

Narrated by a kick-ass leading lady, this thriller has it all – a smart plot, laugh-out-loud funny moments, and really cool science. A four-star read

A superior near-future thriller...the sophisticated world building incorporates politics and economics, as well as scientifically plausible ways for a small city to function on the lunar surface. The independent, wisecracking lead could easily sustain a series. Weir leavens the hard SF with a healthy dose of humour.

Revitalizes the Lunar-colony scenario, with the author’s characteristic blend of engineering know-how and survival suspense...Jazz is a great heroine, tough with a soft core, crooked with inner honesty

Artemis stands on its own as an enjoyable thriller...especially as tension mounts towards the end. It's an easy read, and Weir's introduction of plenty of thought-through science and engineering makes it a pleasure for those who like their science fiction as close as possible to physical reality

Weir's action-packed second novel stars tough antihero Jasmine (Jazz) Bashara and offers a gratifyingly thrilling plot (two words: moon heist) while providing enough hard science that you'll finish the book feeling like an expert in metallurgy, lunar surface exploration and the limitations of EVA suits

Out-of-this-world storytelling

a breezy, propulsive read…Weir has set an action-adventure in space, where a resourceful protagonist improvises scientific solutions to escalating dangers

Andy Weir does for the Moon in Artemis what he did for Mars in The Martian – that is, he incorporates a solid mix of known technology and science with a bit of tech-fiction to further enhance a great story. In this case…it’s a great caper.

An entertaining read for space geeks, and a strong follow-up to The Martian.

A hit like The Martian is hard to follow-up, but it seems Andy Weir has no trouble keeping the good ideas coming, producing another yet novel with realistic hard science and entertaining adventure…a speculative genre that blends thrilling adventure and fun with realistic and believable science… The action crescendos and doesn’t stop until we reach a boiling point in the climax, giving rise to some of the most intense chapters I’ve ever read, with the added bonus of making you want to fistpump the air yelling, ‘GO SCIENCE!’

[A] riveting space adventure…grounded in science, but…wrapped around the tale of a crime and set at the first and only city on the moon

Weir has done so much research and put so much thought into his new story, he makes what’s currently impossible sound possible

Set in Artemis, a city on the moon, this thriller by the author of The Martian features a young woman caught in a high-stakes criminal plot. Plus fun science-based details of moon-living logistics

A fun page-turner which should appeal to fans of sci-fi, not to mention anyone who digs a good caper

Richly detailed

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

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

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

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