Artemis - Andy Weir

Specifikacia Artemis - Andy Weir

The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller a heist story set on the moon.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. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions not to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can t handle, and she figures she s got the swagger part down.   The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz s problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself.   Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit she s in way over her head. 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.   Propelled by its heroine s wisecracking voice, set in a city that s at once stunningly imagined and intimately familiar, and brimming over with clever problem-solving and heist-y fun, Artemis is another irresistible brew of science, suspense, and humor from #1 bestselling author Andy Weir.
