Recommended for Andy Weir fans
Recommended for Fans of "The Martian"
I became a fan of Andy Weir's in that period between when he published the "The Martian" and before Hollywood made the movie. So, I was curious about what he would do with his second outing. I would put this book (2017), "The Martian (2011)," and another, "Project Hail Mary (2021)" in the generalized genre of Michael Crichton's near future science possibility; science fiction novels that are known for their scientific accuracy and their ability to blend fiction with non-fiction.
The book is set on “Artemis,” a five-dome moonbase, servicing industry and tourism in the late 2080s. It follows the life of porter and smuggler Jasmine "Jazz" Bashara as she gets caught up in a conspiracy for control of the city. It's a thriller with chase scenes and Rube Goldberg heist operations set against how difficult all that is on the moon.
I had fun with it.
