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.

Rezension von TomGing so. Der Marsianer hat mir deutlich besser gefallen.
Rezension von Katrine LatransI would say this book is 3.5⭐ for me. Fun adventure, high stakes, near death and a liiiittle romance. I never read The Martian, only watched the movie. Then i read Project Hail Mary and adored it. I decicded my nest sci-fi read will be one more book by Andy Weir and i really enjoyed it, but... I think i prefer the isolation factor like in Project Hail Mary. At least in Andy Weir books, because i did not yet read any other sci-fi. This book had a lot more characters in the actual moment of conclusion. Its not bad, i liked how they were all connected, but idk why i wanted less characters haha. Then the fact of the over-smart MC. I read some reviews on goodreads about Andy Weir's books, that his MC are overly smart, but i could explain Grace's smartness in several fields because <spoiler>he actually was a science teacher, that requires some more knowledge apart from his education in biology.</spoiler> But Jazz was said to be just naturally smart and i kind of disliked it... Maybe some people will like this pattern of MCs. Also idk why, but some tech explanations and action descriptions were very hard for me to understand in this particular book... What i did like was the hint for romance. I liked this male) So overall - its a good book to read, but did not emerge strong emotions from me personally. I was not very attached to the girl, but the read was rather entertaining and fun.
Rezension von LenaNach Project Hail Mary im Kino habe ich mehr von Andy Weir erwartet. Schön, mal eine Frau als Hauptcharakter in SciFi zu sehen. Aber man hat extrem gemerkt, dass sie von einem Mann geschrieben wurde. Der Auto hat sich an manchen Stellen ein bisschen zu witzig gefunden. Mit seinen Sprüchen bediente leider sehr viele Klischees. Die Geschichte war aber unterhaltsam und das World Building auch solide.
Rezension von Sarah StöckleAbsolutely ass, I wanted to write a rant review but I do not want to waste any more precious time on this train wreck of a book.
Rezension von Asif ChaudhariBook was kinda ok to read, took me long because there was not much to hold one's attention. A little disappointed cause the expectations where quite high after reading The Martians.
