Journey to the Moon with this great new Sci-Fi adventure!
‘Artemis’ – Andy Weir
“Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself—and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.”
‘Artemis’ written by author Andy Weir, best know for his standout novel ‘The Martian,’ is an exciting fast thriller that transports readers to a unique and creative far distant future where mankind has colonised the moon. Entertaining and engaging, readers will thoroughly enjoy reading about the adventures of main protagonist Jasmine “Jazz” Bashara as she tries to make a life in a place where one wrong move could lead to death. The moon is a great setting for the novel, beautiful and deadly in equal measure, the author has created a wonderfully detailed and truly believable world. Although filled with serious science, the novel has a witty funny side as well, readers will find themselves laughing out loud as they follow the characters through their crazy escapades. ‘Artemis’ is great science fiction adventure that is bound to appeal not only to fans of science fiction but to many other readers as well!
Lots more exciting new novels have just arrived in the IRC! Make sure to check out the ‘New Books’ stand today!
