Artemis

Artemis / Andy Weir, 304 pgs.

Jazz Bashara is a porter on the moon.  She also has a pretty robust smuggling business that supplements her meager income.  A resident of the moon city Artemis since age six, she has very little memory of her life on earth.  Her father is a respected welder and sometimes critic of Jazz's rebellious life and attitude. When Jazz gets mixed up in a plan to force the sale of a aluminum mining operation, things go south and her big payday ends with a murder.  Jazz is now on the run and trying to figure out how to make things right.  With a stable of interesting friends and a deep understanding of the things that make living on the moon a bit different, this modern day heroine is fun to get to know.  Laced with physics lessons and engineering details, fans of Weir's earlier book will find this similarly engaging.
