Publisher's Summary
The best-selling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller - a heist story set on the moon.
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.
Bringing to life Weir's brash, whip-smart protagonist is actress Rosario Dawson (Marvel's The Defenders, Sin City, Death Proof). With the breathless immediacy of one realizing they're one cracked helmet visor away from oblivion, Dawson deftly captures Jazz's first-person perspective – all while delivering sarcastic Weir-ian one-liners and cracking wise in the face of death. And with a cast of diverse characters from all walks of life calling Artemis home, Dawson tonally somersaults to voice Kenyan prime ministers, Ukrainian scientists, and Saudi welders. It's a performance that transports listeners right alongside Jazz, matching her step for step on every lunar inch of her pulse-pounding journey.
Critic Reviews
"An exciting, whip-smart, funny thrill-ride…. one of the best science fiction novels of the year." (Booklist)
"Narrated by a kick-ass leading lady, this thriller has it all – a smart plot, laugh-out-loud funny moments, and really cool science." (Library Journal)
"[A] superior near-future thriller.... Weir leavens the hard SF with a healthy dose of humor." (Publishers Weekly)
"[Narrator Rosario] Dawson makes Jasmine sound like the lovable rogue she is.... Dawson makes listeners care about a diverse cast of characters with quirky mannerisms." (AudioFile)

Excellent!
Great story that kept me intrigued from start to finish. Rosario Dawson does an amazing job bringing the characters to life with unique voices/accents making it easy to tell them apart.
Highly recommended.

it's ok, I'll leave it at that
The idea of people living on the moon is cool, but I still don't understand the reason for her actions. This book needed at least 3-4 more chapters to make it a worthwhile ending

Great story but bad narration
Actually read this book on a long plane trip and really enjoyed it. I loved the protagonist and enjoy the heist adventure on the moon. But the narrator of this audiobook, a popular actress, just doesn't have the right skillset to pull it off. I found her narration to be very inconsistent.
