Welcome to Artemis, first and only city on the moon and home to Jazz Bashara, a witty, multi-talented underachiever who is about to make the move from small-time smuggler to high stakes corporate sabotage.  For Jazz, it's all about the money. She'd love to be able to afford a place with its own bathroom.  But Artemis is a small town and when everybody knows you and there are cameras everywhere, it can be hard to fly under the radar.  When best-laid plans go awry and people start turning up dead, Jazz uncovers a conspiracy that threatens not just her, but all of Artemis.  Can Jazz save her city before the killer catches up to her or the law deports her back to Earth?  Andy Weir does it again.  Here's a story brimming with science that's also just a rip-roaring adventure.  Even though some of the technical stuff was over my head, (okay, a lot of it), I couldn't stop reading.  Jazz is a wise-cracking heroine for the ages and someone who never read much sci-fi has a new favorite author.
