Artemis by Andy Weir

Artemis by Andy Weir - 305 pages

This new novel from the author of the bestseller The Martian doesn't disappoint.  Jasmine Bashara is living on the Moon city of Artemis and trying to scrape by and stay under the radar with her smuggling side hustle.  A wealth client offers her the opportunity of a lifetime in return for executing a very dangerous bit of sabotage on a competitor.  The intrigue gets even deeper involving murder and corporate espionage.  Plus its all happening on the Moon! 

Weir continues to use real science to back up his "science fiction" so the world he builds comes across as eminently plausible.  Plus the very true to life characters draw you in and make you root for them to succeed even if what they are doing is technically a crime.
