More about the book
The best-selling author of The Martian delivers an engaging near-future thriller set on the moon, featuring Jazz Bashara, a self-proclaimed criminal navigating life in Artemis, the first city on the moon. Struggling to make ends meet as a porter while dealing with mounting debts, Jazz resorts to smuggling harmless contraband. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she spots an opportunity for a perfect crime with a tempting reward. However, executing this heist thrusts her into a conspiracy for control of Artemis, forcing her to confront even greater dangers. The story is brought to life by actress Rosario Dawson, who captures Jazz's sharp wit and brash personality with skill. Dawson's performance immerses listeners in Jazz's first-person perspective, delivering Weir's signature sarcastic humor and clever one-liners, all while facing life-threatening situations. The diverse cast of characters, including Kenyan prime ministers, Ukrainian scientists, and Saudi welders, adds depth to the narrative. Dawson's dynamic voice work enhances the thrilling experience, allowing listeners to accompany Jazz on her heart-pounding lunar adventure.
