Now in paperback, the bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new science fiction 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 surely smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts. Not when she's got debts to pay and her 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 Jazz's problems as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy that will decide the future of Artemis itself--and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a scheme even more unlikely than the first.
