Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich.

Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time.

So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. But engineering the perfect crime is just the start of her problems—because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis herself.

Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, she’ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city.

Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal.

That’ll have to do.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the renowned author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian comes a “propulsive” (NPR) tale of science, suspense, and humor—a heist story set on the moon.

“An action-packed techno-thriller of the first order.”—USA Today

Dear #bookstodon-friends, I've been thinking about doing some sharepic-style mini-reviews of books (mostly #horror/ #suspense/ #litfic) that I've been reading - I tried by best with the tools available on my phone and this is the result. Pretty enough? Sufficient info? Anything else I should/could add? #frauenlesen #iamreading @bookstodon

A picture of the book "Thin Air" by Michelle Paver. The info next to it reads: 1935. A group of British mountaineers wants to be the first to reach the summit of the deadly Kangchenjunga. But ahead lies more than ice and avalanches - a dark secret waits to be uncovered. It may become their undoing.
3 and a half stars.
