Artemis is the name of the Greek god of the moon and Artemis is also a science fiction book by Andy Weir who also wrote The Martian. Like The Martian, Artemis has a boat load of science and chemistry involved in the story. This author has a way of making technical science understandable. This story is set on the moon in the year 2080. The name of the city is Artemis. The main character is Jazz (short for Jasmine) Bashara who has lived in Artemis since she and her father moved from Saudi Arabia when she was five years old. Now she is an adult and is estranged from her father who is a welder. She barely makes ends meet working as a delivery person with some smuggling on the side. The story is action packed full of intrigue, crime, conspiracy and murder. The story was good but sometimes I thought the dialogue was unrealistic. This novel was voted the best science fiction of 2017.
