And it ’s about Moon crimes .
Crown Publishing announced Monday that Andy Weir ’s newfangled book is called Artemis and it ’ll be free on November 14 . Andy Weir is well love for The Martian , his online book that became a best - seller and then an Oscar - nominated moving-picture show directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon . This latest book will once again take place in distance , but a little closer to home , and with a whole new angle .
We alreadyknew a bit about the premisebut , with the official announcement , comes more prescribed details :
An adrenaline - saddle crime caper that features smart , detailed world - building based on real scientific discipline and the magic spell that makes Weir ’s writing so irresistible , Artemis introduces a protagonist every minute as memorable as The Martian ’s Mark Watney : Jasmine Bashara , aka Jazz . malarkey is just another too - impudent , directionless twentysomething , chafing at the restraint of her low townsfolk and dreaming of a better life . Except the small townspeople happens to be named Artemis — and it ’s the first and only city on the moon .
liveliness on Artemis is tough if you ’re not a fat tourist or an off-the-wall billionaire , and malarkey is decidedly not a extremity of either family . She ’s got debts to ante up , her line of work as a porter’s beer barely cover the rent , and her budding career as a smuggler is n’t exactly setting her up as a kingpin , much to her disappointment . So when the chance at a spirit - changing mark drops in her lap , Jazz ca n’t say no , even though she ’s certain there ’s more to the frame-up than converge the centre . And indeed , pull off the perfect crime is just the first of Jazz ’s trouble as she rule herself in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself .
Here ’s the cover of the book too .
In an interview withNerdist , Weir explain that he did just as much research for Artemis as he did on how a person could outlive on Mars . However , this fourth dimension it was about what a Moon dependency would be . And though most of the scientifically exact research wo n’t make it into the leger , that ’s just how he like to do it .
20th Century Fox , who produced and released The Martian , already owns the rights to Artemis so require to see that pic in the total yr as well .
