Artemisa es la esperada nueva novela del autor de El marciano, el libro que ha abierto la ciencia ficción al gran público, convirtiéndose en un fenómeno editorial en 40 países con más de 3.000.000 de ejemplares vendidos, y una película de gran presupuesto: Marte de Ridey Scott, con Matt Damon como protagonista. Jazz Bashara es una criminal... O al menos lo parece. La vida en Artemisa, la primera y única ciudad de la Luna, es difícil si no eres un turista adinerado o un multimillonario excéntrico. Así que hacer un poco de contrabando de lo más inofensivo no cuenta, ¿verdad? Sobre todo cuando hay que pagar deudas y tu trabajo como transportista apenas paga el alquiler. De pronto, Jazz ve la oportunidad de cambiar su destino cometiendo un delito a cambio de una lucrativa recompensa. Y ahí empiezan todos sus problemas, pues al hacerlo se enreda en una auténtica conspiración por el control de Artemisa que le obliga a poner en peligro su propia vida... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future 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 smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your 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 her problems, as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself--and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.
