內容簡介

內容簡介 ★《紐約時報》暢銷書《火星任務》、電影《絕地救援》原著作者新作！★ 在帶領讀者領略火星的奇異之後，安迪．威爾全新月球犯罪驚悚科幻小說！★ 二十世紀福斯電影公司已買下電影版權！2080─2090年代，月球。二十多歲的年輕女子潔絲，住在月球唯一的殖民都市阿耳忒彌斯（Artemis），由肯亞太空公司所建立，人口僅2000人。除非是富裕的觀光客或億萬富翁，一般平民在月球的生活其實十分艱苦。潔絲擔任搬運工的薪水只能勉強負擔房租，更欠下債務，促使她不時從事非法走私活動，以賺取額外費用。然而，當她發現有個可以犯下完美犯罪的機會，再加上報酬豐厚，經濟吃緊的她無法拒絕，殊不知卻一腳踏入黑暗複雜的政治角力與陰謀論中……潔絲夢想著加入「艙外活動工會」，這麼一來，她就能得到更好的工作機會，像是帶領觀光客在月球表面進行參觀活動，也能繳清負債。但現在她只能靠著副業──在黑市走私粗糙便宜的商品給殖民地的居民，賺取額外收入。在她的常客中，富裕的商人特朗德向她提出了一樁有利可圖的交易：破壞自動月球採礦設備。潔絲同意了，但事情卻不如想像中順利，因為特朗德不久後竟遭謀殺！雪上加霜的是，她還被捲入巴西財團與革命性科技的陰謀論中，巴西的黑手黨家族竟派殺手到月球追殺她……潔絲該如何解決生死交關的危機呢？The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller—a heist story set on the moon.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. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions—not to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can’t handle, and she figures she’s got the ‘swagger’ part down. The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz’s problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself. Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit she’s in way over her head. 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. Propelled by its heroine’s wisecracking voice, set in a city that’s at once stunningly imagined and intimately familiar, and brimming over with clever problem-solving and heist-y fun, Artemis is another irresistible brew of science, suspense, and humor from #1 bestselling author Andy Weir.
