Andy Weir's first book, "The Martian" (which I reviewed in this post) was awesome. I gave it five stars on Goodreads, something I rarely do. When I saw that Weir had written another book - "Artemis" - I was excited.
"Artemis" takes place on a moon base at some unspecified future date. It follows a smuggler who lives in Artemis and smuggles things like cigars and exotic foods onto the base. Along the way we learn about the corruption and organized crime in Artemis.
It's a good book. There are interesting characters and some interesting science. The science is not as 'dense' as that of "The Martian". I expected a bit more. It was good ... But it did not live up to his first book. I expected more. I feel sorry for Weir. It will be hard to live up to his first book.
I gave this book four stars out of five on Goodreads for being good enough ...almost.
