Andy Weir's near-future, fast paced thriller, Artemis performed by the inimitable Rosario Dawson is now exclusively available for pre-order at set to release next week on Nov.Rosario Isabel Dawson (born May 9, 1979) is an American actress, producer, singer, comic book writer, and political activist. 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 her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Life on Artemis is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. The lead character, Jasmine Bashara, aka Jazz, is just another too-smart, devil-may-care twentysomething chafing at the constraints of her small town and dreaming of a better life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon. Synopsis: Artemis is a crime caper that features smart, detailed world-building based on real science.

Dawson sits down to talk about the book in a behind-the-scenes video below. To go with the novel's release is an Audible Studios recording with fan-favorite actress Rosario Dawson narrating.
