— and when Artemis focusing on pure problem solving it’s plenty entertaining. Sadly, in his second commercial book, Andy Weir doesn’t stretch, or even try to.

After writing a technically accurate, hands-on, credible technology story on Mars, he now does very much the same on the Moon. Andy Weir, now in his mid-forties, had a dream-like success with his first novel, The Martian. • Artemis is published by Del Rey. But it’s very much in the same lane as the Martian, except with more characters. Full of personality and geek-out moments, it may not be for everyone, but even if you're just 10% into science you're going to love this book. There’s a lot to like about Weir’s second novel, and plenty of signs that he can turn out more fun, exciting novels like The Martian, but Artemis is more promise than delivery. It is credible, the story itself is fairly sound, and the characters are engaging. Weir’s strengths seem to lie in caper novels — The Martian was basically one long escape caper, right? Like Weir's last blockbuster novel, Artemis is essentially a science textbook hidden within an enthralling sci-fi adventure. Free UK p&p over £10, online orders only.
