Simon welcomes author Andy Weir to the first Radio 2 Book Club of 2018 to discuss Artemis.
This is a smart high-concept thriller about a heist set on the moon.
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Life in the lunar city of Artemis is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, not when you've got debts and rent to pay.
But everything changes when Jazz is offered a score too lucrative to turn down - if she can plan the perfect crime - and survive it. And in a city on the moon, there's only one rule for criminals: don't get caught.
We'll be discussing Andy's new book and finding out what our listeners thought.
