Artemis by Andy Weir – Suspense in Space

Artemis by Andy Weir – Suspense in Space

It’s really impossible not to make comparisons between Andy Weir’s new novel, Artemis, and his prior blockbuster, The Martian. The protagonist here lacks the hero quality of The Martian‘s Watney but possesses his brilliance and humor.

Jazz is the genius that could have done anything, but refused. Instead of an extreme tale of survival, there’s an extreme caper gone horribly awry. The plot is even more tightly crafted and accelerates to a breakneck speed. Weir appears to be creating a whole new fiction genre, the believable and scientifically sound sci-fi thriller. It wasn’t a genre I was aware that we needed; but having had a two tastes, I now need more.

Prepare for the Apoc-Eclipse!

Want to have extra books and movies on hand so you can relax at home, but worried about needing to return them during the chaos?

As a courtesy to our patrons, no items will be due August 16th through 28th.

Check out what you need now and don’t worry about needing to return them until after the crowds go home.  (One week items – like DVDs – checked out prior to August 9 will still be due before the eclipse.)

Also, we will be closed Saturday, August 19th, and Monday, August 21st.
