If you loved Jazz’s relentless hustle to pull off a high-stakes heist on the Moon in Artemis, you’ll be hooked by Mark Watney’s desperate struggle to survive alone on Mars. Every chapter throws a new problem at him, and his ingenious, step-by-step solutions make for a nail-biting, mission-driven read.

Jazz Bashara’s snappy comebacks and irreverent attitude in Artemis are matched by Murderbot’s dry wit and hilarious observations. You’ll love following Murderbot as it tries (and often fails) to avoid human interaction while saving its team from danger, all with a healthy dose of sarcasm.

If you were fascinated by the technical details of lunar life and the realistic depiction of Artemis’s infrastructure, Red Mars will immerse you even deeper. It offers a richly imagined, scientifically plausible vision of Mars colonization, complete with engineering challenges, political maneuvering, and social dynamics.

Much like Jazz in Artemis, Sanda Greeve is a tough, resourceful woman forced to make questionable choices to survive. As she wakes up on an abandoned enemy ship and unravels a galaxy-spanning conspiracy, you’ll be drawn to her cleverness and the ethical ambiguities she faces.

If you admired Jazz’s determination and resilience as she navigated the complexities of Artemis’s society, you’ll be captivated by Alderman’s fierce female characters discovering their power and reshaping the world. The story’s bold women and their personal journeys make for a riveting and thought-provoking read.
