The entire premise of Artemis just really sucked lol

I think the premise of a moon heist murder-mystery sprinkled with espionage is awesome. The character development is what was lacking.

There was just too many "Josh Wheton-esq" quips during heightened tension scenes that really undercut the sincerity of the story. The overall plot really suffered because of that.

I know he wrote a novella called Randomize. Hell, I know he even wrote a book a long time ago called "Theft of Pride" under the pen name Jack Sharp. It was never published though. You can only download the 243K file and read it on your eReader/computer. When I have time I'll tackle those 2 stories and see where Artemis truly ranks, LOL

So far I would say from best to worst is:

  1. Project Hail Mary

  2. The Martian

  3. Artemis

  4. The short story: The Egg

I won't stand for this The Egg erasure.

Hey, I didn't say the Egg was bad! Remember, I liked Artemis. They are all good stories, LOL

Seeing as we're actually the same person in different parts of our journey, I forgive you 😇
