In the last few years, American author Andy Weir has been thrilling readers with exciting adventures beyond the planet Earth. His 2011 debut novel The Martian, the harrowing story of an astronaut stranded on Mars, was turned into a critically-acclaimed blockbuster movie in 2015, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon.

In 2017, Weir returned to the spotlight with his second book Artemis, which took place on a city on the Moon.
