Book excerpt: The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller—a heist story set on the moon. Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions—not to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can’t handle, and she figures she’s got the ‘swagger’ part down. The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz’s problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself. Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit she’s in way over her head. She’ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city. Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal. That’ll have to do. Propelled by its heroine’s wisecracking voice, set in a city that’s at once stunningly imagined and intimately familiar, and brimming over with clever problem-solving and heist-y fun, Artemis is another irresistible brew of science, suspense, and humor from #1 bestselling author Andy Weir.

This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..." (Hosea 4:6). A lot of times, there are certain predicaments or situations that occur in one's life that cannot be explained. What makes the situation worse is that this issue is not peculiar to that one person; it has been ongoing from one generation to another. Many times, believers find themselves caught in a cycle of unexplainable predicaments and tend to take it for granted, believing that it is normal. And because they are not knowledgeable about the subject of curses, these predicaments go on, making life a living hell for them. This book is an in-depth study on the subject of "curses" with emphasis on "hidden curses." With a lot of spiritual and prophetic insights, as well as scriptural and practical references, this book reveals what curses are, the different types of curses, how curses operate in one's life, and how a person can overcome and be totally delivered from any existing curse in his/her life. There are also prayers and scriptural declarations to reverse and cancel all curses. Dear brethren, if you have noticed any reoccurring pattern that leads to all kinds of vices in your life, then you must read this book, and the Almighty God will grant you complete victory and deliverance in Jesus's name.
