Publisher Description
Philip Palmer, the best-selling author of Hell Ship, crafts science fiction works that have earned him a reputation as one of the best in the business. In Artemis, con artist and killer Artemis McIvor took the collapse of the galactic government as the opportunity to go on a crime spree to end all crime sprees. But when the law finally catches up to her, she's given a choice: spend the rest of her life cooling her heels in prison or accept a deadly mission to save all of humanity.

"I loved this book. I read a review that called it Tarantinoesque. The closest novel I have read to Tarantino."

Artemis Listener Reviews
-
" Tongue-in-cheek splatterpunk space opera with a serial revenge plot holding it together (think Kill Bill or Best Served Cold) but also plenty of detours and fake-outs. A brisk read in spite of its length. "

" Classic Philip Palmer! Awesome read. "
