Artemis: Product Information Guide

A Novel by Philip Palmer

Introduction and Synopsis

"Artemis" by Philip Palmer is a compelling science fiction novel that introduces readers to Artemis McIvor, a complex and resourceful protagonist. The narrative unfolds in a universe where the galactic government has collapsed, presenting a challenging backdrop for Artemis's journey.

The central premise revolves around Artemis McIvor, a character defined by her past as a thief, con-artist, and killer. After years of evading capture, she is finally apprehended. Faced with the stark choice between perpetual imprisonment and joining a perilous mission, Artemis opts to align with a crew of criminals, murderers, and traitors. Their collective objective is to safeguard humanity from an overwhelming threat. This forced alliance compels Artemis to reconcile her true nature with the demands of becoming a "good guy," leading to a transformative and action-packed narrative.
