She successfully sabotages one, but is spotted by the camera of another.

The next day, while an electronic device created by her scientist friend Martin Svoboda makes it seem as though she is in her living quarters, Jazz treks across the moon's surface to where the harvesters are collecting ore. She visits the Apollo 11 landing site disguised as a tourist, leaving the HIB in place outside the airlock so that it can open the hatch for her without the assistance of a human EVA master. Jazz borrows some welding equipment from her estranged father Ammar, and a small robot called a HIB from a business associate of his. Trond asks Jazz to sabotage the company's anorthite harvesters so he can step in with his own, and when he offers her a life-changing sum of money to carry out the criminal activity, Jazz accepts. Trond intends to take over Sanchez Aluminum, which currently enjoys a lucrative permanent contract with the city for free energy in exchange for providing the city's entire oxygen supply as a by-product from aluminum production. While meeting with Trond, Jazz briefly encounters an associate of his named Jin Chu who attempts to conceal a case marked with the name ZAFO. In Artemis, the first city on the Moon, porter and part-time smuggler Jasmine 'Jazz' Bashara is offered an opportunity by a regular client, wealthy businessman Trond Landvik, to assist him with a new business venture. The audiobook edition (published by ) is narrated by Rosario Dawson.

It follows the life of porter and smuggler Jasmine 'Jazz' Bashara as she gets caught up in a conspiracy for control of the city. It takes place in the late 2080s in Artemis, the first and so far only city on the Moon.
