Product Description

Product Description

Someone has been supplying Class-A illegal human power sources to the goblins. Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit is sure that her arch-enemy, thirteen-year-old Artemis Fowl, is responsible. But is he? Artemis has his own problems to deal with: his father is being held to ransom and only a miracle will save him. Maybe this time a brilliant plan just won't be enough. Maybe this time Artemis needs help . . .


About the Author

Eoin Colfer was born and raised in Wexford in the south-east of Ireland. He began writing plays at an early age and, as an adult, continued to write. Artemis Fowl, his first book featuring the brilliant young anti-hero, was an immediate international bestseller and won several prestigious awards. Adapted by Andrew Donkin, an enormously experienced graphic novelist and the author of over forty books for adults and children, including Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight for DC Comics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Artemis Arctic Antics Are Ace!, 29 Sep 2009
By R. Fogelman (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Aside from being a long time fan of the original "Artemis Fowl" books, I was completely won over by the 2007 graphic novel and had hoped that Eoin Colfer and Andrew Donkin would be given the chance to work together again on further adaptations in the series. This follow up volume really takes things to the next level.

"The Arctic Incident" ups the level of action in terms of story and is superbly matched by Giovanni Rigano's epic art. Colfer/Donkin also make sure the humour is always on tap. Having established the characters in the first book, this time they build on their relationships. The spark between Artemis and Captain Holly Short is great fun and as Artemis predicts his own puberty in a mere eight months, I can't wait to see that spark ignite in further adventures.

The storyline marries a sinister plot to take over the Fairy's Haven City (and ultimately the world) with the realisation that Artemis's Father is very much alive and held captive in Murmansk, Russia. Russian Mafia desperados, who kill their captives regardless of any ransom being met, are holding him prisoner.

Some great new characters are added to the roster and we meet evil and beautiful genius Opal Koboi for the first time. Koboi has teamed with Briar Cudgeon, now on a personal vendetta against the LEPrecon Fairy Police's Commander Root.

In order to rescue his Father, Fowl must team up with the characters from the Fairy world and help them on a rescue mission. This quid pro quo set up really allows us to see a more human and vulnerable side to Artemis. His attraction to crime comes across as a means to an end and his "Holmes" like brilliance is now put to good use.

Colfer/Donkin are clearly having fun working on these books and I can't wait for the next one in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars They've done it again!, 7 Oct 2009
Artemis Fowl is a young ne'er do well and he's great. My son loves him and wants to be Butler (sometimes I get to be Juliet, but I'm not really allowed to have secret plans of my own...)

We thought the graphic novel of the first er, novel novel was great and this one rocks too. Somehow, this one seems a bit more grown up, maybe the humour is a bit more twisted and cheekier (or maybe I just read it more carefully having awaited its release). Artemis is growing up and becoming a bigger ne'er do well (with a heart!)

The art is superb, the whole thing looks great. I love the evil Opal Koboi and her swivelling chair. I love the action scenes and the snowy vistas. My son likes the bad guys best (naturally) whilst simultaneously wanting to dress like Artemis.

The characters are dynamic, the pacing is right and the whole thing works to make you want to read the next installment.

You can read this one without having read the first but you'd be mad not to get the first one too.
