Product Description

Product Description
Ten millennia ago, the fairy people were defeated in a great battle with mankind, forcing them to move underground. Only the 8th family of fairies remained undefeated: the demons. But now one demon has discovered the secrets of the fairy world, and if humans get hold of this information, the fairies are in big trouble. Only one person can prevent this disaster - teenage criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl.

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 young anti-hero, was an immediate international bestseller and won several prestigious awards. It was followed by THE ARCTIC INCIDENT, THE ETERNITY CODE and THE OPAL DECEPTION - all huge worldwide bestsellers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best one yet!, 2 Sep 2006
By Shawn Watson "God of Gods" (Badger's Brook, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Averaging one a year, Eion Colfer's Artemis Fowl series is no rush-job, I am increasingly enjoying and looking forward to every entry more than the Harry Potter series. Colfer's magical world just seems more accessible and imaginative. And he is constantly changing the type of story rather than just another labored part of a single massive arc.

Slightly longer this time around, the book has Artemis tracking demon activity on the time-displaced island of Hybras. The time spell which keeps Hybras stuck in oblivion is beginning to unravel and Artemis is busy investigating how to fix it when a 12-year-old French female rival (and love interest) kidnaps an insecure, classically educated demon, just as he manifests on Earth, right under Artemis' nose. Not knowing what trouble she has started, Artemis must break into her chatau, travel to Taiwan and match wits with her psychotic security in the Taipei 101 Tower to get the demon back before travelling to Hybras to fix the time spell with Captain Holly in tow.

I especially like the relationship between Artemis and Holly. Once enemies but now close friends. And the ending, not only including an imaginative and pretty damn cool twist, in which they become a part of each other forever (not giving anything away) was a nice touch.

As usual it's packed with ultra-technology that always seems realistic now matter how far-fetched, the typical amount of globe-trotting and the right amount of humor.

Artemis Fowl is definitely the best fantasy boy-hero. Harry Who?

5.0 out of 5 stars Can Artemis save the world again, 30 Jul 2006
By Simon Kebble "atuinsrk" (Filtwick, Bedford) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I saw this book splashed all over a table in a local bookstore and had to buy it - I didn't bother looking at the sleeve notes as any Artemis Fowl story is loaded with action from humans and fairies alike. Another rollercoaster ride for the Irish genius - dealing with another child prodigy, a new race of the people and battling with puberty. Has Artie met his match? Eoin Colfer does it again - and as an adult who finds it difficult to understand grown up books it gives me a chance to be whisked away into a new reality, like "the Discworld" or "the Edge". The plot twists and turns as Artemis thinks on his feet to avoid another disaster - with the aid of Butler, Holly and Mulch along with some new characters.

Keep up the good work Eoin

5.0 out of 5 stars Artemis is BACK!!!, 14 Oct 2006
By Kelly Blandford "Kelly" (Loughborough, England) - See all my reviews

Artemis Fowl is the criminal mastermind of the century! And he's still in his teens! But what happens when another young genius comes along, who doesn't yet know the rules!

The latest adventure where Artemis is not just fighting to save this world, but another - a demon land! Can Artemis still cope under the pressure??

Magic! Demons! Elves! Dwarfs! Bodyguards! and Artemis! -----> Here we go again!!!
