This is the second book in the series.
Artemis is at boarding school in Ireland when he receives an urgent email from Russia. In it is a plea from a man who has been kidnapped by the Russian Mafia: his father. As Artemis rushes to his rescue, he is stopped by a familiar nemesis, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police. But this time, instead of battling the fairies, he is going to have to join forces with them if he wants to save one of the few people in the world he loves.
For fans of J.R.R.Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, and Philip Pullman, Artemis Fowl is a high-tech fantasy, mixing faries, leprechauns, and computers, in a brilliant, thrilling story that is destined to become a cult favorite.
This book has won the Book Magazine Best Book of the Year 2002.
Eoin Colfer's first novel, Benny and Omar, was an instant bestseller in Ireland where he lives, and Artemis Fowl, his first book featuring the brilliant young anti-hero, was an immediate international bestseller.
