Publisher's summary

Thousands of years ago, fairies and humans fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. When it became clear that they could not win, all of the fairies moved below ground, except for the 8th Family, the demons. Rather than surrender, they used a magical time spell to take their colony out of time and into Limbo. There they have lived for decades, preparing to exact their violent revenge on humans.

Now the time spell is unraveling, and demons are beginning to materialize without warning on Earth. If humans were to find out about them, all fairies would be exposed. To protect themselves, the fairies must predict when the next demon will materialize. But in order to do so, they will have to decipher temporal equations so complicated that even a great brain like Foaly can't understand them. But he knows someone who can: Artemis Fowl.

So when a very confused demon imp appears in a Sicilian theater, Artemis is there to meet him. But he is not alone. There is someone else who has unlocked the secrets of the fairy world and managed to solve complex mathematical problems as only a genius could. And she is just 12 years old.

Listen to the entire Artemis Fowl series.

Artemis Does it Again!!

I have missed Artemis! The gang is all back in this installment of Artemis' adventures. With the added element of a girl interest for Artemis, we get to witness him growing up a bit and experience life out of his control. (Those dog-gone hormones do it everytime.)I hope there will be another "episode" in this line of novels. I enjoyed this one very much.

It is an excellent story

The story has entertained me sense childhood and the performance only enhanced the experience. The voices given to some characters are rather shrill.

A gem.

Every book in this series is an absolute masterpiece. I'm not sure what the author made for writing these, but I can tell you that it wasn't nearly enough.

The Lost Colony

Great book. I've really enjoyed the series. The narrator is fantastic with different ascents for each caricature. I'm not a child but love the story line, great fun. Always had a thing for the fairy people. (Must be the Irish in me). I wish they would make them into movies!

Love the Artemis Fowl series!

Love the Artemis Fowl series and Nathaniel Parker as a narrator. This ranks as one of my top three favorite books in the series.

perfect

the story was awesome, the narrator was on point. to be honest, this book is one of the best i ever bought.

Wonderful series for all ages

Vivacious, enchanting, enticing, interesting, alluring, compelling, curious, delightful, engaging, fascinating,impressive,
intriguing, need I say more ? I could !

Phenomenal book as always.

The book just continues to get better and better and makes you want to buy the next. Great job on producing such a master piece!

One Great Audiobook

The Artemis Fowl books are some of the best young adult books around. The narrator does an excellent job with the voices and that's probably why I like them so much.

I find the humor to be right on. It's sort of like the upcoming book, Paraworld Zero, in that the characters use magic to transport themselves to different dimensions.

Something new in this book was the demons. Quite a lot of characterization was done with Number One, which was just wonderful. However, since this is an Artemis Fowl book, I was slightly disappointed at how much the author strayed from Artemis in order to tell us about the other characters.

Highly Entertaining !!

After finishing the Harry Potter audiobook series (with the fantastic narration by Jim Dale), I was hoping to find anything as similarly engaging. While this series is not as deep or complex, its certainly fun, exciting and highly entertaining. The narration by Nathaniel Parker is outstanding. I was hooked into Mr. Colfer’s world and felt a pang when the 5th audiobook ended. However, unlike the HP series, there is more still more Artemis Fowl to come, and I greatly look forward to the forthcoming 6th installment!
