Publisher's summary

Artemis Fowl, say hello to Artemis Fowl.

When Artemis Fowl’s mother contracts a life-threatening illness, his world is turned upside down. The only hope for a cure lies in the brain fluid of the silky sifaka lemur. Unfortunately, the animal is extinct, thanks to the money-hungry deeds of a younger Artemis.

Though the odds are stacked against him, Artemis is not willing to give up. With the help of his fairy friends, the young genius travels back in time to save the lemur and bring it to the present. But to do so, Artemis will have to defeat a maniacal poacher, who has set his sights on new prey: Holly Short. The rules of time travel are far from simple, but to save his mother, Artemis will have to break them all...and outsmart his most cunning adversary yet: Artemis Fowl, age 10.

Listen to the entire Artemis Fowl series.

AWESOME, AMAZING, EPIC MUST READ SERIES!

This was an AWESOME, AMAZING and EPIC book. It keeps one engaged and wanting to know what happens next in the story. And you will want to continue with the next book in the series right away! I highly recommend it! Well worth the read!

Colfer+Parker=winning

Good for families. Nathaniel Parker makes it over the top. Colfer’s characters are likeable, very engaging overall

splendid!! thank you for going the xtra mile!!!

audible, you rock!! I purchased this book knowing it was read by eoin reitel it was okay but I was like everyone else by being spoiled by the most excellent narration by nathaniel parker.
now all my characters speak the way my mind sees them again...and...I requested that audible make the change, your customer service rocks, there were a few brambles (some caused by me amazingly enough), however I am currently listening to the book once again...I feel warm and fuzzy, foley the centaur has his rather thick cockney accent once again, the world is turning in the right direction...my daughter will also love this too and she will just love listening to this over and over again just like all the other versions.
This was a fine story, we (my daughter and I) just love this series and we are simply giddy with excitement for book #7 to make it to your library.

Clever ... but almost too clever...

This book takes the well loved characters and puts them in a situation where they don't have access to most of their usual arsenal of fairy devices to help them out, forcing them to have to rely on their wits instead. It's difficult to explain without any spoilers, but it felt at times as if the author was trying a little too hard to make the story clever to make up for the lack of gadgets, or just for the sake of being clever. Also, for the first time there was a proper cliff hanger at the end, there are always threads that carry over, but never such an obvious cliff hanger before. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, just unexpected. However I enjoyed the story, and it certainly kept you guessing, right up until the end. A couple of the twists I worked out well before the reveal, but just as many twists were red herrings. I'm looking forward to the next and last? book in the series.

Nathaniel Parker's narration was, as ever, fantastic, I can't imagine anyone else reading Artemis stories and voicing the characters.

great series

I love these books I listen to them on Audible and absolutely love the narrator. I eagerly await the feature film

Good

Another fun story of Artemis Fowl. Not the most fantastic of the series, it does keep the characters we know and love as whimsical as ever. However what does make this story less as impactful is that it feels like it makes no real dent in the journey of Artemis Fowl. It feels like filler. But that doesn't mean it's not worth a listen.

Good story and outstanding performance.

The story was entertaining. Near the end I felt a little dizzy trying to follow the results of the time travel. The performance by Nathaniel Parker is outstanding.

One of the best books of all time

I loved the story and other books in the collection, I recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy sci-fi

An interesting story

Would you consider the audio edition of The Time Paradox to be better than the print version?

There is little difference since I listen to the unabridged versions. The benefit is the voices provided by Nathaniel. I don't have to provide them,

What other book might you compare The Time Paradox to and why?

It's a time travel book. It was a little confusing going back and forth.

What does Nathaniel Parker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Nathaniel brings the voices of the characters. His voices help me keep track of who's speaking so I don't have to think about it. It. like listening to a movie. A good narrator is very important. Nathaniel does a good job.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The Present vs. the Past for the Future
