Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony - by Eoin Colfer (Paperback)

About the Book

When demons begin appearing on Earth unpredictably, foreshadowing a cataclysmic breakdown of their magic, Artemis and his friends face a n foe--a twelve-year-old girl whose intellect just might match Artemis'sew own--as they try to prevent catastrophe.

Book Synopsis

The fifth book in Eoin Colfer's internationally bestselling series about a criminal mastermind and his siege against dangerous, tech-savvy fairies.

"The world that Colfer creates is as vivid and fantastical as any shire, gotham, or galaxy far, far away in recent memory."
―Entertainment Weekly

Demons are beginning to materialize without warning on Earth. If humans were to capture one, all fairies would be exposed. In order to protect themselves, the fairies must decipher complicated equations to determine where the next demon will appear. Not even the brilliant Foaly can make heads or tails of the formulas--but he knows someone who can: Artemis Fowl.

When a very confused demon imp appears in a Sicilian theater, Artemis is there to meet him. But he is not alone. Someone else has unlocked the secrets of the fairy world...and she is only twelve years old.

In a race against time, a newly reformed Artemis will have to dip into his bag of dirty tricks if he is to save his fairy friends from a power-hungry demon warlord who is poised to invade our dimension with his savage army.
