The fourth book, Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deceptioncovers power-hungry and insane pixie Opal Koboi 's second attempt at world domination, after her first unfruitful attempt in the second novel. Koboi uses magic to persuade Giovanni Zito, a fictional environmentalist, to send a probe into the ground, which could lead to the uncovering of the fairy world, thrusting the fairy city of Haven into human clutches. In the process of stopping her, Commander Root is killed and the mind-wiped Artemis and Butler are saved from her bio-bomb. Foaly tells them after the Battle of Taillte, the war for land against fairy and human, the demon fairy family sent themselves out of time on the island Hydras, and that on their island their time can be anything on ours. The time spell is crumbling, and demons are appearing on earth without warning. If the humans discover the demons, they will inevitably uncover the rest of the fairies. She eventually lets go of her project and joins them after Billy Kong, her security guard, "opens the Trojan Horse", also known as revealing the traitors he planted at the Paradise Chateau. Artemis and Minerva are now noted to be very close in age. The book ends with Holly finding out that Mulch has recruited Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony Day, and Artemis finds out that he is the brother of toddlers. Artemis's mother, Angeline Fowl, becomes ill with Spelltropy, and the only cure lies in the brain fluids of the Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony sifaka lemur, the last of which Artemis sold to a group named the Extinctionists when he was 10 to procure money to fund the expedition to search for his father. Things get more complicated when Opal Koboi is revealed to Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony controlling the Extinctionists, feeding on the fluids of many extremely rare animals, to grant her special abilities and extraordinary prowess in certain fields. The chase finally leads to Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony two Artemises reaching an agreement, whereupon they are teleported to the future. Near to the ending, Opal is revealed to have possessed Angeline Fowl. Artemis contracts Atlantis Complex, a fairy condition resembling a combination of obsessive-compulsive disorder, extreme paranoia, and multiple personality disorder — becoming the alter ego of Fowl, Orion, when the latter strikes. In the end, Leonor and Turnball are killed in an explosion of a shuttle Leonor drives, to fulfill her last wish — to fly once again — and Artemis is sent to a fairy clinic to be cured of Atlantis Complex. The final book of the original series, Artemis Fowl and the Last Guardianwas released on 10 July Artemis, after his last session of being cured of Atlantis Complex, rushes to stop her along with Holly and Butler. They fail, and Opal opens the first gate, which releases the spirits of the warriors who begin to possess other people and animals around them, including corpses, animals, Juliet Butler, and Artemis's toddler brothers, Myles and Beckett. After escaping Opal Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony the possessed beings, they are helped by Mulch Diggums, and they attempt to stop Opal from opening the second gate, which destroys every human on the surface. While doing so, they reluctantly battle Artemis's possessed toddler brother Myles, who reveals to them Opal's plan after the fairy warrior spirit left his body. While they fight, Opal has also sent a dangerous fake present to Foaly's wife to make him suffer. Her plan fails because Caballine masters martial arts and Foaly comes to save her from goblins that Opal sent as well. Artemis and his friends fail to destroy the second gate with a laser he created, and Mulch saves them from possessed pirate corpses by riding the oldest troll in the world and knocking out most of them, causing the spirits of fairy warriors to leave their bodies to the afterlife. They then enter Fowl Manor where Artemis decides to sacrifice himself in order to stop Opal from opening the second gate. Everyone in that area, including the spirits, immediately go to heaven, excluding Artemis, whose humanity and sheer willpower enables him to stay on Earth. Six months later, with the saliva that Artemis produced when he kissed Holly, they extract his DNA and make a clone of Artemis Fowl, which is then taken to the now overgrown gate. Artemis's spirit then takes control of the clone and he is alive once more. The series has been followed by a spin-off book series, called The Fowl Twinswhich is centered around the characters of Myles and Beckett Fowl, Artemis Fowl's brothers. The audiobooks were narrated by Nathaniel Parker. Artemis Fowl II uses his intelligence to build his family fortune through crime. This stems from his family, who have been criminals for generations. Following his father's presumed death at the hands of the Russian Mafia, and his mother's subsequent descent into madness, Artemis stopped attending his boarding school, assumed control of the Fowl criminal empire, and embarked on a crime spree to restore the family fortune and fund Arctic expeditions to rescue his father. His investigation into the supernatural eventually leads him into contact with the People in the first book. Due to a strict upbringing, and a lack of any intellectual equals to ground him, Artemis is Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony awkward, his best friend and bodyguard Butler being one of the few individuals whom Artemis trusts. He is very pale with raven-black hair and blue eyes. In The Lost ColonyHolly Short and he switch eyes, leaving him with one Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony eye and one hazel eye. Artemis is famed for his intelligence; he claims to have the "highest IQ tested in Europe", but is also known for a lack of coordination and athletic ability. Throughout the series, he learns profound morals from the Fairy People and becomes more compassionate and trustworthy, but still maintains much of his intelligence. Because of the time travel in The Lost Colonyhis legal age is older than his real age. Butler is the Fowl family's loyal manservant and Artemis's bodyguardand accompanies him around the world on his Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony. He is the third-most skilled martial artist on the planet the first is a monk on a Pacific Island and Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony second is his unclea formidable marksman and firearms expert, and has immense experience of the criminal underworld, often providing help to Artemis through his many contacts. His first name is Domovoi. He also has a little sister, Juliet, who appears in some of the books. Butler is rendered clinically dead temporarily in The Eternity Codebut is rescued by the ingenuity of his principal and Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony healing powers of Holly Short. Butler's favored weapon is a treasured Sig Sauer P pistol chambered in 9mm Parabellumbut often must resort to other fairy weaponry for his tasks. Due to his healing in The Eternity Codehis body is older than he actually is. Holly is a determined, forthright elf and the only female captain of LEPrecon, the reconnaissance division of the LEP. Holly is three feet tall and slender, with nut-brown skin and auburn hair. In the first book, she is kidnapped by Artemis and held for ransom, but over the course of the series they slowly become friends. She helped Artemis save the world on numerous occasions, and is one of Artemis's few friends. Holly holds a disregard for the rules and orders given to her. She is also one of the best pilots in LEPrecon. Foaly is a centaur, technical genius, and computer geek. He works for the LEP, the fairy Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony, and is in charge of preventing humankind from discovering the fairy civilization. His intelligence makes him paranoiac, which causes him to wear a foil hat to "protect him from human mind-probing technology". He designs most of the weaponry, wings, and other technical gadgets that the LEP use, such as the 'Iris Cam'. His sarcasm and talkative nature often annoy LEP officers, though his greatest pleasure outside of his engineering is aggravating the notoriously bad-tempered Commander Root. He has a rivalry with Opal Koboi, which she sporadically mentions throughout her dialogue. Opal is a deranged, paranoid genius pixie whose dream is world domination and the destruction of the LEP. A prodigy, she built Koboi Laboratories, a technology company, which she used to crush her father's company out of spite. Opal is featured in several of the Artemis Fowl books as the main antagonist. She detests Foaly, as he won a science competition in college over her, and she believes the judges chose Foaly instead just because he was male. However, she became Artemis' archenemy after he and Holly foiled her plans numerous times. In The Opal Deceptionshe creates a clone of herself to escape imprisonment, later killing Julius Root rather violently with a bomb, and framing Holly Short. In the past, it is revealed Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony she harvested a silky silfaka lemur's brain fluid as one of the steps to achieving world domination. She later kills her past self created in The Time Paradoxcreating a paradox. Opal is later killed by Oro Shaydova, the leader of fairy soldiers killed in the battle of Taillte. Mulch is a kleptomaniac, criminal dwarf who has been involved in crime for four centuries. When considered with the average dwarf lifespan, he is not that old. He once was a mining dwarf, but later decided that stealing from Mud Men humans suited him much better. Because he has stolen from Mud Men, Mulch no longer has the significant magic powers of the usual fairy, but he has retained the gift of tongues, and has even shown his ability to speak 'American dog' in The Arctic Incident. He insists that humans were stealing from fairy-kind and the earth and that he is simply taking them back or repossessing the items. Eventually, when the fairies and Artemis are on stable ground, he joins forces with the Fairy People on many adventures, acting as an LEP helper at the beginning of The Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony Paradox. Julius Root commanded the LEPrecon and was in charge of all activities related to the tracking of those who leave fairy civilization, to prevent them making contact with humans. Known for his ruddy face hence his nickname, "Beetroot" and extremely short temper, he led the LEPrecon on missions until Koboi killed him with an explosive in The Opal Deception and framed Holly Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony. He usually despised Holly's disregard for rules and orders. However, Root also seems to have been a lot like Holly Short when he was younger; a book states that Holly Short had recently beat the speed record that had been set 80 years prior by Julius Root. Julius Root hates when Foaly called him by his first name. A minor antagonist in the Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony novel, Cudgeon was an ex- LEP lieutenant who was humiliated by Commander Julius Root and had the misfortune of having a terrible-looking face, the result of illegal mind- boosting liquid colliding with sedative Julius Root used to put him to sleep in the first novel. Enraged by this, Opal attacks Cudgeon, and in the struggle, they smash into a pipeline containing reignited Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony, which violently fries Cudgeon to death, and gruesomely incapacitates Opal. Colfer has said in interviews that the series is about Artemis growing up. The Lost Colony (Eoin Colfer) » Read Online Free Books

When it became clear to the fairy families that they could never win, they decided to move their civilisation underground and keep themselves hidden from the humans. All the fairy families agreed on this, except the eighth famil Alternate Cover Edition for ISBN: Ten thousand years ago, humans and fairies fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. All the fairy families agreed on this, except the eighth family, the demons. The demons planned to lift their small island out of time until they had regrouped and were ready to wage war on the humans once more. However, the time spell went wrong, and the island of Hybras was Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony into Limbo, where it has remained for ten thousand years. Now, the tainted time spell is deteriorating and demons are being sucked back into the present space and time. The fairy Council are naturally concerned about this and are monitoring any materialisations. Even the fairy Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony cannot figure out where the next demon will pop up. But someone can. Artemis Fowl, the teenage criminal mastermind, has solved temporal equations that no normal human should be intelligent enough to understand. But Artemis Fowl is no normal human. So when a confused and frightened demon pops up in a Sicilian theatre, Artemis Fowl is there to meet him. Unfortunately, he is not the only one. A second, mysterious party has also solved the temporal equations, and manages to abduct the demon before Artemis can secure him. This is a disaster for the fairy People, because this demon was no ordinary fairy. He was the last demon warlock, and as such held the key to the survival of the entire demon race. It is up to Artemis and his old comrade Captain Holly Short to track down the missing demon and rescue him before the time spell dissolves completely and the lost demon colony returns violently to Earth.

No matter what dimension you're in, there's a big-headed male trying to take over the world. I wasn't expecting this. I was trying too hard to like this book. But I couldn't. I just couldn't! Change the pattern. I have guessed by now how you will start the book. Of course, after reading the last four books of the series. So I was bored in the beginning except for one thing. There was action and little excitement. Or I also consider the excitement in this No matter what Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony you're in, there's a big-headed male trying to take over the world. Or I also consider the excitement in this was slightly unnecessary. Maybe Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony just me?? Don't know but I was feeling just like that. The most important thing of my dislikes is the Villain. I couldn't connect with her. I liked Opal Koboi more. Nevertheless, I enjoyed after the beginning. It wasn't that bad but wasn't that good as compared to the previous books of the series. January 14, Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony is the fifth book in the series, and I personally think that everyone who loves Harry Potter should read these books.

There is no over-arcing plot between books, Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony there are certainly continuing themes and characters, so a reader can pick up the series at Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony point. I was excited when I got it, drove an hour away to the nearest bookstore to find it, started reading right away, and then I ended up putting it down later that day in favor of watching Veronica Mars. The second half of the book is far more interesting and the ending made me jump up and down with joy for what is being set-up for the next book.
