Twelve-year-old "Artemis
Fowl" is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history and, with
his trusty sidekicks Butler and Juliet in tow, he hatches a cunning plot to
divest the fairyfolk of their pot of gold. His bold and daring plan is to hold
a leprechaun to ransom. But he takes on more than he bargained for when he
kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police
Reconnaissance Unit). Add to that the fact that Holly is a true heroine and
that her senior officer, Commander Root, will stop at nothing to get her back
and you've got the mother of all sieges brewing! The resulting high-octane mix
of folklore, fantasy and technology is a a rip-roaring, 21st-century romp of
the highest order, which can only be described as "Die Hard with
fairies"! |
