Artemis Fowl: the Atlantis Complex

Eoin Colfer

The supposedly final book in the amazingly popular Artemis Fowl series does not disappoint. The basic plot of the seven-book series spans over four years revolves around Artemis Fowl II, a criminal genius. After Artemis has proven the existence of an ancient fairy race living underneath the earth, he (yes, Artemis is a boy) decided to kidnap a fairy and try to rob it of its gold, with the help of his trusty bodyguard, Butler. Did I mention that Artemis is twelve? The fairy in question is Captain Holly Short, the first female in the Lower Elements Police branch LEPrecon. (LEPrecon, leprechauns…see the similarities?)     

            After Artemis relieves the fairies of a small amount of fairy gold and cures his mother’s mental illness with a little magic, he continues to have escapades including the LEP for most of his teenage years. However, after so much guilt resting on his conscience, Artemis develops a rare condition called the Atlantis Complex, with symptoms including paranoia, obsessive behavior, and multiple personality disorder. This falls at an inopportune time, exactly as a rogue LEP craft is hurtling toward the delicate underground fairy haven of Atlantis.

            Filled with emotion, action, and sharp wit, this thrilling read will leave everyone on the edge of their seats. Bringing the unpredictability of magic to the predictable outcome of technology makes for a gripping page-turner that begs for another sequel. Artemis Fowl: the Atlantis Complex is a must-read for adventure and fantasy fans of all ages.
