Product Description
Ten thousand years ago, humans and fairies fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. When it became clear to the fairy families that they could never win, they decided to move their civilization underground and keep themselves hidden from the humans. All the fairy families agreed on this, except the 8th family, the demons.DIVBRThe 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 catapulted into Limbo, where it has remained for ten thousand years.BRBRNow, the tainted time spell is deteriorating and demons are being sucked back into the present space and time. The fairy Council is naturally concerned about this and is monitoring any materializations. When the spell's deterioration accelerates, the materializations become unpredictable. Even the fairy scientists cannot figure out where the next demon will pop up. BRBRBut someone can. Artemis Fowl, teenage criminal mastermind has solved temporal equations that no normal human should be intelligent enough to understand. 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 has managed to abduct the demon before Artemis can secure him.BRBRThis is a disaster for the fairy people, as this demon was no ordinary fairy. He was the last demon warlock, the one who held the key to the survival of the entire demon race.BRBRIt 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.

Amazing Book May 6, 2008
Artemis Fowl a smart, pale criminal mastermind is in yet another life-and-death adventure with his trusty bodyguard Butler at his side. Artemis has made another discovery that humans should not ordinarily be smart enough to figure out. With the help of his fairy friends (Foaly, Holly and Mulch) Artemis must save a demon-imp from the french genius Minerva. Demons are appearing everywhere; the time spell the ancient warlocks put into place 10,000 years ago is unraveling.br /br /Has Artemis finally met his match? Can he save the fairies? You must read this suspenseful and funny book to find out. The Lost Colony is a must have for fans of the series. It is also a well-structured fantasy that often feels real. I liked it a lot and I give it 5 Stars.
 Continuing the good times! April 3, 2008
The Artemis Fowl train keeps on rolling as we are introduced to the demons of the fairy world. Colfer continues to come up with unique ways of looking at types of characters (like the elves and dwarves) which give a much different take than what we've seen in traditional fantasy literature.br /My one complaint in this book is it's very vague in explaining how Artemis and Foaly are figuring out some equation to know when demons will appear. Plus, the ending is too wide open with the time Artemis has been gone, what has happened while he's gone, and how the elves knew when he'd return. Hopefully it will all be explained in the next book!
