Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer (SF COL)
From a strikingly original voice
in fiction comes the story of Artemis Fowl, a very unusual hero.
Artemis combines the astuteness of Sherlock Holmes with the
sangfroid of James Bond and the attitude of Attila the Hun. But even
Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy,
Captain Holly Short of Leprecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of
bedtime stories. These fairies are armed and they're dangerous.
Artemis thinks he's got them just where he wants them, but then they
stop playing by the rules. Full of unexpected twists and turns,
Artemis Fowl opens up a riveting world of magic, mystery, and humor. |
