Lost Colony, The (Artemis Fowl, Book 5) Kindle Edition

This series must be read in order. The first book is "Artemis Fowl". The second book is "The Arctic Incident". The third book is "The Eternity Code". The fourth book is "The Opal Deception". This is the fifth book. I can't wait to read "The Time Paradox"!Artemis is dragging Butler all around the globe searching for a visitor he will not name. He is driving Butler insane. None of the places they go to are safe or easy for Butler to defend Artemis. They don't seem to be connected. Who or what is Artemis searching for? Will finding it be a good or a bad thing? What scheme is Artemis up to this time?

I am a BIG book worm and wanted to try something different because I am also a big Harry Potter fan. I really would suggest this book if you enjoy fantasy, action, hi- tech, adventure, and Harry Potter. I would suggest this book because of the detail and depth of the books. I also enjoy that the author has books other than Artemis Fowl, such as “The Fowl Twins.” I also enjoy the plot twists, the excitement, and the adventure.

first off i want to clarify: i loved every book leading up to this. well done, creative, interesting. but just no. The whole selling point of the first 4 books was that Artemis was a VILLAIN! but suddenly his genius turns into good natured luck no more devious schemes, plot twists or general mischief. he becomes a boring protagonist with to strong a moral compass. WHERE ARE YOU ARTEMIS AND WHO DID THIS TO YOU?!?! t the author took the series with this book and threw it down the drain. suddenly it's just as watered down as pirates of the Caribbean or Disney star wars.i'll never recover.

After reading through the Harry Potter and Percy Jackson books - we needed a new series for our nightly family story reading time. This is an interesting Magical world that treats magical creatures as matter-of-fact.The characters are really interesting and strongly written , there is a little more emphasis on tech- gadgets than Percy Jackson or Harry Potter (our guys love them ) This book of the series introduces a new type of magical creature and as usual for this series, the main characters have to use their heads to get themselves out of their predicament.There were some interesting plot twists we didn't expect but really enjoyed. We liked this one :)

Seriously, I could listen to Nathaniel Parker read stock reports, the city directory or the "terms of use" boilerplate that accompanies software installation packages.He is wonderful.Parker also reads the Young James Bond series which are so vivid in my mind now, I may never read the Higson books. I prefer to listen to them.I'd never listened to an Artemis Fowl book before, and I did not even notice the name of the narrator. When I heard Parker's dulcet tones begin the book, I did a little happy dance around the house.Artemis is on a mission to save the fairy world. The stoic Butler is still at his side. Artemis is feeling the effects of puberty which, hilariously, foil his concentration on occasion. While hunting demons, he encounters a new rival, the lovely Minerva Paradizo (oh, how I love Colfer's characters' names) who is the same age as Artemis and just as brilliant. She hopes to trap a fairy and impress the Nobel prize committee with her discoveries.Holly Short has quit LEPRecon following the death of her old boss, Julius Root and now earns her living with Mulch Diggums, as a Lower Elements bounty hunter. She re-teams with Artemis and Foaly in order to save their world from an unstable time tunnel.Colfer's books are action thrillers full of explosions, car chases and techno gadgetry. They are also packed with stacks of humor, witty dialog and topical references that keep them fresh. What keeps me coming back though, are the underlying ethical and moral issues that are at the core of the tales. The fun of the Artemis stories is how he remains a fast-thinking, law-bending, conniver with a conscience and a heart.

Throughout the series, Artemis, a criminal mastermind teen, has been learning to be a good guy. In this book, that transformation is pretty much complete. Former LEP Captain Holly Short is called back into service in Foaly's new (and very well-funded) post in the secretive Section Eight. Demons, the Eighth Family of the Fairy People, have begun appearing on Earth, and Artemis Fowl seems to be able to predict when and where. But someone else, another genius child named Minerva Paradizo, has figured it out, too, and manages to capture a small imp named No. 1. Artemis agrees to help Holly and the Fairies rescue the imp before more humans find out about him and start searching for more -- which might lead them to the Fairy undergroundAs the series evolves, Artemis has lost the last traces of his criminal bent, almost becoming the millennial version of a boy scout. He and the Fairies are now solidly on the same side and good friends. Even the violence has been dialed back a bit. With his brilliance, technology, family organization, and world-spanning adventuring, Artemis has become a sort of Tom Swift for the 21st century.Five books into the series the relationships and motivations are getting more complex, so it is best to start with the first book. Author Eoin Colfer seems to like putting Artemis up against other geniuses but Minerva, who doesn't really mean any harm, is no Opal Koboi (for the uninitiated, she's the maniacal villain from books 2 and 4). So with THE LOST COLONY the series returns to the pleasure of seeing Artemis, always in charge and unflappable, work out his complicated plans; he's not off-balance and one step behind, like in the fourth book.

Artemis Fowl has met his match in a new foe in the fifth entry, Minerva Paradizo. Not just that, a very sacred fairy island is in danger and now Artemis and the fairies, including a elite group of ones, must keep a demor war from happening. <b>A- (91%/Excellent)</b>

This book was bought as a present- I've been told it is very good by a 12 year old boy! The book arrived quickly - the service was excellent - definitely recommend ordering from them as I had no issues .

The best book in the Artemis Fowl series, according to our son (9yrs). He tells us that the most tense part was when Artemis, the fairies and the warlocks were being chased by demons! And the entire island was collapsing all around them into the time paradox. He would highly recommend this book.

At his request, I ordered for my Grandson book's 5 & 6 Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. On Checking I found that therewere eight book's in this series so I ordered 7 & 8 as well. The delight on his face when he realised he now had the fullset had to be seen to be believed. I can't say enough except to say he was one happy boy. I know he has started to readthem and feel sure he will give a five star rating From one happy Nanna and her Grandson, thank you.

After a long break from reading this series I got back in to it recently.These books are brilliant, I realise they are aimed at the 10-14 age range but as a 25 year old woman, I love them!They make you think, you become very emotionally attached to the characters and Eoin Colfer still manages to keep you guessing!

Good book, my daughter loves it
