The eighth book in Eoin Colfer's internationally bestselling series about a criminal mastermind and his siege against dangerous, tech-savvy fairies. <p/>"The world that Colfer creates is as vivid and fantastical as any shire, gotham, or galaxy far, far away in recent memory."
―Entertainment Weekly <p/>Artemis Fowl's archenemy Opal Koboi has masterminded a way to simultaneously secure her release from prison and bring the human and fairy worlds to their knees. <p/>Ground zero is the Fowl Estate, where Opal has reanimated fairy warriors whose spirits have possessed any vessel they can find--corpses, Artemis's little brothers, assorted wildlife--and they are bound to obey Opal's every command. Defeating the motley troops and their diabolical leader will require all of Artemis's cleverness--as well as Butler's bravery, Holly's skill, and Foaly's gadgetry. But if their best efforts aren't enough, Armageddon will surely follow.
