Artemis Fowl, a 13-year-old evil genius, learns that his missing father is alive and being held for ransom by the Mafia in Russia. He and his gigantic, highly-trained body guard, Butler, prepare to rescue Artemis I when they're called below ground by the Lower Elements Police for questioning. Root says if Artemis will help them catch the real culprit, he and Holly will help Artemis rescue his father. Butler halts the human who is helping the goblin squad (known as the B'wa Kell), but the LEP remain unaware that a member of their squad (Cudgeon) and their main technology supplier (Opal Koboi) have masterminded the B'wa Kell's operation as a cover for their larger plot to gain revenge and power. As Artemis, Butler, Holly and Root battle goblins, arctic conditions and nuclear radiation in Russia, Opal, Cudgeon and the goblins shut down all LEP systems below ground and trap Foaly. Foaly uses the laptop LEP confiscated from Artemis to send the team in Russia word of the revolution. What is Artemis going to do? Time is less and he has to help them save the fairies and his father.

9 and up and those like me who love to read fantasy, adventure and magic books.

the character of Artemis Fowl. The writer must have worked hard to keep him up to the readers and he is an unusual and rare character in the books that I have read before

Begin reading the next series and I am currently reading it as well.

Really sympathetic and entertained. Sympathetic because Artemis is a genius criminal mastermind but still he is a child who loves his father, his affection for his father is touching.
