Eoin Colfer describes his new book,
Artemis Fowl, as "
Die Hard with fairies." He's not far wrong.
Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is the most ingenious criminal mastermind
in history. With two trusty sidekicks in tow, he hatches a cunning plot
to divest the fairyfolk of their pot of gold. Of course, he isn't
foolish enough to believe in all that "gold at the end of the rainbow"
nonsense. Rather, he knows that the only way to separate the little
people from their stash is to kidnap one of them and wait for the
ransom to arrive. But when the time comes to put his plan into action,
he doesn't count on the appearance of the extra small, pointy-eared
Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police
Reconnaisance) Unit--and her senior officer, Commander Root, a man
(sorry, elf) who will stop at nothing to get her back.
