Publisher's summary

Is this Artemis Fowl’s last stand?

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. And, unless Artemis can stop her, the evil pixie’s next move will destroy all human life on Earth.

Ground zero is the Fowl Estate, where Opal has reanimated fairy warriors who were buried there thousands of years ago. Their spirits have possessed any vessels 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.

New York Times best-selling author and comic genius Eoin Colfer will leave Artemis Fowl fans gasping up to the very end of this thrilling finale to the blockbuster series.

Such a fitting ending to a breathtaking series!

One of the things I love most about Artemis fowl is the way that these books break so many cliches. Here again in the last book circumstances take unexpected twists bringing the series to a very satisfying ending that was so beautifully done it made me cry. I'm pretty picky about what I consider a good story to be but I can say without a doubt that I will be listening to the Artemis Fowl series again in the very near future! One of the top three book series I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

addictive series

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series. It's completely as addictive as Harry Potter. From start to finish it pulls you on and won't let go.
