By Eoin Colfer
‘Artemis’s father has been missing for almost two years. His location?
the Arctic Circle, where the Russian Mafia are holding him prisoner.
Now Artemis must execute a daring rescue operation to get his
father back. But that’s not his only problem. Since abducting one
of an underground race of armed and dangerous fairies, Artemis
has become their prime suspect for any human wrong doing. Elfin
Captain Holly Short has accused him of supplying illegal human
power cells to the goblin gangs. There is going to be a terrifying
uprising – but at least it will get Artemis away from his computer and he’ll
meet some new people... it’s just a pity most of them want to kill him.’
