![]() | The Lost Colony (Artemis Fowl, Book 5) Eoin Colfer Date: 2006-09-12 — Book Rating: |
Ten thousand years ago, demons lifted their small island out of Earth time in lieu of moving underground as the other faeire families did. The Island of Hybras has been living in Limbo until now- as the spell deteriorates demons are being pulled back into present time and space. Section Eight (a group more powerful than the LEP) has been monitoring demon materializations, however, the materializations are becoming more and more unpredictable... but not for Artemis Fowl, who is there to meet the next demon who appears in this demension, but he is not the only one. This second party abducts the demon before Artemis can secure him and now he and Holly must rescue the demon before the world becomes aware of him.

I'm in the process of reading this one out loud, and it's been good fun,
though i wish (spoiler? not really, this happens pretty early on in the
book) that Holly would have been able to spend more time as a character as
a P.I. Having the whole P.I. thing fall through so quick kind of makes it
feel like Colfer would have scrapped the idea altogether if he hadn't
published The Opal Deception already, you know?
Of course, maybe Holly goes back to being a P.I. at the end of the book -
I'll just have to wait and see.
