Artemis is at boarding school in Ireland when he receives an urgent video e-mail from Russia. In it is a plea from a man who has been kidnapped by the Russian Mafia -- a man Artemis had thought he would never see again: his beloved father. As Artemis rushes to his rescue, he is stopped by a familiar nemesis, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police. But this time, instead of battling the fairies, he is going to have to join forces with them if he wants to save one of the few people in the world he loves.

"Stay back, human, You don't know what you're dealing with."
This is of course the first Colfer work I ever read - in fact, I first stumbled upon it completely accidentally at the public library on audio cassette. colfer's absolutely stunning blend of the fairy tale and futuristic technology has gripped me time and time again, and this is easily the tenth reading of this short but massively incredible work.

Looking back at those days I can still feel the glee of Artemis' triumph at his initial success. I laugh out loud at the quips and the banter. and I always, always look forward to reading the sequels. at time of writing this review the seventh installment of the series is coming out in a few days. truly, I can't wait.
