Concerning the fifth book: Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony

I didn't realize that book 5 was out yet, but apparently it is! It seems that it was released September 15 of this year. I'll have to get it ASAP and read it, but I'll post the news that I found right now. Here is a synopsis I was able to find...

“Ten thousand years ago, humans and fairies fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. When it became clear to the fairy families that they could never win, they decided to move their civilisation underground and keep themselves hidden from the humans. All the fairy families agreed on this, except the eighth family, the demons.

The demons planned to lift their small island out of time until they had regrouped and were ready to wage war on the humans once more. However, the time spell went wrong, and the island of Hybras was catapulted into Limbo, where it has remained for ten thousand years.

Now, the tainted time spell is deteriorating and demons are being sucked back into the present space and time. The Fairy Council are naturally concerned about this and are monitoring any materialisations. When the spell's deterioration accelerates, the materialisations become unpredictable. Even the fairy scientists cannot figure out where the next demon will pop up.

But someone can. Artemis Fowl, the teenage criminal mastermind, has solved temporal equations that no normal human should be intelligent enough to understand. But Artemis Fowl is no normal human.

So when a confused and frightened demon pops up in a Sicilian theatre, Artemis Fowl is there to meet him. Unfortunately, he is not the only one. A second, mysterious party has also solved the temporal equations, and manages to abduct the demon before Artemis can secure him.

This is a disaster for the fairy People, because this demon was no ordinary fairy. He was the last demon warlock, and as such held the key to the survival of the entire demon race.

It is up to Artemis and his old comrade Captain Holly Short to track down the missing demon and rescue him before the time spell dissolves completely and the lost demon colony returns violently to Earth.”

There were also some spoilers that I found by mistake, but I won't put those here! Here's a link to a picture of the cover: http://artemisfowl.fangathering.com/pictures/covers_af5.jpg

As the title suggests, this is an Artemis Fowl blog.

If you haven't read any of Eoin Colfer's books in the Artemis Fowl series, you should do so! Although they were written as children's novels, even adults will enjoy them. I think most Harry Potter fans will be glad that they read these!

A few nights ago I thought it would be cool to start an Artemis Fowl website, so my sister told me that a blog would be a good way to start out. There don't seem to be enough fans, so this is a bit of an attempt to get a few more people interested. I've never blogged before either, but I think I will enjoy it. I'll make a more interesting post as soon as I can.
