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.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 5-8-Nathaniel Parker once again brings the adventures of teenage genius Artemis Fowl to vivid life in Eoin Colfer's final installment (Hyperion, 2012) of the series. Since little back story is provided, listeners familiar with the series will find it easier to follow the story as Artemis faces off with his rival, Opal, an evil pixie who is determined to bring the human and fairy worlds to an explosive end. Moving somewhat seamlessly between perspectives of the different characters, Parker gives distinct personalities and accents to each character, offers spot-on dramatic and comic timing for every scene, and provides heart-throbbing pacing during the most action-packed sequences. A definite purchase for libraries where the series is already part of their collection. The only disappointment fans will experience is that this is the last Artemis adventure.or is it?-Stephanie A.
