Artemis Fowl senior dissapeared in the arctic along with a misunderstanding with the Russian Mafiya. One day, Artemis Fowl goes to iceland to talk about saving the world with Holly Short, Foaly, and Commander Vinyaya. Artemis is talking about his ice cannon, which make snow wafers fall to the ground and reflect the sunlight and save the ice, when Holly relizes that Artemis has the Atlantis Complex, which causes obsessive behavior, paranoia, delusions, and in extreme cases multiple personality disorder. They go outside and look at his ice cannon, when he detects a ship crashing at full speed. The ship appears and Artemis thinks it's a memory, but it is real. Holly finds out that Artemis has to move or the ship will kill him. So Holly shoots him. The ship crashes and reveals an underground river. Little probes, called amorphobots come out of the ship. Artemis wakes up, but now he is Orion. Then Holly goes down the cliff to get the ships escape pod. Once she get's it, Orion and Foaly get on to chase the ship. Meanwhile, in the Atlantis prison, Turnball Root is thinking about escaping and returning to his wife, Leoner. In the escape pod Orion, Holly, and Foaly are chasing the probe and go underwater when they realize that it is heading toward Atlantis. They go up because they don't have enough air. In Atlantis, people are evacuating they city and Visby drives the prisoners. Then Turnball betrays Vishby.

    Orion
  • “If I ever get out of this, I will start thinking about girls like a normal fifteen-year-old.”
    Artemis Fowl II
  • “Foaly is singing," said Holly. "Surely that's illegal?”
    Captain Holly Short
  • “Zombie!" he shrieked, and, unfortunately for him, two of his shift buddies were in the air lock behind him, and it cost him three weeks' pudding rations to buy their silence.”
    A sea gnome
  • “It's possible," Foaly admitted, a guilty tinge blossoming on his rear cheeks, another reason he lost at poker.”
    Foaly

  • “Oh, I’m crazy, all right. I do have plenty of psychoses,” said Orion cheerily. “Multiple personality, delusional dementia, OCD. I’ve got them all, but most of all, I’m crazy about you.”

  • “Foaly. Your security sucks. When are you guys going to learn? A few years ago the goblins built a shuttle, and now you have convicts running your space program.”

  • One loose rivet or cracked weld line would have been enough to allow a few atmospheres to squirt out, and the ship would have been crushed like a soda can in the hand of a giant who was immensely strong and didn’t like soda cans.

  • “No. Myles stayed at the door for three days straight, tapping away until he came across the correct combination. He used several rolls of toilet paper writing down the possibilities.” Juliet was almost afraid to ask. “What did Beckett do?” Butler grinned back at his sister. “Beckett dug a bear trap in the garden, and when Myles fell in, he swapped him a ladder for the code.”

  • “Dwarf cheese?” “Cheese made by dwarfs.” “Oh,” said Orion, relieved. “They make it. It’s not actually . . .” “No. What a horrible thought.” “Exactly.”
    Highlighted by 138 Kindle customers
  • What did Beckett do?” “He ate Artemis’s hamster.” “What?” “Well, he chewed on its leg for a bit.” Butler shifted in the cramped space. Fairy crafts were not built to accommodate giant, shaven-headed, human bodyguards. Not that the shaved head made much difference.

  • Orion sniffed. “Good. Then, worthy centaur, perhaps you could give me a ride to the village on your back. Then I can make a few pennies with my verses while you build us a shack and perform circus tricks for passersby.” This was such a surprising statement that Foaly briefly considered jumping into the hole to get away.
