The book was published in 2012 and follows the adventures of the brilliant teenage criminal mastermind, Artemis Fowl II, and his allies as they face their most dangerous and thrilling mission yet.

She has managed to escape from prison and is determined to take over the world by unleashing an army of deadly warriors called Berserkers.

Artemis, along with his loyal friends, including Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance) fairy police force, must race against time to stop Opal’s evil plan. They are joined by a new ally, a young demon named N°1, who possesses unique abilities that could turn the tide in their favor.

As they delve deeper into their mission, Artemis and his team discover that Opal’s plan goes beyond mere world domination. She intends to open a portal to another dimension known as the demon realm, where she hopes to gain ultimate power. To prevent this catastrophic event, Artemis must make a sacrifice that could change his life forever.

Throughout the story, readers witness the growth and development of Artemis Fowl’s character. He evolves from a cunning and selfish criminal mastermind into a more selfless and compassionate individual. His relationships with his friends also deepen as they face numerous challenges together.

Is this Artemis Fowl’s final position?

Artemis Fowl’s arch nemesis, Opal Koboi, has devised a way to simultaneously secure her release from prison and bring the human and elven 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 revived the fairy warriors who were buried there thousands of years ago. Their spirits took possession of any vessel they could find – corpses, Artemis’s brother, wild animals – and they were forced to obey Opal’s every command. Defeating the weak and their evil leader will require all of Artemis’ intelligence – as well as Butler’s bravery, Holly’s skill and Foaly’s equipment. But if their best efforts are not enough, Armageddon will surely follow.

This was a nice conclusion to the series. All of the usual characteristics of the Artemis Fowl series are in it, as well as all of the characters that we have grown fond of. I also like that the series was concluded in a way that brought the series full circle. If you have read/listened to the rest of the series, it is definitely worth getting this last installment, if you have not then I would recommend trying out the first few books as starting a series at the end is always a bad idea.
