Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception
The fourth Artemis Fowl hits stores 3 May.
The blurb (as seen on its Amazon page) is rather interesting: Quote:

Yes! I love the Artemis Fowl series!!
The third book ended with distinct sequel possibilities, and here it is! *cheers* I think this series is the example of a really great fantasy. I have particular respect for books that are realistically set in our world while having a distinct fantasy element. This series really exemplifies that.

Thanks, IP! I didn't realize the new book was out. I really enjoy the characters in these books. We've never seen Artemis before as a full-fledged criminal w/o any redeeming motivation. It'll be interesting to see how he and Holly team up when he has no memory of fairies.

It's a very cool series. Didn't know there was a new book coming, though I should have excpected it. It'll probably be somewhat delayed here, but I'm waiting

I really like the series too. I'm looking forward to the next book, it doesn't come out until May! I liked the first one the best. I didn't really like the third one as well though.
