Meet Fletcher Moon. Half-pint schoolboy and fully qualified private investigator. Since graduating online, he has solved all sorts of minor mysteries at school and at home. It was only a matter of time before things got serious. When Fletcher investigates a spate of crimes in the town of Lock, the finger of suspicion is soon pointing in the direction of shady brothers Herod and Red Sharkey.

Artemis Fowl scheint sich verrechnet zu haben. Dabei ist eigentlich alles bestens vorbereitet. Er steht mitten im spanischen Barcelona, sein Leibwachter halt ihm aus Sorge vor Scharfschutzen den Rucken frei, eine Storanlage soll verhindern, dass die Touristen den Damonen aus der Unterwelt mit ihren Videos filmen konnen. Und dann passiert einfach -- nichts! Zunachst zumindest. Denn dann taucht der Damon unter lautem Heulen auf, materialisiert sich und reit Artemis mit sich in ein Zeitloch und damit in die Unterwelt. Glucklicherweise wird der Meisterdieb wieder ausgespuckt, alle Gliedmaen funktionieren tadellos (auch wenn zwei Finger vertauscht sind). Aber dies ist nur die erste Storung zwischen den Ebenen. Denn die grimmigen Damonen scheinen ihre Insel Hybras in der Unterwelt verlassen zu wollen. Artemis muss sich einen von ihnen schnappen, um herauszufinden, was die Ordnung zwischen den Welten bedroht. Dabei kommt ihm Minerva Palazzo in die Quere: ein hyperintelligentes Madchen, das ganz eigene Ziele zu verfolgen scheint und doch bald mit Artemis zusammenarbeitet. Beim Kampf gegen die Damonen wird Artemis allerdings selbst aus der Bahn geworfen. Wird es ihm gelingen, wieder auf die Erdoberflache zuruckzukehren? Nach Das Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl - Die Verschworung, Artemis Fowl - Der Geheimcode und Artemis Fowl - Die Rache ist Artemis Fowl - Die verlorene Kolonie das funfte Abenteuer rund um den genialen, aber auch etwas eingebildeten jugendlichen Gauner Artemis Fowl (wenn man das Fan-Buch Artemis Fowl - Die Akte mit zwei neuen Geschichten nicht mitzahlt). Und, was soll man sagen: Mit seinen phantastischen Erfindungen, Zwergen, Elfen und Trollen ist es wieder einmal groartig gelungen. Nicht nur fur eingefleischte Fowl-Fans ist Die verlorene Kolonie wieder beste Unterhaltung. Und, nebenbei bemerkt, diesmal auch fur all jene, die schon immer wissen wollten, was den spanischen Architekten Antonio Gaudi bei der phantastischen Architektur seiner Casa Mila in Barcelona inspiriert hat. -- Stefan Kellerer, Literaturanzeiger.de

Conor Broekhart was a remarkable boy, a fact that became evident very early in his idyllic childhood. Nature is usually grudging with her gifts, dispensing them sparingly, but she favoured Conor with everything she had to offer. It seemed as though all the talents of his ancestors had been bestowed upon him. Intelligence, strong features and grace. Conor was fortunate in his situation too. He was born into an affluent community, where the values of equality and justice were actually being applied, on the surface at least. He grew up with a strong belief in right and wrong, which was not muddied by poverty or violence. It was straightforward for the young boy. Right was Great Saltee, wrong was Little Saltee. It is an easy matter now, to pluck some events from Conor''s early years and say, There it is. The boy who became the man. We should have seen it. But hindsight is an unreliable science and, in truth, there was perhaps a single incident during Conor''s early days at the palace that hinted at his potential.
