    About this audiobook

    Can humanity survive on a new world? On Eos, the last survivors of the Long Winter face their greatest challenge yet--and race to unravel the deepest secrets of the grid. * * * The last survivors of the human race escaped a ruined Earth. Their new homeworld--Eos--seemed perfect at first. Warm. Hospitable. Safe from the grid. But everything isn't as it seems. The first colony of settlers--from the Carthage--have disappeared. Their settlement is still there, but everyone is gone. As James digs into the mystery of the lost colony, he discovers a series of spheres, buried on Eos. Are they the key to finding the lost colonists? Or are they responsible for their deaths? Just as James is unraveling the secrets of the spheres, a storm hits Jericho City. Emma, recently elected mayor, struggles to lead her people to safety while James tries to make his way home. In the middle of the chaos, a new danger emerges--a threat no one saw coming. With time running out to save the colonists, James and Emma face their hardest choice yet. ABOUT THE LOST COLONY The Lost Colony is the third and final book in The Long Winter trilogy, which began with Winter World and continued in The Solar War.

      Artemis is growing up annd is finding that puberty can be quite distracting even when you are in the middle of a highly complex and delicate plan. Time travel, another genius who happens to have tight blonde curls and a pride of demons appear in this latest instalment of the Artemis Fowl series. Although sometimes the pace goes a bit too fast, (I would have liked to have seen Artemis really flummoxed by flirtatious behavior) and certain aspects of the narrative gets glossed over, The Lost Colony is definitely a book to recommend to all kids who enjoy action/adventure stories as well as those who enjoy the fantasy world of fairies. 8-10 years
    • 4/5
      Re-read this one on the recommendation of a lady on placement. Highly amusing and enjoyable, I especially like that Artemis is growing up through the series.
    • 5/5
      Artemis Fowl, teenage genius and mastercriminal finds his match and it is a girl no less. She has found out that fairies do exist and sets out to capture herself a demon, the most human-hating species unknown to man.It falls to Artemis, butler and of course Holly Short to stop her and save mankind and the lower elements.I love Artemis Fowl. It is funny, fast paced and very imaginitive. There is a good plot, good, witty, narrative and just a plain good read.
    • 3/5
      I found this book I'm the series was the most confusing and not really of interest for me.
    • 5/5
      When the magical time spells separating the self-exiled demon world from Earth begins to unravel, Foaly enlists Artemis Fowl to calculate the location of the next demon appearance . He does so, but finds that he is not the only young genius to have done so... and this one is a 12-year-old girl. This is another cracking adventure, all the more pleasurable now that Artemis has mellowed somewhat. And some events happen in the wrapping up that assure even more depth to future stories.
    • 5/5
      For the 5th book of the Artemis Fowl series, Eoin Colfer has created an alternate reality in which demons live on a volcanic island, with the volcano itself being a wormhole. A rare demon warlock named No1 is unable to transform from his lesser being into a full grown demon, so he travels to the human world, where another teenage genious, Minerva finds him. Read this book to find out how Artemis and Holly can save No1 and the demon race, when the wormhole on the island begins to unravel and send demons randomly into the human world.
    • 5/5
      Perhaps my favorite Artemis yet. I can't wait for the next.
    • 4/5
      This book had me scratching my head. There were parts of it I loved (Artemis going through puberty; the emergence of another "child genius) but the whole demon colony and all of the magic and logic and science just... almost tipped the scale as TOO nerdy. It was very, very hard to follow at times and, considering this is a MS level book... that could be a deal-breaker when it comes to younger boys like my nephew.
    • 3/5
      a good long book
    • 5/5
      Like the Harry Potter books Artemis Fowl keeps advancing in depth. The Lost Colony is by far the best one. It was very engaging and fast paced. This one actually made me laugh out loud several times. The Lost Colony was one of the family of fairies, the demons. They did not want to run and hide from the mud men 10,000 years ago, so they hid in time. The spell that put them their is finally falling apart and something needs to be done to save everyone, demaons and the rest of the fairies. On top of that Artemis is starting to notice girls and meets an attractive girl as smart as he is.
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed the first two books of this series. I think the second book was better than the first. So I was excited to read the final book and see how the story ends. But I couldn’t finish this one! For some reason the narrator changed Arthur’s voice and made him emotionless and robotic, while they made Arthur seem devious and more human in the last two book. So it was extremely jarring to suddenly have a completely different version of this character that you become so familiar with in the second book. On top of that, it seemed like the narrator made the main character’s voice more like how Arthur was in the previous book, so every time he would speak, I was conditioned to hear it as Arthur speaking. So it really just ruined the experience and I couldn’t finish the book. It’s too bad because the story idea is pretty cool and i would have liked to see it through to the end. I’ll probably just Google how the story concludes instead of finishing the book.
    • 4/5
      Why did you vhange Arthur's voice?! I loved him as the sassy AI, not some monotone robot.
    • 5/5
      My favorite one so far...
    • 3/5
      artemis fowl: the lost colony is a ridiculously creative book. This book is exciting and thoughtful, not to mention unique. Demons, fairies, and time travel. I loved the wit of Artemis and the bravery of holly. But this series is slow and a little old, all the books seem to be extremely similar.
    • 5/5
      This is an intrersting adventure that test the limits of time and space, it had me telling myself "just one more page" for the whole book. When Artemis Fowl realises a cute Girl in a cafe he does not think anything of it but it is to be his destinyecspecialy with the time spell unraveling.
    • 5/5
      I love these books and Artemis is a great character. His relationship with Holly and Foaly is wonderful.
    • 4/5
      What will Artemis get himself into this time? And will his little friends be able to get him out of it? Or will it be him helping them out of a jam?
    • 5/5
      Wow. This books is definately the best of the series. I really enjoyed seeing thing things from No.1's perspective; in fact, the whole experience in the demons' island in time was great!
    • 5/5
      In my opinion, the best Artemis book so far. Glad to have the gang all back together with their memories intact. I love that the happy ending also strongly suggests that there will be more Artemis stories to come. Butler is still one of my all-time favorite literary characters.
    • 4/5
      As always, Eoin Colfer has created a wonderful mixture of action, suspense, humor, emotion, and techno-gadgets that captures the reader from the first page and carries him happily to the end. Having read all of the previous books, I won't say this one was my favorite - that honor goes to book #3, The Eternity Code, but it still left me feeling that Artemis isn't the only genius at work here. Not only has Mr. Colfer built a wonderfully believable alternate reality in which to set his stories, but he crafts his characters so well that they feel like friends. And, unlike some other series books I've read, the characters develop as the series moves forward. The relationships and the people / fairies themselves don't remain static but evolve as they should.
    • 3/5
      Artemis Fowl finally meets his match in a young girl just learning what being a genius can really mean. Between the two of them, demons are thwarted in taking over the earth.
    • 4/5
      This installment of Artemis Fowl's adventures includes demons, time travel, and warlocks frozen in stone. Holly Short, Butler, and Mulch all return to lend their talents to this latest attempt to save the fairy and human world. However, my favorite part of The Lost Colony was the introduction of Minerva, a twelve-year-old girl whose smarts and plots give Artemis a run for his money. Hopefully, Minerva makes more appearances in this series, as I would like to see more of her.
    • 3/5
      Artemis tries to reason with the devil n1, well crafted story, however it skips around critical character development. Colfer deliberately avoid the reader from getting to know more about the characters, to get to the point, perhaps because the author thinks if the reader really cared, they would read past the last book of the artemis fowl series.
    • 5/5
      Awesome. This book does not get drug down with lots of scientific technicalities but is a very good read. I read all three books in two weeks. The best part is using your imagination and realizing that events in these books are not too far-fetched in many cases.
    • 5/5
      Artemis is back to saving the world again. With the help of Holly and some friends, he could do the impossible. Make sure you read the next and final book!
    • 5/5
      I was soooo excited to see this one at the bookstore today that I grabbed it right away and finished it already. Artemis is up to his old tricks, but with a twist this time - there's nothing in it for him. Well, almost nothing. And he may have met his match in this one, with a pretty blonde young genius with her own scheme to infilitrate the fairy world. Oh, and that creepy image on the cover of the book - that's a demon. And he's on his way into our world.I did enjoy this one, but not quite as much as the last one. I missed some of the characters in past books and didn't feel that the villain(s) was (were?) really as menacing as in previous books. Still, I always love reading about Artemis, Butler, Holly, and the others in this series.CMB
    • 4/5
      It is a little different from the other two books, but pulls itself together in the end.
    • 4/5
      Artemis has discovered that there's some sort of temporal anomaly which is causing demons to appear, he has also worked out that these demons are in fact a fairy race who are caught in a time spell, and it's degrading.A second young genius, this time a girl, has also discovered about this paradox and they have to decide whether to work together or against each other to solve the problems that are coming. Not only the fairy world but also the human world are involved and this time Artemis may just have more problems than he can solve.I enjoyed this, Artemis is changing from a self-centered megalomaniac to someone with a conscience who is willing to sacrafice himself to save his friends. It will be interesting to watch him develop more.
    • 4/5
      I really do not know why it took me so long to read this series, but I wish I had read this much sooner.

      This series is one of those that is genre-defining for a reader, and this is what middle-grade fiction will always be expected to be for me at this point. The writing is well done and while the books are on the long side for the target demographic, they are enjoyable and have an excellent flow.

      This installment is no exception to that. At nearly 400 pages, I expected it to take me a fair bit longer to read, but it did not. I devoured the pages in just a few days and found myself often unable to walk away until I knew what would be coming next.

      Our villain becomes the hero of sorts in this installment and we get to see a whole knew side of him. This one also has more action of a slightly different variety. I am so grateful to have had a chance to finally read this one, and can't wait to see what more is in store in the next book.

      hooked on artemis, this just keeps getting better. watch out, harry.
