Artemis is at boarding school in Ireland when he receives an urgent e-mail from Russia. In it is a plea from a man who has been kidnapped by the Russian Mafia: his father. As Artemis rushes to his rescue, he is stopped by a familiar nemesis, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police. But this time, instead of battling the fairies, he is going to have to join forces with them if he wants to save one of the few people in the world he loves.

"I think I like this one better than the first. Possibly because Artemis begins to exhibit some human emotions & is more attractive for it. The action is quite good, especially during the scenes set in Murmansk, & it leaves a good villain still around for future books in the person of Opal Koboi." — Brett (4 out of 5 stars)

The world Colfer creates is as vivid and fantastical as any shire, Gotham, or galaxy far, far away in recent memory.
" These books just keep getting better and better!!!!!!!!!! This is by far my favorite series!!!!!!!! "
" I enjoyed the Artemis Fowl series. "
" Great book.....:D "
" Fun re-read! I look forward to reading it again someday. I have to admit, I think I enjoyed reading it more this time, than the first time. "
" I liked this one better than the first one. Because there were 2 things they were trying to do: defeat the Blakell and save his father. "
" Read very similar adult, possibly an Andy McNab, arctic espionage and kidnapping only with fairies and sprites "
" I am really enjoying this series. They are really helping me to embrace the fantasy genre! "
" The first book was amazing, and the second one didn't disappoint either! I loved the take on Artemis's softer side. And, man, is the kid a genius, or what? "
" My second time reading it. Still as good as ever. "
" I had Nathaniel Parker read to me again. "
" This book introduces you to an intruiging pschopath and his accomplice (who is, in my opinion, even more pschotic) in the 'underworld' of Earth. "
" it was very unexpected "
" It's amaaazing!!! I love how Artemis knows like everything and Butler can beat like anyone!!!!! "
" I found this book in the Artemis Fowl series a bit more interesting, partly due to how more of the story takes place on the surface including in Russia. Summer 2012 #bookaday "
" Alot better than the first. I thorougly enjoyed this one. Recommend it. :) "
" loved it! thought it was a bit better than the first one. artemis, holly, and butler are my favorite characters. =) "
" Very good! I liked the first one better, but it was still awesome!!! "
" loved it it was exciting the whole way through "
" Even better than the first. An awesome book to read. The story was eye catching. The dialogue was snappy. And the characters were superbly developed/ "
" Honestly I struggled to finish this it just isnt my style I dont think. Didnt hold my attention or make me want to get back to it when I put it down. Story line was OK just not my thing. As much as I like to finish series once started I just cant do it with this one. "
" i think this is the best book out of the series. "
" Interesting kids novel. "
" I think this book is a fascinating book. It has a lot of action. The author of the book is Eoin Colfer. This is a series. It is about how Artemis Fowl went to look for his dad. He meets Captain Short of LEP. He doesn't like him that much. In the end they destroy the goblin base. "
" I think the title is not to accurate because even though they are in the arctic most of the story happens under ground. "
" Artemis is more boy than villain in this installment, and the People dominated the story. Still very enjoyable, especially the characters. :) "
" its good to be a child once more "
" It was good but more of a transition book between the first and the third. "
" This was really good! It's one of those expertly written books where the author knows exactly how to create suspense! "
" I've read this series so many times and yet every single time I read it, I find something new. This book was so much better then the first, too. I love this book, and I love all of the Artemis Fowl books. "
" I wish I could give half stars here, this would totally be 3.5. I am actually enjoying this series. It's not too heavy but has just the right amount of action to keep you entertained. "
" The second book in the Artemis Fowl series finds the fairies helping Artemis find his father, who has been captured by the Russian Mafiya. Another good read! "
" This was a fun read. I liked it better than the first one. Artemis's character is developing. Off to get the next one! "
" Enjoyed the second book far better than the first. "
" Again, these books are wonderful. Artemis really has a change of heart and becomes a little more sensitive. A little more language than the last book, but I loved it. "
" This book is great because it keeps you glued to the book. Once you start reading you just cant put it down. Kids can read it because it is appropriate for kids. "
" DON'T READ THIS BOOK... IT'S DANGEROUS!!!!! WARNING: If you have this book at home, give it away to you neighbor BEFORE IT EATS YOU!!!!! "
" Sequel to Artemis Fowl. I liked it just as good as the first. I love the places Artemis travels to and it would be great for any reader interested in science fiction. "
" it is a bit slow but very suspensefull a good fast read . fun for all ages i reallyenjoyed it. it is clever and clean its main proplem was body humor . "
" With action and adventure this childrens thriller will keep you on your toes! "
" Not bad. But not great. "
