The Irish genius, boy wonder has his fifth outing. This time he seems more often than not on the side of the goodies as he tries to work with his friends in the fairy world to save demons from virtual extinction. His opponents include a girl, Minerva, more than an intellectual match and very pretty too. Is Artemis about to become fawningly pubescent?

The quirky humour is infectious, the plotting breathtakingly spectacular and the characters intriguingly bizarre. As for the technology details, where will it ever end? Fantasy fans everywhere need to get this one on their reading list.
