About this listen

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Artemis Fowl, the explosive first novel in Eoin Colfer’s best-selling Artemis Fowl series. Read by the actor Gerry O’Brien.

Twelve-year-old villain Artemis Fowl is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. His bold and daring plan is to hold a leprechaun to ransom.

But he’s taking on more than he bargained for when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance Unit). For a start, leprechaun technology is more advanced than our own. Add to that the fact that Holly is a true heroine and that her senior officer Commander Root will stop at nothing to get her back and you’ve got the mother of all sieges brewing!

Excellent narration - gave this tale LIFE!

First time listening/reading Artemis Fowl series.
Though the start of the tale was a bit slow, the story built pace very quickly by chapter 3 into a wonderfully detailed recounting of events over less than a day, story-time.
Very glad I audiobooked it, Gerry O'Brien's narration really brought another level of engagement to the story.

A Trip Back To My Childhood

An absolutely wonderful telling of one my favourite books from my younger years. I know the book so well there were times I was speaking along with Gerry and his impeccable performance. It was awesome!

Will definitely be checking out of the audiobooks in the series too. The nostalgia is real!
