Summary Of The Book
Artemis Fowl And The Lost Colony New Ed Edition continues to narrate the adventures of Artemis Fowl, who was once a teenage criminal mastermind. The series recounts how humans and fairies were involved in a great battle hundred centuries ago. When the fairies comprehended that their struggle against humans was pointless, they withdrew to the underground. But demons, who also battled against humans, stayed behind and attempted to reorganize an attack against the humans. Their attempt is foiled and the demons ended up in Limbo, getting stewed for the last ten thousand years. However, the spell holding them down is weakening and the world is at the verge of a grand demonic invasion. It again befalls Artemis Fowl and his pal, Captain Holly Short, to save their people.

Artemis later finds out that the girl is his rival, a twelve-year old French prodigy who identifies herself as Minerva Paradizo. As Artemis predicts, a confused demon called No1 appears at the theatre and he is immediately captured by Minerva and her henchmen.
