Goblins are transporting batteries from somewhere aboveground, clearly trading with the Mud Men (people) - which is most illegal. Meanwhile, underground, (fairy) Captain Holly Short discovers some insidious goblin activity while on stakeout. He has to think of a plan to free him quickly and on the sly. One thing Artemis II knows for sure is that the Mafiya won't leave him or his father alive even if they deliver the money. Russian Mafiya found Artemis senior in an Arctic shipwreck and are asking for ransom. In THE ARCTIC INCIDENT, Butler springs Artemis Fowl out of boarding school to save his kidnapped father. Of special note to parents who don't enjoy potty humor nearly as much as their kids: The gassy dwarf is back and more lethal than ever. He has brief moments of humility and respect for those around him, including the fairies he'd made enemies of in the last book. The 13-year-old criminal mastermind, Artemis Fowl, softens up a bit in this one. An injured man is kidnapped after he nearly drowns in a shipwreck there's mention that his leg had to be amputated.
German shepherds threaten attack, a finger is amputated (and reattached with magic), and an explosion blows a hole through a fairy wing. Some bad guys betray their own and kill them with guns, once at close range to the back of the head. Still, a few bad guys go down, one from a kind of electric shock, and another falls in lava.
As with the first book, Artemis Fowl, there's a whole lot of fantasy action violence here, but major bloodshed is averted in a climactic battle with the help of sophisticated fairy weaponry that knocks enemies unconscious instead of killing them. A graphic novel version is also available, as well as a movie of the first two books joined together set for release in 2020.
Parents need to know that The Arctic Incident is the second book of eight in the Artemis Fowl storyline. Commander Root smokes fungus cigars often, Russian Mafiya men smoke.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Drinking, Drugs & Smoking in your kid's entertainment guide.
