Double the Artemis, Double the Fun
Teenage Artemis has grown from his adventures and developed a conscience. No longer is he the brilliant, yet lonely boy that we met in the first book of the series. But has Artemis lost his edge?
If the teenage Artemis were to be pitted against his younger, more ruthless self, which one would prevail? This is the question posed in Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox.
