Highfire is funny, menacing and unlike anything else I've read recently * BookPage Magazine * Having grown up reading the Artemis Fowl books and absolutely loving them, I just had to read Eoin's first adult fantasy book and it did not disappoint! . . . This book is dark, brutal and violent at times, but also filled with hope and finding where you belong. * The Tsundoku Chronicles * Colfer has come up with something new here, a real genre-blending treat, and I applaud him for it * Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones on HIGHFIRE * A twisty, tongue-in-cheek fantasy that's part thriller, part action movie, and wholly irreverent. . . . Colfer's catchy narrative voice suits the characters and their setting perfectly, capturing Vern's world-weary nature, Squib's youthful adaptability, and Hooke's malicious cunning. This no-holds-barred yarn is good fun from start to finish * Publishers Weekly * A fun, unusual contemporary fantasy that doesn't skimp on violence *

Chi e Artemis Fowl? Un genio? Certo, visto che gioca con la tecnologia come altri giocherebbero con i soldatini. Un criminale? Indubbiamente, non a caso discende da un'illustre stirpe di malfattori. Ma Artemis e soprattutto colui che ha ideato il colpo piu audace di questo secolo: impadronirsi dell'oro che il Piccolo Popolo custodisce gelosamente da millenni. Questo, dunque, e il racconto della sua guerra privata con fate, folletti, gnomi e troll e, soprattutto, con la superpoliziotta elfica Spinella Tappo.
