Part of Artemis Fowl, book 7
First published 2010
Artemis Fowl arrives in Iceland for a climate conference with an ambitious plan to combat global warming using fairy technology. But something has gone terribly wrong with the teenage criminal mastermind. His fairy allies notice immediately that Artemis behaves strangely, almost kindly. The fairies quickly diagnose him with Atlantis Complex, a magical form of obsessive compulsive disorder caused by excessive exposure to fairy magic. His brilliant criminal mind has been damaged by his years of dabbling in supernatural forces. Captain Holly Short faces an impossible situation. Vicious robots have begun attacking subterranean volcanoes, threatening all life on Earth. The crisis demands the cunning and ruthless intelligence that made Artemis famous, but the real Artemis seems trapped inside his fractured psyche. Holly must find a way to restore her former enemy to his devious self before the mechanical invaders complete their destructive mission.
