Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident is the second book in the epicly good Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer. Criminal Mastermind Artemis Fowl never stops scheming . . . Artemis's father has been missing for almost two years. His location? The Arctic Circle, where the Russian Mafiya are holding him prisoner. Now Artemis must execute a daring rescue operation to get his father back. But that's not his only problem. Since abducting one of an underground race of armed and dangerous fairies, Artemis has become their prime suspect for any human wrongdoing. Elfin Captain Holly Short has accused him of supplying illegal human power cells (aka AAA batteries) to the goblin gangs. There's going to be a terrifying uprising - but at least it will get Artemis away from his computer and he'll meet some new people. It's just a pity most of them want to kill him.

Another adventure with Artemis and his trusty bodyguard/servant, Butler. Artemis is scheming again, but along the way, he ends up part of another fairy LEP project and might have a chance to save his father.
There are some real gems in this story as we get to know the main characters better (they have time to become a little more complex) and minor characters from the first story gain more color and larger roles.
Just like the first book in the series, I'd recommend this to all readers at this lexile.
Short review: This is the second of the Artemis Fowl series. Good character development, continued action sequences, a more human Artemis and an ending that makes me want to read the next book. Overall good book.

I enjoyed this second book in the Artemis Fowl series. I especially liked how Artemis, Butler, Holly and Commander Root worked together to save the day. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, The Eternity Code.
