Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox

Movie available from June 12th only on Disney+ 
 
Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox is the sixth book in the criminally good Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer. 
 
FORMER CRIMINAL MASTERMIND ARTEMIS FOWL HAS HOODWINKED FAIRIES AND BATTLED GOBLINS 
 
THIS TIME, IT'S PERSONAL 
 
Artemis's mother is gravely ill. Unfortunately the cure, an endangered lemur, was made extinct eight years ago . . . by Artemis Fowl. Talk about awkward. 
 
What if he could travel back in time, outwit his former self and bring the lemur home? With the right demon warlock, it might be possible. 
 
But we all remember the young Artemis. He was, to put it mildly, a pretty terrible human being, so this won't be easy. 
 
Artemis Fowl really is his own worst enemy . . .

SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH ARTEMIS FOWL 
 
When he gathers the fairy elite to show off his latest invention, it's clear that the former criminal genius has become delusional and paranoid.

Artemis has the Atlantis Complex, a disease that is causing him to lose his mind. And things get worse when a deadly attack is launched against an underwater fairy city.
