Other books by Eoin Colfer
The Artemis Fowl series is just a part of the always-growing collection of books by Eoin Colfer. Here are some of those many of the AF readers may be interested in. I have read none, so descriptions were obtained from the sites mentioned.
The Supernaturalist
Published on: 2004
In Satellite City, the city of the future, the rooftops are patrolled by the Supernaturalists. These are groups of teenagers whose sixth sense has been awakened by a combination of the chemical fog that hangs over the city and near death experience. The Supernaturalists are the only ones who can see the ghostly blue creatures that infest the entire city, feeding on human life force. They decide to save humanity by blasting these parasites with their LR2s. It shouldn't be too difficult, all they have to do is track down and vapourise thousands of supernatural creatures and avoid becoming prey themselves.
