Artemis Fowl scheint sich verrechnet zu haben. Dabei ist eigentlich alles bestens vorbereitet. Er steht mitten im spanischen Barcelona, sein Leibwachter halt ihm aus Sorge vor Scharfschutzen den Rucken frei, eine Storanlage soll verhindern, dass die Touristen den Damonen aus der Unterwelt mit ihren Videos filmen konnen. Und dann passiert einfach -- nichts! Zunachst zumindest. Denn dann taucht der Damon unter lautem Heulen auf, materialisiert sich und reit Artemis mit sich in ein Zeitloch und damit in die Unterwelt. Glucklicherweise wird der Meisterdieb wieder ausgespuckt, alle Gliedmaen funktionieren tadellos (auch wenn zwei Finger vertauscht sind). Aber dies ist nur die erste Storung zwischen den Ebenen. Denn die grimmigen Damonen scheinen ihre Insel Hybras in der Unterwelt verlassen zu wollen. Artemis muss sich einen von ihnen schnappen, um herauszufinden, was die Ordnung zwischen den Welten bedroht. Dabei kommt ihm Minerva Palazzo in die Quere: ein hyperintelligentes Madchen, das ganz eigene Ziele zu verfolgen scheint und doch bald mit Artemis zusammenarbeitet. Beim Kampf gegen die Damonen wird Artemis allerdings selbst aus der Bahn geworfen. Wird es ihm gelingen, wieder auf die Erdoberflache zuruckzukehren? Nach Das Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl - Die Verschworung, Artemis Fowl - Der Geheimcode und Artemis Fowl - Die Rache ist Artemis Fowl - Die verlorene Kolonie das funfte Abenteuer rund um den genialen, aber auch etwas eingebildeten jugendlichen Gauner Artemis Fowl (wenn man das Fan-Buch Artemis Fowl - Die Akte mit zwei neuen Geschichten nicht mitzahlt). Und, was soll man sagen: Mit seinen phantastischen Erfindungen, Zwergen, Elfen und Trollen ist es wieder einmal groartig gelungen. Nicht nur fur eingefleischte Fowl-Fans ist Die verlorene Kolonie wieder beste Unterhaltung. Und, nebenbei bemerkt, diesmal auch fur all jene, die schon immer wissen wollten, was den spanischen Architekten Antonio Gaudi bei der phantastischen Architektur seiner Casa Mila in Barcelona inspiriert hat. -- Stefan Kellerer, Literaturanzeiger.de
