Eoin Colfer - The Legend Of Spud Murphy
Will and his brother Marty are doomed to spend their holidays in the libary.
Eoin Colfer - Highfire
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series comes a hilarious and high-octane adult novel about a vodka-drinking, Flashdance-loving dragon who lives an isolated life in the bayous of Louisiana—and the raucous adventures that ensue when he crosses paths with a fifteen-year-old troublemaker on the run from a crooked sheriff.
In the days of yore, he flew the skies and scorched angry mobs—now he hides from swamp tour boats and rises only with the greatest reluctance from his Laz-Z-Boy recliner. Laying low in the bayou, this once-magnificent fire breather has been reduced to lighting Marlboros with nose sparks, swilling Absolut in a Flashdance T-shirt, and binging Netflix in a fishing shack. For centuries, he struck fear in hearts far and wide as Wyvern, Lord Highfire of the Highfire Eyrie—now he goes by Vern. However...he has survived, unlike the rest. He is the last of his kind, the last dragon. Still, no amount of vodka can drown the loneliness in his molten core. Vern’s glory days are long gone. Or are they?
A canny Cajun swamp rat, young Everett “Squib” Moreau does what he can to survive, trying not to break the heart of his saintly single mother. He’s finally decided to work for a shady smuggler—but on his first night, he witnesses his boss murdered by a crooked constable.
Regence Hooke is not just a dirty cop, he’s a despicable human being—who happens to want Squib’s momma in the worst way. When Hooke goes after his hidden witness with a grenade launcher, Squib finds himself airlifted from certain death by…a dragon?
The swamp can make strange bedfellows, and rather than be fried alive so the dragon can keep his secret, Squib strikes a deal with the scaly apex predator. He can act as his go-between (aka familiar)—fetch his vodka, keep him company, etc.—in exchange for protection from Hooke. Soon the three of them are careening headlong toward a combustible confrontation. There’s about to be a fiery reckoning, in which either dragons finally go extinct—or Vern’s glory days are back.
A triumphant return to the genre-bending fantasy that Eoin Colfer is so well known for, Highfire is an effortlessly clever and relentlessly funny tour-de-force of comedy and action.

Eoin Colfer - Tim und das Geheimnis von Knolle Murphy
Tims Eltern reicht's: Nicht nur dass das Haus ständig voller lärmender Kinder ist (2 Freunde je Sohn macht immerhin 15 Kinder), Mamas Make-up als Kriegsbemalung zweckentfremdet wird, muss auch noch alle drei Wochen der Sanitärdienst anrücken, um die Klospülung zu reparieren. Diese Sommerferien sollen endlich mal sinnvoll genutzt werden und deshalb werden Tim und sein älterer Bruder Marty dazu verdonnert, drei Stunden pro Tag in der städtischen Bibliothek zu verbringen. Um sich zu bilden, wie die Eltern sagen. Die beiden sind entsetzt. Weiß doch jeder, dass Knolle Murphy in der Bibliothek mit strengem Regiment regiert, ausgerüstet mit zwei Gas-Druck-Pistolen, mit denen sie Kartoffeln auf ungehorsame Kinder schießt. Als den beiden dann obendrein nur erlaubt wird, die langweiligen Bücher aus der Kinderbuchecke zu lesen, überwinden sie ihre Angst und hecken einen Plan aus. Aber Knolle Murphy ist nicht von gestern und kommt ihnen immer wieder auf die Schliche. Bis die drei fast Freunde werden, Tim und Marty ihre Lust am Lesen entdecken, passiert eine ganze Menge in dieser ausgesprochen vergnüglich erzählten Geschichte von Eoin Colfer.
Tony Ross hat die urkomischen Szenen treffend und mit sicherem Strich ins Bild gesetzt
Eoin Colfer - Meglőve
Daniel McEvoy egy züllött New Jersey-i kaszinó kidobóembere, akinek napi szinten kell megbirkóznia kellemetlen vendégeikkel, eszelős szomszédjával és egyre súlyosbodó kopaszodásával. De ez mind semmi, egyszer csak tényleg beüt a krach. Egy nap ugyanis rejtélyesen felszívódik orvos barátja, a megbízhatatlan Zeb Kronski, ráadásul egykori barátnőjét, a kaszinós hoszteszként dolgozó Connie-t golyóval a fejében találják.
A lágy szívű, de azért keménykötésű Dannek olyan bűntényt próbálnak a nyakába varrni, amit nem is követett el. Miközben megpróbál kibújni az egyre szoruló hurokból, az egyetlen szövetségese egy zsarugyilkos rendőrnő lesz, az ellensége pedig egy kíméletlen drogdíler, és Dan rádöbben, hogy sokkal égetőbb problémái vannak, mint a kopaszodás elleni harca.
Az Artemis Fowl-regényeiről ismert Eoin Colfer szellemes és ellenállhatatlan bemutatkozása a krimi műfajában.
Eoin Colfer - Plugged
In the tradition of Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen, Plugged tells the story of Daniel McEvoy, an Irish bouncer at a seedy New Jersey club. Daniel has a problem. Well, he has several, but the worst is that the girl he loves was just murdered. Then more people around him start dying--and not of natural causes. Suddenly Daniel's got the mob, cops, and an unstable lovesick neighbor after him, and the only clue points towards the crooked doctor who gave him hair implants before vanishing into thin air. Luckily--or perhaps unluckily--he has the help of a volatile detective, a permanently hungover army psychologist, and a mischievous ghost.
In Plugged, Colfer, beloved by millions for his Artemis Fowl series, has written a hilarious tour de force thriller of head-spinning plot twists, compulsive in the tradition of Carl Hiaasen's best work--a "pitch-perfect comic noir" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Complete with the best banter this side of Elmore Leonard's Detroit, Plugged will leave you shocked, awed, and wanting more.

Eoin Colfer - The Eternity Code
Artemis Fowl II, criminal mastermind, is now stuck at a boarding school, but that still doesn't stop him from carrying out his dirty plans, and after this, he's going straight. He's 13 years old. He has constructed a supercomputer, the C Cube, from stolen fairy technology, which makes all other human technology obsolete. Though the technology he harnessed is outdated below ground, the cube he creates is still better than any human supercomputer by about five decades.
When Fowl meets Chicago businessman Jon Spiro to show him the Cube, things go horribly wrong. Spiro ambushes Fowl, steals the Cube, and almost kills Butler, his bodyguard. However, Fowl manages to revive him with the aid of cryogenics and fairy healing magic, courtesy of Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon squad.
Unfortunately, the healing does not work as planned, leaving Butler alive, but fifteen years older, and unable to carry out his duties as a bodyguard. However, his sister, Juliet agrees to help Fowl recover the stolen computer. With the aid of the rest of the LEPrecon team, and kleptomaniac dwarf Mulch Diggums, they break into Spiro's company, Fission Chips, and begin their mission.
Spiro is quite a challenging opponent, even for Artemis Fowl. He has almost insane security on everything: Fingerprint scanners, armed thugs, the Mafia – and that's just for starters. But he's still no match for the fairies, and soon Fowl has the Cube back, and is working on yet another scheme.
The fairies have discovered by now that Fowl is too dangerous a foe, and fearing their safety, they make Artemis agree to a mind wipe in exchange for getting the cube back. His memory is wiped of everything fairy-related, but he has a plan to return. He gives Mulch Diggums a coin with a hole in it covered with gold leaf. However, it is actually a disc with information to let Artemis revive his memories and knowledge of the existence of the People and will play a vital role in the fourth book.

Eoin Colfer - Artemis Fowl és az örökkód
Artemis Fowl csodagyerek, Írország szülöttje. Briliáns elméjét bűncselekmények kiagyalásának szenteli. Mikor Artemis felfedezi a föld alatt rejtőző tündértársadalmat, rögtön meglátja benne az aranyfényben pompázó lehetőséget. Egy teljesen új létforma képviselőit vezetheti immár orruknál fogva és zsákmányolhatja ki zseniális trükkjeivel. Hanem Artemis nem tud annyit a tündérek Népéről, mint képzeli. És ez a nemtudás még bajt hozhat rá… Eoin (ejtsd, mint az Owen nevet – egyszerűbb, mint ahogy kinéz, mi?) Colfer Wexfordban, Délkelet-Írországban született és nevelkedett. Az kissé titokzatos, hogyan vált Artemis Fowl hivatalos életírójává. Colfer esküszik rá, hogy a Fowl család ügyvédei keresték föl a megbízással. Artemis Fowl viszont arra esküszik, hogy még csak az Eoin Colfer nevet sem hallotta egészen addig, míg engedélye és beleegyezése nélkül meg nem jelent ez az illegális mű. Rebesgetik, hogy ők ketten találkoztak úgy két évvel ezelőtt, valahol a dublini vár alatt található katakombákban. Azt senki nem tudja, pontosan mi is történt ott, de egy Colfer-közeli forrásunk úgy értesült, hogy a szerző ősz hajjal és tökéletesen pénztelenül került elő a föld alól. Colfer ifjúsági regényei mindazonáltal szédítő sikert aratnak, akár tetszik ez Artemisnek, akár nem. Világszerte toplistákon szerepelnek és halomra nyerik a díjakat. Colfer ma is valahol Írországban él, de a pontos címet nem szeretné nyilvánossá tenni, mivel nem óhajt még egyszer találkozni Artemisszel, illetve testőrével, Butlerral.

Hirtelen mindenki Artemis Fowl segítségére szorul - pedig ő az egyetlen ember, akitől tartanak a tündérek. Artemis sorsa pedig egy szélgörcsös törpén múlik. Valóban megmentheti a világot a törpegáz?

Eoin Colfer - And Another Thing...
An Englishman's continuing search through space and time for a decent cup of tea . . .
Arthur Dent's accidental association with that wholly remarkable book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, has not been entirely without incident.
Arthur has traveled the length, breadth, and depth of known, and unknown, space. He has stumbled forward and backward through time. He has been blown up, reassembled, cruelly imprisoned, horribly released, and colorfully insulted more than is strictly necessary. And of course Arthur Dent has comprehensively failed to grasp the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.
Arthur has finally made it home to Earth, but that does not mean he has escaped his fate.
Arthur's chances of getting his hands on a decent cuppa have evaporated rapidly, along with all the world's oceans. For no sooner has he touched down on the planet Earth than he finds out that it is about to be blown up . . . again.
And Another Thing . . . is the rather unexpected, but very welcome, sixth installment of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. It features a pantheon of unemployed gods, everyone's favorite renegade Galactic President, a lovestruck green alien, an irritating computer, and at least one very large slab of cheese.

Eoin Colfer - The Lost Colony
(Artemis Fowl #5)
Ten thousand years ago, humans and fairies fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. When it became clear to the fairy families that they could never win, they decided to move their civilization underground and keep themselves hidden from the humans. All the fairy families agreed on this, except the eighth family, the demons. The demons planned to lift their small island out of time until they had regrouped and were ready to wage war on the humans once more. However, the time spell went wrong, and the island of Hybras was catapulted into Limbo, where it has remained for ten thousand years. Now the tainted time spell is deteriorating and demons are being sucked back into the present space and time. The fairy council is concerned about this and is monitoring any materializations. But when the spells deterioration accelerates, the materializations become unpredictable. Even the fairy scientists cannot figure out where the next demon will pop up. But someone can. Artemis Fowl, teenage criminal mastermind, has solved temporal equations that no normal human should be intelligent enough to understand. So when a confused and frightened demon pops up in a Sicilian theater, Artemis Fowl is there to meet him. Unfortunately, he is not the only one. A second, mysterious party has also solved the temporal equations, and has managed to abduct the demon before Artemis can secure him. Once again, Artemis will have to pair up with his old comrade, Captain Holly Short, to track down the missing demon and rescue him, before the time spell dissolves completely and the lost demon colony returns violently to Earth.

Eoin Colfer - Artemis Fowl (angol)
(Artemis Fowl #1)
Eoin Colfer describes his new book, Artemis Fowl, as "Die Hard with fairies." He's not far wrong.
Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. With two trusty sidekicks in tow, he hatches a cunning plot to divest the fairyfolk of their pot of gold. Of course, he isn't foolish enough to believe in all that "gold at the end of the rainbow" nonsense. Rather, he knows that the only way to separate the little people from their stash is to kidnap one of them and wait for the ransom to arrive. But when the time comes to put his plan into action, he doesn't count on the appearance of the extrasmall, pointy-eared Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaisance) Unit--and her senior officer, Commander Root, a man (sorry, elf) who will stop at nothing to get her back.

CÁFOLAT: Ez az ember NEM az életrajzíróm. Ő egy fantaszta, aki szenzációs történeteket ír rólam. Sem jóváhagyni, sem cáfolni nem fogom azt, amiket ebben a könyvben leírt. Viszont az ügyvédeim - és a testőröm - figyelnek. - Artemis Fowl II
Eoin Colfer - Ja, és még valami...
Egy angol úriember végeérhetetlen kutatása térben és időben egy csésze tisztességes teáért...
Arthur Dent és az egészen figyelemreméltó könyv, a Galaxis Útikalauz stopposoknak véletlen találkozása nem zajlott teljesen zökkenőmentesen. Arthur bejárta az ismert és ismeretlen tér minden zegét és zugát. Előre és hátra bukdácsolt az időben. Többször felrobbantották, újra összerakták, kegyetlenül bebörtönözték, rémségesen elengedték és sokkal cirkalmasabban sértegették, mint az szigorúan véve szükséges lett volna. És persze mindeközben alapvetően nem sikerült megragadnia az élet, a világmindenség meg minden lényegét.
Végül aztán Arthur csak hazakeveredett a Földre. Ez azonban még nem jelenti, hogy elkerülte a sorsát. Ugyanis Arthur esélye arra, hogy egy rendes csésze teát szerezzen, elpárolog a világ óceánjaival együtt, mivel amint megérkezik, megtudja, hogy a Földet fel fogják robbantani... már megint.
A Ja, és még valami... Eoin Colfer tollából a Galaxis Útikalauz stopposoknak trilógia igencsak váratlan, ám örömmel fogadott hatodik epizódja. Szerepel benne egy egész panteon munkanélküli isten, mindenki kedvenc renegát galaktikus elnöke, egy szerelmes zöld idegen, egy bosszantó számítógép és minimum egy igen nagy tábla sajt.
Douglas Adams Galaxis Útikalauz stopposoknak sorozata nagy vidámság forrása lett szerte a világon. A Ja, és még valami... szerencsétlen Arthur Dent földlakó galaktikus kóborlásainak újabb, vicces fejezete a Galaxis Útikalauz stopposoknak kiadásának harmincadik évfordulójára jelent meg, hogy a legviccesebb sorozatot olvasók új nemzedékével ismertesse meg.
Douglas Adams tervezte egy hatodik könyv megírását a sorozatba, ám sajnálatos korai halála 2001-ben megfosztotta ettől a lehetőségtől. Most, az elismert humorista és bestsellerszerző Eoin Colfer, a széles körben ismert (és igencsak félreértett) Artemis Fowl antihős megteremtője kapott felkérést, hogy ismét engedje szabadjára Arthur Dentet és Ford Prefectet térben és időben. Az egy nagy világegyetem odakint, aki nem vigyáz, azzal szinte minden megtörténhet, és általában meg is történik. Hát te is csomagold el a törülköződet, és élvezd az utazást!
A teljesen pontatlanul elnevezett trilógia kötetei:
• Galaxis Útikalauz stopposoknak
• Vendéglő a világ végén
• Az élet, a világmindenség meg minden
• Viszlát, és kösz a halakat!
• Jobbára ártalmatlan
• Ja, és még valami...

A video message from a dead person. A larcenous teenager. A man who can stick his left toe behind his head and in his ear. An epileptic girl seeking answers in a fairy tale. A boy who loses everything in World War II, and his brother who loses even more. And a family with a secret so big that it changes everything.
The world's best beloved authors each contribute a chapter in the life of the mysterious George "Gee" Keane, photographer, soldier, adventurer and enigma. Under different pens, a startling portrait emerges of a man, his family, and his gloriously complicated tangle of a life.
Eoin Colfer - The Arctic Incident
(Artemis Fowl #2)
Eoin Colfer's bestselling antihero is back in Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident--the superb sequel to the hyper-hyped Artemis Fowl, shortlisted for the Whitbread Children's Book of the Year. The Arctic Incident sees the slightly older, perhaps slightly more mellow arch-criminal Artemis recovered from his last adventure, richer now that he has his half of a hoard of fairy gold, and happier since the Clarice Starlingesque superfairy Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon returned his mother's ailing mind to full health.
But there is still much unfinished business: Artemis Fowl Sr. disappeared when a daring escapade designed to free his family from their criminal--not to mention deeply lucrative--past and move the family's assets into legitimate enterprises went horribly wrong. Held captive by the Mafiya (the Russian organized crime syndicate) for over two years, he has been declared officially dead, but Artemis Jr. knows in his heart (yes, he does have one) that his beloved father is still alive, and he is determined to find him. Meanwhile Captain Short is temporarily on assignment to Customs and Excise as punishment for letting Fowl separate her and her People from their gold and is finding her stakeout duties a little dull. It soon becomes obvious that the pair have need of each other's considerable skills, and before long they are on track for an adventure that will ultimately have far-reaching consequences for both of them.
Eoin Colfer - Artemis Fowl és az elveszett kolónia
ARTEMIS FOWL jótét lélekké vált… de csak majdnem
Minden előzetes figyelmeztetés nélkül egyre több démon ölt testet a Földön. Ha az embereknek sikerülne elfogniuk egyet, az összes tündér lelepleződne. A démonok megjelenését megjósoló kacifántos számítások között még a briliáns Kisgebe sem tud eligazodni, de ismer valakit, aki segíthet rajtuk: Artemis Fowlt.
Amikor azonban egy rendkívül zavart ördögfióka jelenik meg egy szicíliai színházban, nem Artemis az egyetlen, aki várja. Valaki más is elkezdte megfejteni a tündérvilág titkait... méghozzá egy tizenkét éves lány. Elindul a versenyfutás az idővel, és jelentős átalakulásokon keresztülmenő Artemis Fowlnak mélyen bele kell nyúlni piszkos trükkökkel teli erszényébe, ha meg akarja menteni tündér barátait a rájuk leselkedő végzettől. Ennek tetejébe még egy hataloméhes démon hadúr is megszállni készül az emberek létsíkját mindenre elszánt seregével.
