    <body><![CDATA[Colfer is one of my favorite authors. And he has a winner here. I even hope he decides to make this a series because he has indicated he would be taking a few years off from writing the Artemis Fowl series.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the former sixth-grade teacher from Ireland has written a cross between...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53693890">more...</a>]]></body>

As author of The Wish List, The Supernaturalist, Half Moon Investigations, and The Artemis Fowl series, he now can add Airman to his ever growing list. Airman is about Conor Broekhart.
