Bio-bomb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Bio-bomb is a fictitious, high-tech, fairy-manufactured guided missile which appears in the Artemis Fowl book series.
The bio-bomb is made of a plastic alloy and employs the radioactive energy source Solinium II, which kills only living tissue and leaves the landscape and buildings unchanged. This makes it very similar to a neutron bomb. Used mostly in collaboration with the fairy time-stop, the bomb, nicknamed a blue rinse, can be calibrated to an exact radius; that is to say that it can explode and blue rinse an exact area, and "not a blade of grass more". Bio-bombs are used both in Artemis Fowl and Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception. In the first book, Artemis used sleeping pills to escape the time-stop and, therefore, the bio-bomb, much to the surprise and dismay of fairies.
