Artemis Fowl the Second has a brilliant plan--one last scheme to make his family some money, then he'll leave the crime life behind him and turn over a new leaf. Everything starts out fine, with Artemis meeting with billionaire businessman Jon Spiro to discuss a mutually agreeable arrangement. Artemis, you see, has developed the C Cube, a mini-supercomputer that can do almost anything. For the right price, Artemis will withhold releasing the Cube to the public to allow Spiro's company to catch up in the technology world. All seems well, until Spiro steals the Cube, his bodyguard, Blunt, fatally wounds Butler, and Artemis is left wondering how it all went wrong.

What follows is Artemis's desperate plea to the fairies to help heal Butler and rescue the C Cube from evil Spiro, before he becomes aware of the Fairy World and wreaks havoc on the creatures living below ground. As Captain Holly Short is once again drawn into one of Artemis's dangerous schemes, she does so, along with Commander Root, with one condition--when the C Cube is recovered, Artemis, Butler, and Butler's sister, Juliet, will all submit to mind wipes, erasing every trace of the fairies from their memories. Artemis agrees, desperate to save Butler's life, but already he has plans to avoid the erasure of a mind wipe.

THE ETERNITY CODE contains a lot more action-adventure than the two previous books, and a lot less of the world of Fairy. It is, though, still a very fast-paced, enjoyable read, and I'm left wanting to know what will happen next. Thoroughly entertaining, and highly recommended. ( )

Artemis Fowl is back in this interesting story, except this time he's about to hang up his maniacal schemes and go for a fresh start with his father. On one last scheme before his fresh start though, Artemis finds himself playing into a trap, when John Spiro tricks Artemis into giving up a piece of fairy technology - the C Cube. To get it back, Artemis has to exchange his memory of the fairy people for their help to save his friend Butler from death, and show John Spiro that he messed around with the wrong 13-year-old boy...

Despite being the third in the Artemis Fowl series it is the last I read and I think it is my favourite. It is a wonderful mix of magical and technological, criminal and legal. ( )

Another wonderfully rendered audiobook with a top notch voice actor, Nathaniel Parker certainly does a very admirable job bringing us the continuing adventures of Artemis Fowl.

In this third volume of the series we find Artemis questioning his "gold is power" theory both because of the influence of his fairy friends and the new disposition of his returned father. However, Artemis is determined to make one last venture before he gives up his criminal ways. To do this he has called a meeting with American cyber criminal, John Spiro. But when things go fatally awry Artemis has to make an emergency call to the LEP to both save Butler's life and possibly the very secrets of the fairy underground itself.

As always, this story is filled with action, great characters and lots of twists and turns. The ending seemed a bit melancholy to me and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next in "The Opal Deception". ( )

Thirteen-yr-old Artemis Fowl' father comes back after being held prisoner for two years. He is changed and vows to turn his back on a life of crime. Artemis decides to go on a last mission before following his father. He meets with Jon Spiro and asks for gold in return for keeping his C Cube away from the public for one year. Artemis designed the C Cube using fairy technology and is fifty years advance than current communication technology. Spiro tricks Artemis and takes the cube. In the struggle, Spiro's bodyguard, Arno Blunt, shot and killed Artemis' protector and friend, Domovoi Butler. Quick-thinking Artemis froze Butler's body in the fish freezer in a matter of minutes, hoping cryogenics will be able to bring his friend back to life. He sent a coded message to the underground fairy world and Captain Holly Short. Holly makes Butler alive again. Now Artemis, Holly and Juliet, Butler's sister will have to work together to get the cube back or the life of every creature on the planet and underground is at risk. Artemis agrees to give up his fairy memories in a mind sweep in return for the fairies' help. Is he really letting go of those memories? Colfer's narration is so hilariously funny you want to read the book over and over again. Very entertaining!!! ( )
