Colfer, Eion. Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code. New York, New York: Scholastic Inc. 2003. 309 pages. (Fantasy Series/Humor)Once again Artemis Fowl gets himself and Butler, his bodyguard, into great peril. He has constructed a device out of stolen fairy technology and is willing to lend it to an American business typhoon, Jon Spiro, for 1 million dollars. Jon Spiro is a billionaire that owns a large technology business, Fission Chips, in Chicago that has many ties to the Chicago Mafia. They met up in an expensive sea food restaurant called En Fin. Artemis shows Jon Spiro and his bodyguard, Arno Blunt, the C Cube: a device built in cell phone, micro computer, Omni sensor, hacking device and tracer. But the calmness of the restaurant was only an illusion, Jon Spiro had hired every worker and bystander in the restaurant to spring a trap on Artemis. He shoots Butler and takes the C Cube. Artemis asks Captain Holly Short of the L.E.P. recon unit to heal Butler and help retrieve the C Cube. Holly only does this on one condition…
This book had a pleathera of suspense and drama. I would definitely recommend this book to all who would like to go on an epic adventure of magic and technology, but inside the comfort of your own home. The most suspenseful moment was when Holly only had seconds to cut off Jon Spiro’s finger for the gel scanner. I am rating this book a three and a half out of five.
