Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code
Ever the resourceful young criminal mastermind, Artemis has found a way to construct a supercomputer from stolen fairy technology. Called the 'C Cube', it will render all existing human technology obsolete. Artemis arranges a meeting with a Chicago businessman, Jon Spiro, offering to suppress the Cube for one year in return for gold (his favourite substance). But the meeting is a trap, and Spiro steals the Cube and mortally injures Butler. Artemis knows his only hope to save Butler lies in fairy magic, so once again he is forced to enlist the aid of his old rival, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrepcon fairy police. This time Butler's life is at stake so Artemis, Butler's sister Juliet and Holly Short hatch a plan to steal back the Cube and ensure that Spiro is put out of business - permanently!

Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genius and, above all, a criminal mastermind: the perfect anti-hero. Artemis combines the astuteness of Sherlock Holmes with the sangfroid of James Bond and the attitude of Attila the Hun. But even Artemis doesn't realise what he has taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories. These fairies are armed and they're dangerous. Artemis thinks he's got them just where he wants them, but then they stop playing by the rules...
