    About this audiobook

    After being held prisoner for years, Artemis Fowl's father has finally come home. He is a new man--an honest man, much to Artemis's horror. He makes his son promise to give up his life of crime, and Artemis has to go along with it. But not until he has completed one last scheme.

    Artemis has constructed a super-computer from stolen fairy technology. Called the "C Cube," it will render all existing human technology obsolete. He arranges a meeting with a powerful Chicago businessman, Jon Spiro, to broker a deal for the C Cube. But Spiro springs a trap--he steals the C Cube and mortally injures Butler. Artemis knows his only hope of saving his loyal bodyguard is to employ fairy magic; so once again he must contact his old rival, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police.

    It is going to take a miracle to save Butler, and Artemis's luck may just run out. . .

    Editor's Note

    Humor & hijinks...

    There's never a dull moment with Artemis, a rich genius who’s already made a habit of running afoul (ha!) of the law at the ripe old age of twelve. Full of technologically advanced fairies, humor & hijinks.

      Do you remember when you were a child and pretend to be a fairy or fight off evil goblins? In the book Artemis Fowl #3 The Eternity Code Artemis a young prodigy with questionable motives stumbled upon a whole society of Goblins, Fairies, and elf's three years ago in the book, Artemis Fowl. The novel starts out with the fairy world trying to clean up after the B'wa kell (goblin gang) revolt which our young mastermind helped foil in the previous book. In the middle of rebuilding in a shocking change of events a human radar picks up the underworlds transmission and takes a huge chunk of faerie information. Well it turns out the device that picked up the transmission was from none other than a machine built by Artemis with stolen superior fairy technology. While the fairy is under a lock down Artemis is trying to sell his C-cube that is vastly superior to any human technology to an evil businessman named Jon Spiro who ambushes Artemis and steals the C-cube. Watch as these two worlds collide in order to save them both for if they fail there will be no more place to call home for the fairies and would cause mass hysteria in the human world. While reading this book I was thoroughly entertained throughout the entire novel. I found the book to be a great read if you are just looking for a fun series that will captivate you to the very end but not really have any greater value or meaning. The characters are extremely realistic even if she is a fairy i still felt like i could completely relate to Holly Short and her troubles though i have never had to save the world. The book was a great fun read that kept me guessing what would happen next at every flip of the page, it did exactly what it was supposed to do which was entertain. My only complaint was that it and the previous books in the series all have similar plots and it makes it much easier to predict the what will happen and is a bit repetitive as a series not as a book. I found this book to be a very enjoyable read and would recommend it to anyone just looking for a lively book to enjoy.
    • 3/5
      This is my favorite of the Artemis Fowl series. In it, Artemis is a nice mix of criminal mastermind and human. He's lost some of his immorality, but he's still got his genius.
    • 4/5
      Fun. Easy to read. I am an adult and read it with my 12 year old daughter. We read the first 2 in the series and will read the 4th.

      I really liked this series. From what I remember.
      I need to read it again. It's been so long and there are so many more books in the series.
    • 5/5
      Now this was the most like a James Bond novel, except for kids. The gadgets and the Mastermind security is out if the world. But no duh, we are dealing with technology from the underworld and not that if the Mudmen!
    • 4/5
      It has been years since I last read Artemis Fowl. And boy, it's good to be back to that world of fairies and 12 years old (well, now 14) evil masterminds.In this 3rd instalment on the series, Artemis is trying to make one last crime before he embraces his father's wish to start a clean business. While Artemis is not exactly ready to give up the shady world where he has been making his name, he will put that aside (for the time being, of course) to enjoy finally being able to spend time with his father. He has a built a device, using fairy technology, and is ready to strike a deal with Jon Spiro, a Chicago businessman (and mobster-like entrepreneur). Of course things go wrong and Artemis has to, once again, rely on the help of his fairy friends.Artemis Fowl is a young adult series, but that is very fun to read. There is a mix of fantasy and science fiction, as well as a bit of cyberpunk thrown in there. It can be very quirky and plot-y, and Artemis is a great character. Morally grey (and leaning towards evil), it is refreshing to have a hero that isn't a well of virtues. He is a genius and is arrogant about it; he uses his brains to personal gain, with no problem about being ruthless, and he is proud of it. Doesn't seem like a very likeable character, does it? But the fact is, I can't help but love him. Most of the fun of the series is about Artemis becoming a slightly better person – although still not exactly a good-doer.The Eternity Code is a nice book, maybe not as good as the first two on the series, but still very enjoyable. All the regular characters are there, not only Artemis, but also Butler, Captain Holly Short, Foaly, Mulch Diggums and Commander Root – it's really nice to encounter them again. I'm quite partial to Buttler, Holly and Foaly, but in this book Mulch was very important and I got to appreciate his character a lot more.Like I said, it has been years since I read Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident – probably close to 10 years – but it was really easy to come back to that world. If at first I couldn't recall much about some of the minor characters, three chapters into the book I had remembered it all.Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code is a really nice book. Eoin Colfer's writing is quirky and the story is fun – you never notice that time is passing while you read it. And you don't have to be an young adult to enjoy it!Also at Spoilers and Nuts
    • 4/5
      I originally reviewed this book on my blog - The Cosy Dragon. For more recent reviews by me, please hop over there.'The Eternity Code' is the third book in the Artemis Fowl series. Artemis is getting out of the criminal world now that his father is recovering, but he just can't resist one last deal. He has Butler with him - what could go wrong? Artemis has come a long way from the exploitative boy we saw in the first Artemis Fowl novel. He has developed a distinct personality shift, but is still willing to use fairy knowledge to get what he wants. His last deal could spell the end of fairy life as we know it.It's pot luck that Artemis gets Holly when he puts in a call for help. And then it's just sheer luck that it's Mulch who is sent as a hitman. But really, with Artemis' planning skills, it's hard to believe that anything takes place because of fate.Artemis has lost his Butler and must settle for another. It's really quite sad, and you find yourself feeling very sorry for both of them. They are still friends, but it's not the same relationship you saw before. Juliet isn't a bad replacement, but it's just not the same.Plot driven, racey, and totally rereadable. I think this book is the equal of the first two books, which is a nice surprise, as most series tend to peter off after the first book and its sequel. If you liked the first two, you'll like this one!A little bit more bloody than the first books, but still suitable for children. Things are remarkably bloodless - Colfer skimps on the details of bloodshed, preferring to use up his words in describing the various consciousnesses of his characters. It adds depth, and it's fascinating to see what plan Artemis can come up with next! It leaves me wondering how long it took Colfer to work out what everyone would do.The ending is to be expected, but is somewhat frustrating! Artemis has to get around everything, he must, he must! But there are no guarantees. Naturally there are more books in the series, so you know that Artemis must continue in some sort of capacity, but has he been mind-wiped too far?
    • 5/5
      I love Colfer's work; the Artemis Fowl books are his best, but his other works are a lot of fun too.
    • 5/5
      As always, I loved getting lost in the world Eoin Colfer created for this series. I still think the first book in the series is the best, but I still adored this one. It had twists and turns (Butler!!!) and kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved it so much. I would recommend this book and series. 5 out of 5 stars, easily. Can't wait to start the next one!
    • 4/5
      I read it mainly for the humor, and as far as that goes, I love Artemis (of all the characters) the best!
    • 4/5
      You know, I really like the fact that these stories don't always have just the perky, happy ending. Sometimes bad things happen. And the "good guy" in the story is not always good, either.

      Artemis is at it again, one last evil dead. The development of a revolutionary electronic device constructed of bits and pieces of leftover fairy technology. But the problem, of course, is someone wants to steal all of his thunder.

      Luckily for Artemis, this includes fairy technology so the fairies will come to his rescue again.

      The Artemis Fowl stories take you on a bit of a roller coaster ride every time you read them. It won't matter if you have already read the story. You are going to feel like you have been flipped upside down and wrung out.

      They are fun reads, although I would recommend using caution in presenting them to younger readers. Some of the content may be a bit mature for some middle-grade readers.
    • 3/5
      Reasonably entertaining, some plot holes. I do not care for the idea of glorifying criminal activity, even for "likeable" young people who learn some kind of positive lesson along the way.
    • 4/5
      More fun with Artemis Fowl. I thought I'd be sick of reading, after doing it all weekend, but apparently not. And the Artemis Fowl books really are good train reading.

      In a way, it's pretty much the same as the previous books -- a fun romp that doesn't require too much thought, basically. All the characters we know and love show up again. I particularly liked Juliet's part. I'm amazed at what happened to Butler in this book, I'm really interested in how his role is going to change as a result. I hope it doesn't just get magically reversed now I'm invested in it.

      Interested to see how it goes on. But I think I'll wait a while before reading the rest -- I think I could easily get sick of these books.
    • 5/5
      Summary: In the book Artemis Fowl the Eternity Code, Artemis designs and builds a cube from a mixture of fairy and human technology (mostly fairy). He calls his cube the C Cube. The C Cube is decades ahead of any human technology and can do anything from play music to hack government computers. However, when Artemis’ attempt to threaten a powerful businessman goes terribly wrong his cube is stolen and Butler is mortally injured. To save him Artemis has to do some quick thinking and get the help of his friend Holly. Also Artemis has to go to America and take back his cube before Jon Spiro can figure out how to use it, because if he does then the whole fairy world will be discovered. To stop him Artemis has to team up with Holly, Mulch, Butler (if he lives), and Foaly. If they don’t it could be the end of the fairy world.Review: I think Artemis Fowl the Eternity Code is a great book. This book was probably my favorite book in the whole Artemis Fowl series. I would recommend it for anyone from 6th grade and up who likes books filled with suspense, action, and humor. This book keeps you on your feet from the very beginning and makes you want to keep reading. One other think that I like about this book is that the villain in this book is a human and not a fairy like it is in all the other books so most of it takes place on the earth and not under it. It is also the first book where Artemis and Holly are friends from the very beginning. I loved this book and would recommend for others to read.
    • 4/5
      I read it, and I liked it.
    • 4/5
      Artemis Fowl's adventures with fairies, elves and other magical creatures along with plenty of human bad guys in The Eternity Code easily lives up to the promise of the earlier Artemis Fowl books. In his criminal escapades, Artemis inadvertently reveals the existence of fairies and he must join forces again with Holly Short, Mulch Diggums, and the LEP squad to prevent a greedy criminal from exposing magical creatures to the world at large. As Artemis interacts with his former nemeses, it is interesting to see how he has developed and evolved as a character, being more like a typical young boy. The Eternity Code is a fun read, recommended to fans of YA fantasy or those who enjoyed other books in this series.
    • 3/5
      i feel this kinda a bad book it is worse the its previous books and it has a lot of action and fantasy. don't really waste your time on the book
    • 3/5
      Summary: Artemis is pleased to have both of his parents alive and well (or at least on the mend), but he realizes that parental supervision will likely cut short his criminal extra-curricular activities. So, he plans one last big operation: He's taken some fairy technology and used it to create a computing device that is decades beyond anything humans currently have. His plan is to dangle this technology in front of Jon Spiro, the CEO of one of the world's largest computing and communication companies, and then extort Spiro for large amounts of cash in exchange for keeping the cube off the market. However, things start going wrong - deadly wrong - when Spiro manages to outsmart Artemis and steals the cube. Once again, Artemis and the fairy folk must work together to recover the stolen cube or risk losing everything.Review: I've been listening to the Artemis Fowl books as a fun, light break from other reading, and thus far I've been enjoying them. However, I didn't feel like The Eternity Code lived up to the precedent set by the first two books. There was still plenty of action and adventure and cracking wise, which was good, but I didn't feel like the danger was as dangerous or the criminal mastermind plans so mastermind-y. The characters admit that it will take Spiro's people a while to crack the cube's code, so there isn't really a sense of urgency about Artemis's attempt to steal the cube back from Spiro's clutches. Similarly, there was barely a facet/twist of either Spiro's or Artemis's various schemes that I didn't see coming from a mile away. There were some nice character moments, and it's interesting to watch how Artemis has changed since a few books ago... but I want my heist stories to feel slick, and this one didn't quite make it there. Also, a note to authors setting a book primarily in a city with which they are not personally acquainted: have a local read your story *before* it goes to press, or else face the wrath of local readers who will undoubtedly catch your errors *after* it's gone to press. Most crime lords don't have lairs on the East Side of Chicago, because the "East Side" of Chicago is Lake Michigan, and referring to "Chicago state law" is enough to make geography teachers weep. Similarly, while I generally like Nathaniel Parker's narration - he's good with the various voices and the UK accents (at least to my uncultured ear) - his attempt at a Chicago mobster accent was almost laughably bad. 3 out of 5 stars.Recommendation: The Eternity Code was still an entertaining read, despite being the weakest of the series so far... but it did at least leave me curious to see how Colfer would carry on in the next book.
    • 5/5
      Artemis uses fairy technology to create a supercomputer, the C Cube. Unfortunately, it is stolen by a Chicago businessman, Jon Spiro, and Butler is mortally wounded. Artemis enlists the fairy people to save Butler and recover the stolen technology. Another enthralling tale, but I am distressed at the permanent changes that have been wreaked upon Butler. At the end of this adventure, the fairies have decided that the safest course where Artemis Fowl is concerned is to wipe the minds of him and his people. Butler's sister Juliet has a larger role in this book, and she has become a most intriguing character herself.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this third installment of Artemis Fowl. More then a few times I found myself cackling and shaking my head at the quirky characters, the sharp, smart comebacks and the awesome generalizations made on what could otherwise be some scary characters. This was definitely a worth-while addition to the series and the nice little cliff-hanger at the end has me ready to jump into the next book.
    • 2/5
      This was a cool book. I liked it at least as much as the first one, I think.
    • 3/5

      5/10.

      The further adventures of Artemis Fowl. This time a mainly human based adventure as someone steals the fairy-technology based computer that Fowl has been developing.

    • 5/5
      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...
    • 4/5
      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".
    • 4/5
      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!!!
    • 5/5
      Very good setting+plot, exciting
    • 4/5
      Another smash hit in the Artemis Fowl series. I'm hooked on these. It's amazing what gems await in Young Fiction. Enjoying Harry Potter really opened my eyes. These are light and entertaining yet have a good moral message at the center.
