S Melfi - Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code

Colfer. Eoin. Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code. New York. Hyperion Books for Children, 2003.

After being held prisoner for years, Artemis Fowl's father has finally come home. He is a new man. He makes Artemis promise to give up his life of crime, and Artemis is forced to go along with it, but not after one final scheme of his. He has created a supercomputer made from stolen fairy technology called the "C Cube". It is designed to render all existing human technology obsolete. He then arranges a meeting with a powerful businessman from Chicago, Jon Spiro, to broker a deal for the C Cube. Instead Spiro springs a trap, steals the cube, and seriously injures Artemis's butler, Butler. He knows his only hope is to employ fairy magic. So once again he must contact one of his old rivals, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police. Has Artemis's luck finally run out?… The Eternity Code is the third book of Eoin Colfers Artemis Fowl series and is a really good, easy read for anyone who's into adventure stories with some fiction and fantasy in it as well.
