Publisher's summary

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, 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.

Artemis Fowl at its Finest

These books are excellent and very well played out. I remember them from my childhood and continue to enjoy them.

I hope this isn't the end!

I have loved the entire collection. If you liked the first two, this one is a guarantee. I won't ruin it for you, but this ending is great! Don't think about it, get it! And if you haven't read the first two, stop, go back and start with Artemis Fowl. You just can't start here, and you wouldn't want to. The first two are necessary reads to get the most out of this one, and true delight to read to boot.

Amazing Character Development.

You have no idea how many times I have read this book. I don’t either. I have lost track. This is where the Artemis Fowl series really gets good. I usually dislike listing to audiobook adaptations of books I have already read, because the narrator never does the character voices how I imagined them, but Nathaniel Parker has done a fantastic job.


Do yourself a favor and read this series.

I love these stories

I have enjoyed this whole series! I stared listening with my son for his AR and decided that I truly enjoy this story as well. We continue to listen. I think they are also making a movie so even more of a reason to listen to all of these books first!

Fun continuation to a great series

This time Artemis and his trusted friend, Butler, are in over their heads, but not with the People, a secret race of magical creatures. I enjoy the Artemis Fowl series and this book delivers another fun adventure and some introspection in our mad genius anti-hero. A fun read but I’d recommend reading the series in order. Enjoy (cause I sure did)! Thanks Eoin, someday I hope to create a series as engaging as you have!
