The Eternity Code

This is the third book in the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer. This book used to be my favorite one in the series purely because of the well-thought storyline, but some time and one new book later, some of the shine wore off. The emphasis on high-tech fairy gadgets remains, as well as the ingenious use of Artemis', well, genius. Although the series was meant to be a trilogy, the rather sad ending contains a bit of a cliffhanger, and leaves one itching to read the fourth book.

Plot summary: Artemis is back at it again with his criminal deeds! However, his newfound family is making this his last adventure. After his meeting with an American businessman, Jon Spiro, goes deadly wrong, he and the LEPrecon fairies (is that proper grammar?) team up again to retrieve the pirated fairy technology that Spiro now has in his megalomaniacal grasp. However, Spiro still has quite a few tricks up his white suit sleeves.
