The Eternity Code

Your little schemes have a tendency to get people hurt. Usually the people who care about you.


‘aurum potestas est' — ‘Gold is power'


When the moment comes will you take your chance to be a hero?'


I never tell anybody exactly how clever I am. They would be too scared.


‘Bury you alive? That's terrible! You'd be screaming and clawing the dirt. I could get nightmares.'
‘I promise to lie still. Anyway, I deserve it. I did call you a pair of overdeveloped, single-celled Cro-Magnons.'


Artemis was well aware of his talents. He was a plotter, a schemer, a planner of dastardly deeds.


‘Mulch. Of all the fairy People, I will miss your services the most. We could have had such a future together.'
Mulch looked a touch teary. ‘True. With your brains and my special talents.'
‘Not to mention your mutual lack of morals,' interjected Holly.
‘No bank on the planet would have been safe,' completed the dwarf. ‘A missed opportunity.'


I am Artemis Fowl, the latest in the Fowl crime dynasty, and I will not be turned from my path.

I'd recommend this book to all readers at this lexile, there is so much to enjoy in this story - action, adventure, selfless action, and, of course, diabolical genius.

Read the previous books in the series first...it is not required, but it will definitely improve understanding.

I listened to this, the narrator has a fantastic accent. I really enjoy this series, it makes me smile.

Short Review: This is a good series. And this book is a good transition to what I think is going to be a series re-start. In this one, Artemis has decided to go for legal means of making money, after one last illegal deal. It goes bad, he is outsmarted and he needs Holly and the LEP to help him out. His parents are only referenced in this book. But it is clear that they will be in future books.
