Artemis Fowl - The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer (Puffin Books, £12.99)
THINGS are changing for Artemis Fowl, and not all are for the best. He must resign himself to going straight!
With his father rescued from the Russian Mafia and his mother determined to lead a normal life, Artemis has one last chance to wreak havoc.
A meeting has been arranged in an expensive London restaurant with ruthless operator Jon Spiro, the man with the money behind a huge communications business, who is adept at putting companies out of action.
Artemis has something that could put Spiro out of business, but for once, he has out-manoeuvred himself and becomes the target of an assassin's gun.
Written in his usual humourous and wicked style, The Eternity Code, the latest offering from Eoin Colfer is hugely entertaining, quirky and fun.
Written for children, it is as gripping as Harry Potter, but I defy a fun-loving adult not to enjoy every word.
The inventiveness of the gadgets and the wit in the vocabulary make this book a must-have for addicts of Artemis Fowl.
