This is the third book in the series. Artemis Fowl has constructed a super-computer from stolen fairy technology. In the wrong hands it could be fatal for humans and fairies alike. But no need to worry, Artemis has a brilliant plan. He's not going to use it; he's just going to show it to a ruthless American businessman with Mafia connections. His bodyguard, Butler, will be with him. What could possibly go wrong?

The second book in the popular series; Ireland's answer to Harry Potter! Someone had been supplying Class A illegal human power sources to the goblins. Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit is sure that her arch-enemy, thirteen-year-old Artemis Fowl, is responsible. But is he? Artemis has his own problems to deal with: his father is being held to ransom and only a miracle will save him. Maybe this time a brilliant plan just won't be enough. Maybe this time Artemis needs help … This is a fast-moving, clever, imaginative and hugely-enjoyable read for adults young and old

Artemis Fowl is the book that caused a sensation months before it was even published. This exciting, original novel has captured the imagination of film companies, publishers, the press and readers all over the world.
Twelve year-old Artemis Fowl is a brilliant criminal mastermind. But even Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These are the fairies of bedtime stories. These fairies are armed and they're dangerous. Artemis thinks he's got them just where he wants them, but then they stop playing by the rules …a brilliantly realized parallel world, this book has redefined the fairytale and done Harry Potter one better!
(I have 1 copy of the first edition, signed copy of the first Artemis Fowl book only - priced at 250 Euro.)
