One of them isn't strictly "new" (being from July 2004) but it does mention a few things which haven't really been discussed before. It's on The Reading Room.

I guess they must've have put it up by mistake - afterall, "Half-Moon Investigations" hasn't even been published yet so it'd be a little bit unusual to have a cover for the next book, especially as it's not due out until September.

There now appear to be several different synopses floating around. Whilst they outline the same basic plot, some of them give small details that the others do not.
For example, here is the one from GoHastings.com (where they actually list the book as "Artemis Fowl: the Entity", but lack a cover)

Known for the lengthy "A Twist of Fate", she already has quite a following in the fandom. Therefore, I felt it would be appropriate to publicise her latest fanfic - "Silver to Rust" - as it would come under the fandom part of this Blog's description.

Amazon.co.uk has now put up the full-size cover for The Eternity Code. The need for different covers in the US and the UK suggests that there will be significant differences in their content, as it was only last year - when their contents differed - that the two areas' book covers also differed.Kitty Rainbowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11012557538859265168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003895.post-891071342003-02-14T19:41:00.000Z2003-02-14T19:41:37.366ZSomething very funny is going on. Amazon keeps changing the listed number of pages for The Eternity Code. Now the UK version will apparently have 352 pages, the US one will have 336 pages and the UK copies of the US version will have 288 pages.Kitty Rainbowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11012557538859265168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003895.post-887661992003-02-08T19:43:00.000Z2003-02-08T19:43:46.000ZAs Elysha kindly pointed out to me, Indigo.ca have a synopsis for The Eternity Code - and, unlike Amazon's, it is obviously not just the first book's synopsis reposted.

Twelve-year-old villain, Artemis Fowl, is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. His bold and daring plan is to hold a leprechaun to ransom; but he's taking on more than a bunch of fairies when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the Lep-Recon (lower elements Kitty Rainbowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11012557538859265168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003895.post-883237392003-01-31T13:04:00.000Z2003-01-31T13:04:37.920ZIt appears that, in fact, it will only be American fans who're going to miss out this year - according to Amazon.co.uk the UK release date for The Eternity Code has been moved forward to May 1st. This means that UK fans will be able to read the book on the same day as US fans... but the US version is still only 288 pages to the UK's 336.

He also reports that filming on the Artemis Fowl movie should begin in May or June this year, and that Miramax have taken up the option of turning one of his other books into a film - The Wish List.

The US version only has 288.
Last year, the US received their version of The Arctic Incident early... but at a small price. There was no code, and several pieces of prose were removed.
