"Squib Moreau may be swamp-wild, but his intentions are (generally) good: he really wants to be a supportive son to his hard-working momma Elodie. But sometimes life gets in the way - like when Fake Daddy walked out on them leaving a ton of debt, or when crooked Constable Regence Hooke got to thinking pretty Elodie Moreau was just the gal for him...

Siedmy diel svetoznámej série. Artemis vložil celý majetok do projektu na záchranu planéty a jej obyvateľov. Môže to byť pravda? Skutočne sa najväčší kriminálny génius dal na dobré chodníčky?
Arthurovi Dentovi, celkom obyčajnému človiečikovi kdesi z Anglicka, raz vo štvrtok ráno prídu zdemolovať dom, vraj kvôli stavbe diaľničného obchvatu. Snaží sa tomu zabrániť bojovným polihovaním pred buldozérom, no jeden z jeho priateľov, Ford Prefect, ho viac-menej nasilu odtiahne do krčmy na tri bleskurýchle pivá, pretože sa blíži koniec sveta. Asi o 12 minút neskôr koniec sveta skutočne nastane v podobe stavebnej čaty mimozemskej rasy Vogónov, ktorí prídu zdemolovať Zem kvôli stavbe hyperpriestorovej diaľnice. Tesne pred touto, pre všetkých ostatných smrteľnou udalosťou, sa Arthur s Fordom presunú na vogónsku stavebnú loď, ktorá ich odvezie do hlbín vesmíru. Ford totiž nepochádza z Guildfordu, ako na Zemi zvyčajne tvrdil, ale z malej planéty kdesi v okolí Betelgeuze, a pracuje ako terénny prieskumník pozoruhodnej knihy s názvom Stopárov sprievodca galaxiou – akéhosi elektronického bedekra pre vesmírnych stopárov obsahujúceho všetky informácie, ktoré potrebujete, ak túžite vidieť krásy vesmíru za menej ako tridsať altairských dolárov denne.
Šiesta časť štvordielnej trilógie Douglasa Adamsa Stopárov sprievodca galaxiou. Jej autorom však tentoraz nie je Adams (pretože medzičasom zomrel), ale spisovateľ Eoin Colfer, ktorý sa skvelým spôsobom zmocnil pôvodného štýlu a dopísal šiestu časť rovnako vtipným a hravým štýlom, na nerozoznanie od pravého Adamsa.
Pre Artemisa nie sú problémy ničím novým. Dá sa povedať, že ich priam priťahuje. Ľudožraví trollovia, ozbrojení a nebezpeční (a technologicky vybavení) škriatkovia, goblini chrliaci plamene – s tým všetkým sa už stretol. Rozhodol sa pustiť do kriminálnej činnosti väčšmi spätej s mágiou. Lenže... Jeho matka je teraz smrteľne chorá. Artemis Fowl musí cestovať späť do minulosti, aby ukradol liek z rúk mladého majstra zločinu – z rúk Artemisa Fowla. Veru tak. So škriatkovskou pomocníčkou kapitánkou Helou Krátkou po svojom boku sa Artemis vracia do minulosti, aby zviedol súboj sám so sebou. Dobrodružstvo sa môže začať.
