Book Description

Release Date: 12 Oct 2010 | Series: Heroes of Olympus

This is a thrilling new series featuring three brand-new demigod heroes, from the best-selling creator of Percy Jackson.

OLD ENEMIES AWAKEN AS CAMP HALF-BLOOD'S NEW ARRIVALS PREPARE FOR WAR.

When Jason, Piper and Leo crash land at Camp Half-Blood, they have no idea what to expect. Apparently this is the only safe place for children of the Greek Gods – despite the monsters roaming the woods and demigods practising archery with flaming arrows and explosives.

But rumours of a terrible curse – and a missing hero – are flying around camp.

It seems Jason, Piper and Leo are the chosen ones to embark on a terrifying new quest, which they must complete by the winter solstice. In just four days time.

CAN THE TRIO SUCCEED ON THIS DEADLY MISSION- AND WHAT MUST THEY SACRIFICE IN ORDER TO SURVIVE?

4.0 out of 5 stars A return to the world of Percy Jackson, but with new characters and new twists! 28 Nov 2010
By Michelle Moore TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
I came late to the original Percy Jackson series, and was therefore able to read them all close together. I found myself lost in the world that Rick Riordan had created, easily picturing Camp Half Blood, and enjoying all the characters we were introduced to.

I admit to feeling a little lost after the series finished, so I was excited to find out that Rick had returned to this world, with a new set of heroes.

The book starts with a boy called Jason, who finds himself on a school bus, but having no idea of who he is, or why he's there. Strangely enough though, his `friends', Piper and Leo seem to know him.

The beginning would probably be a bit confusing for someone who hadn't read the original series, and I would imagine it's better starting there if you haven't already. However, we soon find ourselves back in the familiar world of the camp, with returning characters.

As you would expect, Jason goes on a Quest, along with Piper and Leo, finding the anticipated monsters. However, it's soon clear that there's something rather different this time around, especially with the mention of Roman gods.

Some old characters are back, and others are mentioned, but the emphasis is on the new ones. Jason, Piper and Leo have interesting stories to tell, and this is certainly their book.

The joy however, is that this book obviously sets us up for a whole new series - which I'm very much looking out for!

5.0 out of 5 stars You're never too old for these stories. 9 Feb 2011
By F. J. Ashton
Format:Hardcover
I have been a fan of Percy Jackson since the first book, I bought it for my children and was hooked from the first page. This book has new characters and a new story line but, holds the attention like all the other books. Once picked up this book is difficult to put down and you seriously begin to wonder if that last storm we had was real or was it the "mist"? If only I had, had the choice of reading that teenagers had today it would have enjoyed reading more when I was younger. Role on the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Percy Jackson: Heroes of Olympus - The Lost Hero 20 Oct 2010
By Robin Noad
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Now here's a task that one could describe as impossible. Write a follow-up series to the ridiculously popular Percy Jackson series.

But Rick Riordan has taken up that challenge, and he has succeeded.

Yes, he has changed styles, and he has, by quite a considerable margin, written the longest Percy Jackson story, but the length is justified as Riordan begins his epic odyssey, and the characters are each different and likeable (come on, who didn't howl with laughter at Piper's putting down of the former cabin councillor?). It's also interesting to go into more detail about the other cabins, and certain developments that won't be mentioned here do make sense in retrospect.

Besides, who can't like a giant mechanical and somewhat broken dragon named Happy? (Oh so easy to make a reference to a certain song...)
