Product Description
The SECOND title in this number one, bestselling spin-off series from Percy Jackson creator, Rick Riordan.
This crazy messed up world of gods and monsters is Percy Jackson's reality, which pretty much sucks for him.
Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, God of the Sea, has woken from a very deep sleep and come face to face with two snake-haired ladies who refuse to die.
But they're the least of his problems. Because Percy finds himself at a camp for half-bloods, which doesn't ring any bells for him. There's just one name he remembers from his past. Annabeth.
Only one thing is certain - Percy's questing days aren't over. He and fellow demigods Frank and Hazel must face the most important quest of all: the Prophecy of Seven.If they fail, it's not just their camp at risk. Percy's old life, the gods, and the entire world might be destroyed . . .

Having read all the books before this one and been on the edge of my seat, longing for 4th October and the release date for "Heroes of Olympus: The Son of Neptune," dying to know what happened next after the cliffhanger at the end of the previous book, I have just completed reading it and was not disappointed.
It is pacey, exciting, witty and full of the character flaws, weaknesses, decision making, surprise twists in the story and ultimate heroism I have come to expect from this series. It really is a great read and hard to put down, landing straight into the action from the first paragraph. Already I am wanting to know what happens next and waiting with anticipation for the next book in the Heroes of Olympus series.
The characters are always so engaging, full of secrets that need uncovering and Riordan really is a master storyteller. If you have never read any of the Percy Jackson tales, do start at the beginning and follow the progression from "The Lightning Thief" all the way through to "The Son of Neptune." It's a brilliantly entertaining series of stories that both has you laughing out loud in places and on the edge of your seat in others. Our 10 year old has loved them all and has the added advantage that he is now very knowledgeable about Greek mythology which has stood him in good stead at school! Read the series and enjoy. You won't regret the experience.

I like stories written around the mythologies, and Heroes of Olympus comes out as very imaginative and brilliantly executed story. The story is easy to digest and with an almost make-belief feel to it. Rick did a good job with characterization, dialogue and narrative. It comes on the heels of Verdict of Hades, that I just read. My interest at the moment is on Norse and African mythologies. There is a lot we can learn from these stories. Overall, this is a well-crafted story wrapped around brilliant characters and a refreshing story line.

The book was bought for my 14yr old son who is a grat Riordan fan. These books can separate him from any kind of electronic gadgetry which is fine by me! He was soon absorbed and despite long school days (leaves home at 7.30am, gets back at 6.15 and has homework to do) he finished the book in 5 days. Another good buy.

Excellent Read
This is the second book in the series and is just as addictive as the first one. Once you start to read you cannot stop until the book is finished cannot wait until the next book.
