The fifth and final volume of Rick Riordan's original Percy Jackson and the Olympians sequence brings the long war between the Olympian gods and the Titan Kronos to its breaking point.
Percy, a teenage son of Poseidon, approaches the sixteenth birthday named in the Great Prophecy while an invading army closes on Manhattan and Mount Olympus. The story gathers the demigods of Camp Half-Blood, their mortal allies and the gods themselves into one sustained defence, and settles the questions of loyalty, sacrifice and fate that the earlier volumes raised.
What readers get:
• The concluding instalment of the five-book Olympians arc, written for readers of about nine and up
• Greek gods, monsters and prophecy transplanted into a recognisably modern American setting
• Short chapters and a narrating hero that suit reluctant and confident readers alike
• A resolution to the Great Prophecy that the previous four books build toward
Suited to middle-grade readers finishing the series and to older fans of mythological adventure, available at Boipoka.
