Percy Jackson hetedik éve az iskolában meglehetősen unalmasan indul. Egyetlen szörny sem akarja betenni a lábát New York-i sulijába. Ám amikor az ártatlan labdázgatás élet-halál harccá válik egy csapat emberevő óriás ellen, a dolgok, hogy is mondjam. kezdenek eldurvulni. Váratlanul érkező barátja, Annabeth is csak rossz hírekkel szolgálhat: a Félvérek táborát védő határokat egy titokzatos ellenség lerombolta, és amíg ezeket újra helyre nem állítják, a félisteneknek nincs hová rejtőzniük. A villámtolvaj lendületes, humoros és rendkívül népszerű folytatásában Percynek és a barátainak át kell szelniük a Szörnyek Tengerét, hogy megmentsék a táborukat. De Percynek mindezek előtt még szembesülnie kell egy a származását érintő titokkal: rá vár a feladat, hogy eldöntse, áldás-e, avagy átok Poszeidón fiának lenni.

Chystá sa veľké stretnutie gréckych a rímskych polobohov. Posádka z Tábora polokrvných vyráža na vojnovom korábe Argo II do Tábora Jupiter.

Podarí sa jej nájsť tajomné znamenie bohyne Atény, ktoré jej v boji proti zlým silám pomôže? Gaia, sila mocnejšia než všetci bohovia, sa ďalej prebúdza a ohrozuje budúcnosť civilizácie. Čas sa kráti a posádka Arga II sa musí vydať do boja za záchranu ľudstva...

How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over ...

The Blood of Olympus is the fifth book in the bestselling Heroes of Olympus series - set in the high-octane world of Percy Jackson. Though the Greek and Roman crew members of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen - all of them - and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood - the blood of Olympus - in order to wake. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless.

How do you punish an immortal? By making him human. After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favour. But Apollo has many enemies - gods, monsters and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go ...an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.

The first book in the incredible new series from the author of Percy Jackson, the Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus. My name is Magnus Chase. I'm orphaned and living rough on the streets of Boston. And things are about to get much worse. My day started out normally enough. I was sleeping under a bridge when some guy kicked me awake and said, 'They're after you.' Next thing I know, I'm reunited with my obnoxious uncle, who casually informs me that my long-lost father is a Norse god. Nothing normal about that. And it turns out the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Apparently, if I can't find the sword my father lost two thousand years ago, there will be doom. Doomsday, to be precise. A fire giant attacking the city? Immortal warriors hacking each other to pieces? Unkillable wolves with glowing eyes? It's all coming up. But first I'm going to die. This is the story of how my life goes downhill from there...

Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer's return is the gods' worst enemy, Loki - and the price he wants is very high.
