Rick Riordan strana 20 z 21

Ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed on the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister, Sadie, have been in big trouble. As descendants of the magical House of Life, they command certain powers. But now a terrifying enemy - Apophis, the giant snake of chaos - is rising. If Carter and Sadie don't destroy him, the world will end in five days' time. And in order to battle the forces of chaos, they must revive the sun god Ra - a feat no magician has ever achieved. Because first they must search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells...Can the Kanes destroy Apophis before he swallows the sun and plunges the earth into darkness ...forever?

A félvérek egész évben harcra készülődtek, de tudták, hogy nem sok esélyük van a győzelemre. Kronosz serege erősebb volt, mint valaha, és minden átállt istennel és félistennel nagyobb lett. Amíg az olimposziak a pusztító Tüphónt próbálták megállítani, addig Kronosz bevonult New Yorkba, ahol az Olimposz gyakorlatilag őrizetlenül állt. Az Idő Urának megállítása Percy Jacksonra és a fiatal félistenek csapatára várt. A New York Times sikersorozatának várva várt befejező részében beteljesül a Percy tizenhatodik születésnapjára jövendölt prófécia. Miközben Manhattan utcáin tovább dúl a nyugati világ megmentéséért vívott harc, Percyn az a szörnyű gyanú lesz úrrá, hogy saját sorsa ellen küzd. "Magával sodró történet, egyszerre izgalmas, gondolatébresztő és könnyfacsaró. A regénysorozat méltó befejezése." - (Kirkus Review) "A magasfeszültségű izgalmak és a pezsgő humor nagyszerű kombinációja" - (Booklist) "Percy Jackson ötödik és egyben utolsó kalandja egy robbanással kezdődik, és egyre bombasztikusabban folytatódik. A rajongók nem fognak csalódni!" - (Publisher Weekly)

Rick Riordan is a teacher and a writer, and has won many awards for his mystery novels for adults. He says that the idea for Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief first came to him while he was teaching Greek mythology at middle school in San Fran...

I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things really started going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with m y friends, and generally trying to stay alive.

Carter and Sadie have nothing in common but their parents: their father Dr. Julius Kane, a brilliant Egyptologist, and their mother, a famed archaeologist who died under mysterious circumstances when they were young. The siblings barely know each oth er, but one night, their father brings them together at the British Museum, promising a 'research experiment' that will set things right for their family. His plans go horribly wrong. An explosion unleashes an ancient evil - the Egyptian god Set who banishes Dr. Kane to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives. Now orphaned, Carter and Sadie must embark on a dangerous quest - from Cairo to Paris to the American Southwest, to save their father and stop Set from destroying everythi ng they care about...

THE GRIFFIN FIXED its hungry eyes on Sadie . . . 'Sadie,' I said, 'drop the scroll.' 'Hello? It's stuck to my hand!' she protested. 'And I'm on fire! Did I mention that?'

It took a step towards my sister. EVER SINCE THE GODS of Ancient Egypt were unleashed on the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister, S adie, have been in trouble. As descendants of the magical House of Life, they command certain powers. But now a terrifying enemy Apophis, the giant snake of chaos is rising. If Carter and Sadie don't destroy him, the world will end in five days time. And in order to battle the forces of chaos, they musty revive the sun god Ra a feat no magician has ever achieved. First they must search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant the spells . . .

To posledné, o čo by Percy stál, je malér v škole, do ktorej ešte ani nenastúpil. Lenže na úvodnej exkurzii víta nováčikov čudesný tím roztlieskavačiek, ktoré polokrvným rozhodne nedrukujú! S blížiacimi sa Percyho 15. narodeninami sa svet okolo neho stáva čoraz nebezpečnejším, a tak sa Percy a jeho priatelia vydávajú na štvrtú letnú výpravu, tentoraz do prastarého Daidalovho labyrintu. V dômyselnom podzemnom bludisku na nich čakajú krvilačné obludy aj starí nepriatelia, prekvapenia, hádanky, boje na život a na smrť.

Percy Jackson semmi jót nem várt az iskolai nyílt naptól, de amikor titokzatos halandó ismerőse után két pomponlánydémonnal is találkozik, a dolgok még a vártnál is rosszabbra fordulnak. A sikersorozat negyedik kötetében már a küszöbön áll az olimposziak és a Titán isten közötti háború. Még az eddig biztonságos menedéknek számító Félvér Tábor is sebezhetőnek bizonyul, amikor Kronosz és hadserege megpróbál varázshatárán belülre kerülni. Hogy a támadásnak elejét vegyék, Percy és félisten barátai egy küldetésre indulnak a Labirintusba - a hatalmas, föld alatti világba, ami minden fordulóban újabb vérfagyasztó meglepetést tartogat számukra.

Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea . . . Now a major film! This is an abridged edition, read by Walter Lewis. Running time: 3 hours.
