Autor Rick Riordanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 sep 2019 – vârsta de la 10 până la 14 ani
Though
the
Greek
and
Roman
crewmembers
of
theArgo
IIhave
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 itmightbe able to stop a war between the two camps.
The Athena Parthenos will go west; theArgo IIwill go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. 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 accessible and dramatic cover art by graphic novelist Nilah Magruder will attract a new generation of fans.
