En lettlest og humoristisk innføring i gresk mytologi – slik bare en halvgud kan fortelle den. Hvem kan fortelle historiene om gudene på Olympos bedre enn en moderne halvgud? Percy Jackson tar deg med inn i den greske gudeverdenen og beretter om hvordan den ble skapt og om gudenes interne maktkamper med blodbad, kannibalisme, tyveri og bakvasking. Percy gjør de eldgamle mytene relevante, underholdende og uforglemmelige – en ærligere innføring i gresk mytologi skal du lete lenge etter! Rick Riordan (f. 1964) hadde skrevet krimbøker for voksne i flere år da sønnen Haley ba ham fortelle en historie om greske guder og helter. Det ble starten på den første serien om halvguden Percy Jackson – og mer enn 35 millioner solgte bøker. Rick Riordan bor i Boston med familien sin.

Apollon har blitt jaget vekk fra Olympos etter å ha falt i unåde hos sin far, Zevs. Plutselig er han en helt vanlig, kvisete tenåringsgutt ved navn Lester nede på jorda. For å gjenvinne farens gunst, må han forlate Halvblodsleiren og bringe lyset tilbake til de mange mørklagte Oraklene rundt omkring i USA. Hvordan? Ved å gå gjennom en rekke skremmende og farlige prøvelser, så klart. Ved hjelp av vennene sine har Lester overlevd de to første prøvelsene: en i Halvblodsleiren og en i Indianapolis, hvor venninnen Meg mottok en mørk spådom. Nå må de inn i den brennende labyrinten, hvor det befinner seg en enda farligere trussel ... Den brennende labyrinten er tredje bok i serien Apollons prøvelser, skrevet av vår bestselgende forfatter Rick Riordan.

Todo el mundo sabe que no hay que meterse con Zeus, pero su hijo Apolo parece no darse por aludido... No te pierdas esta segunda parte de la saga m s espectacular de Rick Riordan: #LasPruebasDeApolo. Para castigar a Apolo, el dios del trueno decide mandarlo a la Tierra bajo la apariencia de Lester, un adolescente granujiento y sin poderes, claro. Ahora, el nico modo que Apolo tiene de regresar al monte Olimpo es devolviendo la luz a las profec as de los or culos que se han o curecido. Pero qu podr hacer un Apolo desprovisto de poderes? Tras superar una serie de pruebas peligros simas (y, para qu enga arnos, bastante humillantes) en el Campamento Mestizo, se embarcar en un viaje a trav s de Estados Unidos para conseguir localizar todos los or culos. Por suerte, todo lo que ha perdido en poderes lo ha ganado en amistades, as que no va a tener que arregl rselas solo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONZeus has punished his son Apollo--god of the sun, music, archery, poetry, and more--by casting him down to earth in the form of a gawky, acne-covered sixteen-year-old mortal named Lester. The only way Apollo can reclaim his rightful place on Mount Olympus is by restoring several Oracles that have gone dark. What is affecting the Oracles, and how can Apollo/Lester do anything about them without his powers? After experiencing a series of dangerous--and frankly, humiliating--trials at Camp Half-Blood, Lester must now leave the relative safety of the demigod training ground and embark on a hair-raising journey across North America. Somewhere in the American Midwest, he and his companions must find the most dangerous Oracle from ancient times: a haunted cave that may hold answers for Apollo in his quest to become a god again--if it doesn't kill him or drive him insane first. Standing in Apollo's way is the second member of the evil Triumvirate, a Roman emperor whose love of bloodshed and spectacle makes even Nero look tame. To survive the encounter, Apollo will need the help of son of Hephaestus Leo Valdez, the now-mortal sorceress Calypso, the bronze dragon Festus, and other unexpected allies--some familiar, some new--from the world of demigods. Come along for what promises to be a harrowing, hilarious, and haiku-filled ride. . . .

Libro segundo de la serie Los h roes del Olimpo Tres amigos. Una misi n de locos. Y un enemigo con poderes sobrehumanos. A qu juegan los dioses del Olimpo? Gaia, la madre Tierra, est despertando a un ej rcito de monstruos para acabar con la humanidad... y ellos se entretienen mareando a los semidioses, los nicos que pueden derrotar sus perversos planes. Ahora han mandado a Percy al campamento J piter casi sin recuerdos y con la inquietante sensaci n de que l, el griego, es el enemigo. Por suerte, contar con el apoyo de Hazel, una chica nacida hace m s de ochenta a os, y de Frank, un muchacho torpe que todav a no sabe muy bien cu les son sus poderes (ni si los tiene). Juntos deber n emprender una peligrosa expedici n para liberar a T natos, el dios de la muerte, de las garras de un gigante... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Percy is confused. When he awoke after his long sleep, he didn't know much more than his name. His brain-fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa told him he is a demigod and trained him to fight. Somehow Percy managed to make it to the camp for half-bloods, despite the fact that he had to continually kill monsters that, annoyingly, would not stay dead. But the camp doesn't ring any bells with him. Hazel is supposed to be dead. When she lived before, she didn't do a very good job of it. When the Voice took over her mother and commanded Hazel to use her "gift" for an evil purpose, Hazel couldn't say no. Now, because of her mistake, the future of the world is at risk. Frank is a klutz. His grandmother claims he is descended from ancient heroes, but he doesn't even know who his father is. He keeps hoping Apollo will claim him, because the only thing he is good at is archery. His big and bulky physique makes him feel like a clumsy ox, especially in front of Hazel, his closest friend at camp. He trusts her completely-enough, even, to share the secret he holds close to his heart. Beginning at the "other" camp for half-bloods and extending as far north as the land beyond the gods, this breathtaking second installment in the Heroes of Olympus series introduces new demigods, revives fearsome monsters, and features other remarkable creatures, all of whom are destined to play a part in the most important quest of all: the Prophecy of Seven.

Cuando Jason despierta, sabe que algo va muy mal. Est en un autob s camino de un campamento para chicos problem ticos. Y le acompa an Piper --una muchacha (bastante guapa, por cierto) que dice que es su novia-- y el que parece ser su mejor amigo, Leo... Pero l no recuerda nada: ni qui n es ni c mo ha llegado all . Pocas horas despu s, los tres descubrir n no solo que son hijos de dioses del Olimpo, sino adem s que su destino es cumplir una profec a de locos: liberar a Hera, diosa de la furia, de las garras de un enemigo que lleva mucho tiempo planeando su venganza... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Jason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she's his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad kids." What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea-except that everything seems very wrong. Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn't recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going on? Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. What's troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper's gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all-including Leo-related to a god. Rick Riordan, the best-selling author of the Percy Jackson series, pumps up the action and suspense in The Lost Hero, the first book in The Heroes of Olympus series. Fans of demi-gods, prophesies, and quests will be left breathless--and panting in anticipation for Book Two. The accessible and dramatic cover art by graphic novelist Nilah Magruder will attract a new generation of readers.

För att blidka sin far, få tillbaka sitt sexpack och kanske (kanske!) lyckas ta sig tillbaka till Olympen måste Apollon hitta fem försvunna orakel. Men hindren är många, inte minst för att tre onda, blodtörstiga romerska kejsare gör allt för att stoppa honom.Den här gången bär det av till den oberäkneliga och farliga Labyrinten, där Apollon, Meg och Grover måste befria ett orakel som talar i gåtor. Samtidigt är den tredje kejsaren dem hack i häl, och han visar sig vara den grymmaste och ondskefullaste av dem alla. Nu måste Apollon återigen svälja sin stolthet, greppa stridsukulelen och ta sig an utmaningen helt utan gudomliga krafter. Tonåringen Lester Papadopoulos kommer att behöva hjälp från sina vänner för att klara det här. Mycket hjälp ...

Un ej rcito de gigantes. Dos batallas a vida o muerte. Y siete h roes dispuestos a impedir el fin del mundo. Los tripulantes del Argo II han salido victoriosos de sus misiones, pero est n lejos de derrotar a Gaia, la Madre Tierra. Ella ha conseguido alzar a todos sus gigantes y planea sacrificar a dos semidioses en la festividad de Spes: necesita su sangre, la sangre del Olimpo, para despertar.Por otro lado, la legi n romana del Campamento J piter, liderada por Octavio, est cada d a m s cerca del Campamento Mestizo. La Atenea Partenos deber dirigirse al oeste para impedir la guerra entre los campamentos, mientras el Argo II navega hacia Antenas... C mo podr n los j venes semidioses derrotar a los gigantes de Gaia? Ya han sacrificado demasiado, pero si Gaia despierta... ser el final. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers 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 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.
