波西失蹤了?!新一代混血英雄,開啟新一波尋找任務!!
泰坦大戰結束後,大預言暗示將有新一代混血人接下危險任務。沒想到才過幾個月,原本以為歸於平靜的奧林帕斯世界,又發生了問題。天后希拉發出求救訊息,同時間,波西竟然失蹤了。這兩起事件似乎有所關聯,背後隱藏的邪惡力量來自一個比克羅諾斯還要強的敵人。
三位新加入的混血人各自擁有神奇力量。傑生能掌控風雲與雷電;派波能魅惑人心;里歐能操控火,並擁有絕佳手藝。他們三位接下尋找任務,但除了面對恐怖的敵人之外,他們還必須解決自身遭遇的難題。
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.
