“Filled with his usual edge-of-your seat excitement, Rick brings the action-packed Heroes of Olympus to an electrifying finale. “The battle intensifies between Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter, and Gaea’s thirsty for blood,” said Suzanne Murphy, vice president and publisher, Disney Publishing Worldwide. 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. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. The Athena Parthenos will go west the Argo II will go east. 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 Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. She needs their blood-the blood of Olympus-in order to wake. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. Her giants have risen-all of them, and they’re stronger than ever.
As The Blood of Olympus opens, the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, but they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea.
