Percy Jackson is currently very confused. He has been chased by three very angry monsters with snakes for hair for days now, and he has a pen that can turn into a sword. The weirdest part, Percy can't remember ANYTHING. Anything except one name, Annabeth. Found and taken to a strange camp for the children of the Roman Gods, Camp Jupiter, Percy is revealed to be the son of Poseidon, the Greek version of the god of the seas, Neptune. Percy is sent to the 12th cohort, of the 12 cohorts of the camp, and meets Frank Zhang, the son of Mars, the God of War, and Hazel, the daughter of Pluto, the God of the Underworld and the three become fast friends. After a game of capture the flag, one of the campers is slain, but comes back to life. The campers realize that the Doors of Death, the doors to the Underworld, have been opened and Thanatos, the God of Death (who is totally awesome and definitely my favorite God), has been captured by unknown powers. Sent to free Thanatos and retrieve the 12th cohort's lost eagle standard, a magical object of great power, the trio embark on a mission, and are plunged into a battle that has lasted for eons, one that has begun anew, one that could destroy the gods. That is, unless Percy can stop it.
The Son of Neptune is a fantastic book. As soon as I saw the cover, I practically jumped for joy. Rick Riordan has brought back our favorite Demigod, Percy! The Son of Neptune is filled with action, suspense, demigod powers, and, thankfully, lots and lots of Percy.
