<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "The Greek and Roman demigods must simultaneously prevent the earth mother, Gaea, from waking, and stop war from breaking out at Camp HalfBlood"--]cProvided by publisher. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>In the breathtaking fifth and final book in Rick Riordan's #1 best-selling Heroes of Olympus series, the Greek and Roman demigods must simultaneously prevent Gaea from waking and stop war from breaking out at Camp Half-Blood.</b><br>Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the <i>Argo II</i> 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. <p/>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 <i>might</i> be able to stop a war between the two camps. <p/>The Athena Parthenos will go west; the <i>Argo II</i> 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? <br><b>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.</b> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>PRAISE FOR THE LOST HERO</b> <p/><br>Readers longing for a return to Camp Half-Blood will get their wish.... ...the action scenes come frequently as the three heroic teens fight monstrous enemies in North American locales.....

With appealing new characters within a familiar framework, this spin-off will satisfy the demand for more.--<i><b><em>Booklist</em></b></i> </br></br><b>PRAISE FOR THE MARK OF ATHENA</b> <p/>With a true storyteller's sense of pacing, Riordan creates another compelling adventure, right down to the cliff-hanger at the end.
