And now their most threatening enemy yet--the Chaos snake, Apophis--is rising. If they don't prevent him from breaking free in a few days' time, the world will end.

Oh, and did we mention that no one knows where Ra is, exactly? Narrated by two different wisecracking voices, featuring a large cast of new and unforgettable characters, and with adventures spanning the globe, this second installment of the Kane Chronicles is nothing short of a thrill ride.

Now Magnus faces his most dangerous trial yet. His cousin, Annabeth, recruits her boyfriend, Percy Jackson, to give Magnus some pointers, but will his training be enough? Loki is free from his chains. He's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, complete with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Asgardian gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok.

Después de explicarnos las historias más emocionantes de los dioses griegos, Percy Jackson nos acerca al mundo de los héroes de la Antigua Grecia. Si quieres saber quién cortó la cabeza de Medusa o qué heroína fue criada por una osa, este es el libro que debes consultar. Nadie mejor que un hijo de Poseidón como Percy, que ha sobrevivido a un sinfín de encuentros con seres y criaturas mitológicos, para narrar las increíbles hazañas de Perseo, Atalanta, Belerofonte o Hércules, por citar sólo a algunos de los muchos personajes heroicos que aparecen en estas páginas. Así que Percy nos invita a seguirlo en una nueva y apasionante aventura con la siguiente propuesta: «Vamos a retroceder en el tiempo unos cuatro mil años para decapitar monstruos, salvar algún que otro reino, disparar a unos cuantos dioses en el trasero, saquear el inframundo y robar a gente muy mala. Listos? Perfecto. Vamos allá. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Who cut off Medusa's head? Who was raised by a she-bear? Who tamed Pegasus? It takes a demigod to know, and Percy Jackson can fill you in on the all the daring deeds of Perseus, Atalanta, Bellerophon, and the rest of the major Greek heroes. Told in the funny, irreverent style readers have come to expect from Percy. I've had some bad experiences in my time, but the heroes I'm going to tell you about were the original old school hard luck cases. They boldly screwed up where no one had screwed up before. . . So get your flaming spear. Put on your lion skin cape. Polish your shield and make sure you've got arrows in your quiver. We're going back about four thousand years to decapitate monsters, save some kingdoms, shoot a few gods in the butt, raid the Underworld, and steal loot from evil people. Then, for dessert, we'll die painful tragic deaths. Ready? Sweet. Let's do this.

Samalla hän tulee vapauttaneeksi muinaisen Egyptin pahamaineisimman jumalan Sethin. Isä katoaa, ja Sadien ja Carterin on paettava henkensä edestä. Sisarukset huomaavat, että muutkin muinaisen Egyptin jumalat alkavat heräillä, ja koko maailmaa uhkaa kaaos.
