fifth awesome adventure in the top-ten bestselling Percy Jackson series - now in
paperback.Most people get presents on their sixteenth birthday. I get a prophecy
that could save or destroy the world.That's how it is when you're the son of
Poseidon, God of the Sea. According to an ancient prophecy, bad things will
happen when I turn sixteen - because I'm the one who gets to decide the fate of
the entire world. But no pressure.This is the one where Kronos, Lord of the
Titans, is beginning his attack on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands
virtually unguarded. Oh, and the dreaded (and not to mention enormous) monster
Typhon is also heading our way. So it's me and forty of my demigod friends
versus untold evil . . .Praise for the Percy Jackson series:'Witty and inspired.
