About this deal

All of these books take place in the same universe, so while Percy may not be in all of the books, the setting will be familiar to you and some characters will be recognizable. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate. Worse still, the king of the gods thinks Percy has stolen his all-powerful lightning bolt - and it seems making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

Meanwhile, the title lies at the bottom of the page, as if emphasizing the author and series title, which is prominent on top.

But whether Riordan intended it or not, there are undoubtedly Easter eggs or nuggets of lore that you’ll by able to pick up on by reading the series this way, that you might not if you read the books by series. Since the title mentioned “lightning,” there’s a lightning-like window where the relevant characters illustrated emerge, a clever way to connect the cover artwork to the title. The book covers also do an excellent job of conveying the tone of the series, which is very action-packed and exciting. Other series, like the Kane Chronicles, Trials of Apollo, and Magnus Chase, don’t feature Percy at all. It is the first time since the original series wrapped up in 2010 that I have written a first-person Percy Jackson novel featuring the main trio of Percy, Annabeth and Grover.

Riordan’s son was struggling at school with dyslexia and ADHD, but he had inherited his father’s passion for Greek mythology.

In the first book of the series, which was Rick Riordan’s debut middle grade novel, Percy thought he was an ordinary boy and was trying to find his footing at boarding school. But things quickly turn strange, and Percy’s mother decides it’s finally time to tell him about who his father is. He knows he will need his powerful demigod allies at his side, his trusty bronze sword Riptide, and… a ride from his mom.The art is by Victo Ngai, who did the most recent US covers for the Percy Jackson and the Olympians original series, so this book will stand nicely next to the others. In response to an awful camp orientation video created by the god Apollo, Percy Jackson and other residents of Camp Half-Blood answer such questions as “What is this place? Then, as they race to the rescue, Grover discovers two new powerful half-bloods with unknown heritage. The Percy Jackson series did well in establishing their name in literature through their stories and book covers! Rick Riordan is the author behind the bestselling Percy Jackson series, which has inspired multiple sequels and spin-off series.

But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves. Percy Jackson is the series’ protagonist, so it makes sense for the 2013 reissue to feature him on the covers. There is no obligation to add Chalice of the Gods to the original series unless you want to revisit your old friends from PJO. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief was his first young adult novel, but Riordan cut his teeth in publishing by writing adult mystery novels.But to do so they will need to traverse the Sea of Monsters that Greek heroes have been sailing across for millennia…except now it is known as the Bermuda Triangle.
