About this ebook

The formerly glorious god Apollo, cast down to earth in punishment by Zeus, is now an awkward mortal teenager named Lester Papadopoulos. In order to regain his place on Mount Olympus, Lester must restore five Oracles that have gone dark. But he has to achieve this impossible task without having any godly powers and while being duty-bound to a confounding young daughter of Demeter named Meg. Thanks a lot, Dad. With the help of some demigod friends, Lester managed to survive his first two trials, one at Camp Half-Blood, and one in Indianapolis, where Meg received the Dark Prophecy. The words she uttered while seated on the Throne of Memory revealed that an evil triumvirate of Roman emperors plans to attack Camp Jupiter. While Leo flies ahead on Festus to warn the Roman camp, Lester and Meg must go through the Labyrinth to find the third emperor--and an Oracle who speaks in word puzzles--somewhere in the American Southwest. There is one glimmer of hope in the gloom-filled prophecy: The cloven guide alone the way does know. They will have a satyr companion, and Meg knows just who to call upon. . . .

Ratings and reviews

BY HADES- I haven't even read it yet, since I'm waiting on my library. Read the comments on here... JASON GRACE, YOU WILL BE AVENGED MAH BOI.

I'll be honest. I didn't really like the first two books partly because Apollo was so self centered. But this book really changed him and my opinion of this series. When I read about Jason dying I had to spend a good minute throwing stuff around my room and screaming. But I loved this book the next one can never come fast enough.

Didn't get the ebook i read the actual hardcover book and I thought this book was amazing been a fan since the first Percy Jackson book came out and this was a nice addition to the series. When I found out Jason died I couldn't believe I sat there crying and rereading the line just to make sure it was real. Anyway if I could give a high rating I would because this book is a 10/10 good job Rick!!!
