Battle of the Labyrinth

Battle of the Labyrinth
by Rick Riordan


In the fourth installment of the Percy Jackson series, the battle between the gods and the titans is only a matter of time away. Percy and his friends must enter the mystical labyrinth, once the home of the minotaur and the testing ground for the hero Theseus, now the lair of Kronos as he gains power and prepares to take a human form. The dangers faced in the labyrinth are fresh and frightening, and this is probably the best in the series since "The Lighting Thief". Greek gods, heroes, half bloods, and monsters permeate the pages, and as Kronos moves from a disembodied voice to a "living" being, the reader will be chilled to realize exactly what the children from Camp Half Blood will be fighting.

A wonderful read full of adventure and action.
