Los mestizos han dedicado mucho tiempo a prepararse para la batalla decisiva contra los titanes, aunque saben que sus posibilidades de obtener la victoria son mínimas. El ejército de Cronos es ahora más formidable que nunca y, con cada dios y cada mestizo que logra reclutar, aumentan los poderes del maligno titán. Tras fracasar en un primer intento de detener en alta mar las arrolladoras tropas de Cronos, Percy Jackson y los olímpicos se esfuerzan por mantener a raya la furia desatada del monstruo Tifón. Y cuando Cronos ordena el avance definitivo hacia Nueva York, donde el monte Olimpo, en lo alto del Empire State, se encuentra prácticamente indefenso, pararle los pies al implacable Señor del Tiempo dependerá exclusivamente de Percy y su hueste de jóvenes semidioses.

Un ejército de monstruos. Siete chicos al límite de sus fuerzas y solo unas horas para salvar la humanidad... Gaia, la madre tierra, se ha propuesto destruir el mundo de los mortales con sus tropas de monstruos y gigantes, y solo hay un modo de impedirlo: cerrar las Puertas de la Muerte, por donde estas criaturas están escapando de los infiernos. Y, lo más importante, hay que hacerlo desde fuera... y desde dentro. Hazel, Nico, Piper, Leo, Frank y Jason han descubierto que la parte exterior se halla en Grecia, en el templo de Hades, dios del inframundo, aunque tienen un largo viaje hasta allí e ignoran a qué deberán enfrentarse cuando lleguen. Mientras, Percy y Annabeth se encuentran en algún lugar al otro lado, luchando por su supervivencia, por encontrar las puertas... y por salir antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

Una lucha milenaria. Siete adolescentes en apuros. Y el fin del mundo a la vuelta de la esquina. El destino de la humanidad pende de un hilo: Gea, la madre Tierra, ha abierto de par en par las Puertas de la Muerte para liberar a sus despiadados monstruos y los únicos que pueden cerrarlas son el equipo de semidioses elegidos por la antigua profecía. Percy, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Leo y Annabeth, tienen un reto muy difícil y además, solamente cuentan con seis días para conseguirlo y, por si fuera poco, acaba de estallar la guerra entre sus dos campamentos y ahora ellos son un objetivo…

A punto de comenzar primero de secundaria, Percy Jackson no espera emociones fuertes, sino más bien un aburrimiento soporífero. Pero cuando en la nueva escuela se presenta una vieja amiga, seguida de un par de animadoras diabólicas, los acontecimientos se precipitan y todo empieza a ir de mal en peor. Cronos, el malvado señor de los titanes, amenaza con destruir el Campamento Mestizo, donde se refugian los jóvenes semidioses. Para evitarlo, Percy y sus amigos deben emprender una arriesgada búsqueda a través del laberinto, un mundo subterráneo plagado de trampas temibles y criaturas perversas, concebido para acabar con quienes se atrevan a profanarlo.

¿A qué juegan los dioses del Olimpo? Gea, la madre Tierra, está despertando a un ejército de monstruos para acabar con la humanidad... y ellos se entretienen mareando a los semidioses, los únicos que pueden derrotar sus perversos planes. Ahora han mandado a Percy al campamento Júpiter casi sin recuerdos y con la inquietante sensación de que él, el griego, es el enemigo. Por suerte, contará con el apoyo de Hazel, una chica nacida hace más de ochenta años, y de Frank, un muchacho que todavía no sabe muy bien cuáles son sus poderes (ni si los tiene). Juntos deberán emprender una peligrosa expedición para liberar a Tánatos, el dios de la Muerte, de las garras de un gigante...

Los tripulantes del Argo II han salido victoriosos de sus misiones, pero están lejos de derrotar a Gea, la madre Tierra. Ella ha conseguido alzar a todos sus gigantes y planea sacrificar a dos semidioses en la festividad de Spes: necesita su sangre, la sangre del Olimpo, para despertar. Por otro lado, la legión romana del Campamento Júpiter, liderada por Octavio, está cada día más cerca del Campamento Mestizo. La Atenea Partenos deberá dirigirse al oeste para impedir la guerra entre los campamentos, mientras el Argos II navega hacia Atenas… ¿Cómo podrán los jóvenes semidioses derrotar a los gigantes de Gea? Ya han sacrificado demasiado, pero si Gea despierta… será el final.

¿Qué pasaría si un día descubrieras que, en realidad, eres hijo de un dios griego que debe cumplir una misión secreta? Pues eso es lo que le sucede a Percy Jackson, que a partir de ese momento se dispone a vivir los acontecimientos más emocionantes de su vida. Expulsado de seis colegios, Percy padece dislexia y dificultades para concentrarse, o al menos ésa es la versión oficial. Objeto de burlas por inventarse historias fantásticas, ni siquiera él mismo acaba de creérselas hasta el día que los dioses del Olimpo le revelan la verdad: Percy es nada menos que un semidiós, es decir, el hijo de un dios y una mortal. Y como tal ha de descubrir quién ha robado el rayo de Zeus y así evitar que estalle una guerra entre los dioses. Para cumplir la misión contará con la ayuda de sus amigos Grover, un joven sátiro, y Annabeth, hija de Atenea.

Ante la llamada de socorro de su amigo el sátiro Grover, Percy acude inmediatamente en su auxilio. Y aunque va acompañado de Annabeth y Thalia, las dos semidiosas que son sus aliadas, ninguno imagina la sorpresa que los aguarda: una terrible mantícora pretende secuestrarlos y llevarlos ante el general enviado por Cronos, el diabólico señor de los titanes. Sin embargo, gracias a la ayuda de las cazadoras de Artemisa, Percy y sus aliadas logran escapar y volver al campamento mestizo. Una vez allí, emprenderán la búsqueda del monstruo que puede provocar la destrucción del Olimpo, a pesar de que, según la profecía del Oráculo, sólo uno de ellos logrará resistir la maldición del titán.

Cuando Jason despierta sabe que algo va muy mal. Está en un autobús camino de un campamento para chicos problemáticos. Y le acompañan Piper, una muchacha (bastante guapa, por cierto) que dice que es su novia y el que parece ser su mejor amigo, Leo... Pero él no recuerda nada: ni quién es ni cómo ha llegado allí. Pocas horas después, los tres descubrirán no solo que son hijos de dioses del Olimpo sino que su destino es cumplir una profecía de locos: liberar a Hera, diosa de la furia, de las garras de un enemigo que lleva mucho tiempo planeando su venganza...

El mundo est ̀patas arriba cuando Percy Jackson y Annabeth Chase conocen a Carter y Sadie Kane. Estǹ apareciendo criaturas extraąs en lugares inesperados, as ̕que semidioses y magos tienen que unir fuerzas para acabar con todos esos monstruos

Un objeto milenario ha desaparecido. Una amenaza se cierne sobre los nueve mundos. Magnus Chase no está preparado para el Ragnarok, pero ha llegado la hora de invocar la espada del tiempo y pasar a la acción. El martillo de Thor ha vuelto a desaparecer. El Dios del trueno tiene la mala costumbre de extraviar su arma (total, solo es la fuerza más poderosa de los nueve mundos), pero esta vez no se ha perdido exactamente, sino que ha caído en manos enemigas. Si Magnus Chase y sus compañeros no son capaces de recuperar el martillo, los mundos mortales quedarán totalmente expuestos al temible ataque de los gigantes. El Ragnarok empezará. Los nueve mundos arderán. Pero por desgracia, la única persona que puede ayudarlos a recuperar el arma es Loki, el peor enemigo de los dioses... y el precio que hay que pagar es muy alto.

El barco de los muertos es la entrega final de la trepidante trilogía de aventuras basada en la mitología nórdica Magnus Chase y los dioses de Asgard de Rick Riordan, el autor de literatura de aventuras fantásticas número uno en el mundo. La mayor amenaza para Asgard está a punto de hacerse realidad y Magnus Chase tiene que embarcar hacia el viaje más peligroso de su vida. Sin embargo esta vez contará con una ayuda inesperada. Magnus Chase ha pasado de ser un adolescente sin techo a vivir en el Hotel Valhalla y convertirse en uno de los guerreros de Odín. Como digno hijo de Frey, el dios del verano, la fertilidad y la salud, a Magnus no le gustan especialmente las guerras y las batallas, pero sus amigos son fuertes y un poco cabezotas, así que juntos han conseguido derrotar a Grimwolf y luchar contra gigantes para hacerse con el martillo de Thor. Ahora, Magnus y sus compañeros tienen que partir hacia las fronteras más lejanas de Jotunheim y Niflheim para enfrentarse a la mayor amenaza de Asgard. ¿Conseguirán completar su peligroso viaje con éxito o ha llegado, al fin, el temido Ragnarok?

Genial, esto va de mal en peor. Apofis anda suelto sembrando el terror en todas partes. Sólo nos quedan dos días... Y, mientras, todos nos dan la espalda. Un grupo de magos rebeldes, encabezados por Sarah Jacobi, nos han acusado a Sadie y a mí de haber provocado el caos y de que Set esté en libertad. Juran que acabarán con nosotros... De los dioses, mejor ni hablar: nadie sabe dónde se han metido, y los que quedan, como Ra, el mismísimo dios del sol, sólo piensan en comer galletas, babear y tararear cancioncillas sin sentido... Nunca hemos estado tan solos y tan desesperados; sólo nos queda una última oportunidad: capturar la sombra de Apofis. Se me olvidaba decirles que nadie lo ha conseguido, así que, si algo sale mal, no estaremos aquí para contarlo.

Desde que sabe que es hijo de un dios y una mortal, Percy Jackson espera que el destino le depare continuas aventuras. Y su expectativa se cumplirá con creces. Aunque el nuevo curso en la Escuela Meriwether transcurre con inusual normalidad, un simple partido de balón prisionero acaba en batalla campal contra una banda de feroces gigantes. A partir de ahí las cosas se precipitan: el perímetro mágico que protege el Campamento Mestizo es destruido por un misterioso enemigo y la única seguridad con que contaban los semidioses desaparece. Así, para impedir este daño irreparable, Percy y sus amigos inician la travesía del temible Mar de los Monstruos en busca de lo único que puede salvar el campamento: el Vellocino de Oro.

Escuchad. No tenemos mucho tiempo para hacer introducciones largas. Tengo que contar esta historia o moriremos todos. La voz de Carter suena apremiante, y a tenor de su resumen, no es para menos: los dioses egipcios andan sueltos por el mundo moderno, un puñado de magos que se hacen llamar la Casa de la Vida intentan detenerlos y una gran serpiente está a punto de tragarse el sol y destruir el mundo. ¡Uf! Vaya panorama… pero nada con lo que los hermanos Kane, Carter y Sadie, hijos del eminente egiptólogo Julius Kane, no estén familiarizados. Eso sí, tras aprobar un cursillo tan peligroso como acelerado, y después de aprender quiénes eran y de dónde venían, en La Pirámide Roja (para los no iniciados: la primera entrega de esta serie). Ahora, su estirpe les exige una nueva hazaña porque Apofis, Señor del Caos, está a punto de romper la cárcel en la que fue confinado. Y los Kane creen que para evitarlo tienen que encontrar esté donde esté, en cualquier rincón del mundo, el Libro de Ra. No para leerlo, claro, sino porque ahí se describe la única manera posible de despertar al dios del sol, el primer y más poderoso rey de los dioses, el Señor del Orden. Ra y Apofis, enzarzados desde el amanecer de los tiempos en una guerra para destruirse mutuamente… ¿De cuánto tiempo disponen Carter, Sadie y los suyos para preparar la batalla? La verdad, no mucho: cuatro días.

Los dioses vikingos han despertado. Magnus tiene en sus manos el secreto que puede detener el fin del mundo. Pero ese mismo secreto también puede destruirle. Magnus Chase siempre ha sido un chico con problemas, ha vivido solo en las calles de Boston esquivando tanto a la policía como a los ladrones. Un día, una nueva sombra se suma a sus perseguidores: su misterioso y hasta entonces desconocido tío Randolph, que le revela un secreto imposible: Magnus es en realidad el hijo de un dios nórdico. Los mitos Vikingos son reales. Los dioses de Asgard están preparándose para la Gran Guerra. Trolls, gigantes y criaturas horrendas se entrenan para el Ragnarok, el fin del mundo. Con la ayuda de Sam, una valquiria que lo odia en secreto, y del enano Blitzen y el elfo Hearthstone, ambos fugitivos, Magnus viajará por los nueve mundos en busca de la única arma que puede detener el Ragnarok: una espada legendaria perdida hace miles de años...Y en el camino tendrá que tomar la más difícil de las decisiones. Porque a veces, para salvarse, es necesario morir.

Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen—all of them, and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.

A companion guide to THE TRIALS OF APOLLO series, set in the world of PERCY JACKSON. Camp Half-Blood FYI is the funny insider's guide to the demigod training camp in Long Island, narrated by none other than Percy Jackson himself, and other favourite characters will be heard from, too. 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?" and "Do I get to keep the T-shirt?" Newbies can check out the section on the Divine Cabins, read up on Magical Landmarks, and consult the chapter of Training Arenas. But Camp Half-Blood Confidential explores much more than just the buildings and grounds. It includes info that can only be learned from those who live there. For instance, campers do not always co-exist in peace and harmony. The camp is not run with superior efficiency. Prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity. Sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called Camp Half-Blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown. Chiron himself introduces the book with a brief history of training based on his millennia of experience. And, of course, divine words of wisdom from the god Apollo himself are included, because the demigod authors would prefer not to be struck down by him, thank you very much.
