Rick Riordan - Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse
It’s not every day you find yourself in hand-to-claw combat with a half-lion, half-human. But when you’re the son of a Greek god, these things happen. All I was trying to do was bring two new demigods back to camp. But the arrival of the manticore changed everything. Now my friend Annabeth is missing, a goddess is in chains and the general of the Titans wants to unleash a tribe of skeleton warriors on the world. This is the one where only five of us heroes can join the dangerous quest to defeat the doomsday monster – and our camp’s Oracle has predicted that not all of the chosen five will survive . . . Can Percy save Annabeth – and the rest of the world – before the curse destroys him forever?
Rick Riordan - Percy Jackson és az olimposziak
A tizenkét éves Percy Jacksont eltanácsolják az iskolából. Megint. Bármennyire igyekszik, úgy tűnik, képtelen távol tartania magától a bajt. Tényleg nem szabad megvédenie magát az algebratanárnővel szemben, amikor az szörnyeteggé változik, és meg akarja ölni?
Természetesen senki sem hisz Percynek a szörny-incidenssel kapcsolatban; abban sem biztos, hogy magának hisz. Egészen addig míg a minótaurusz be nem kergeti a nyári táborba.
Hirtelen mitikus lények járkálnak ki-be a lakokba, és Percy görögmitológia-könyve megelevenedik. Rájön, hogy az olimposzi istenek a huszonegyedik században is élnek. Sőt, ami ennél is rosszabb, felbosszantotta őket: Zeusz villámát ellopták, és Percy az első számú gyanúsított.
Percynek mindössze tíz napja van arra, hogy megtalálja és visszaadja a Zeusztól ellopott holmit, hogy békét teremtsen a háborúságban álló Olimposzon.
Rick Riordan - Thorovo kladivo
Volám sa Magnus Chase. Pred rokom o takomto čase som vyberal smetné koše, spal pod mostom, flákal sa s kamošmi Hearthom a Blitzom, vyhýbal sa policajtom a snažil sa jednoducho prežiť ako bezdomovec. Pred dvoma mesiacmi som z ničoho nič umrel v boji s ohnivým obrom a prebral som sa v hoteli Valhala ako jeden z Odinových bojovníkov einherjarov. Od svojho znovuzrodenia som si už zvykol na veľa podivností. Putoval som po deviatich svetoch a stretal severských bohov, elfov, trpaslíkov a rôzne bandy netvorov, ktorých ani neviem pomenovať. Získal som magický meč a s jeho pomocou spolu s kamarátmi som odvrátil ragnarök – súdny deň. A myslíte, že ma potom čakal zaslúžený odpočinok? Ani nápad! Sotva som našiel Meč leta, už aby som sa vydal pátrať po ďalšej kúzelnej zbrani, stratenom Thorovom kladive...
Rick Riordan - Camp Jupiter Classified
It's the February after Gaea's defeat, and mysterious incidents are wreaking havoc throughout Camp Jupiter. If the Romans don't figure out who--or what--is behind the episodes soon, the Twelfth Legion could implode.
Suspicion falls on Claudia, the Fourth Cohort's newest probatio. After all, the mischief started shortly after she stumbled into camp. Plus, she's a daughter of Mercury, the god of thieves and tricksters. To find out whether she's guilty or innocent, readers can delve into the pages of Claudia's personal journal. Through her eyewitness accounts, they will visit the crime scenes--a row of seats in the Coliseum, an underground aqueduct tunnel, the strange staircase at the back of the principia--and see the bizarre events unfold. They'll be right alongside Claudia when she discovers a secret so ancient that not even the lares know about it . . . a secret that holds the key to Camp Jupiter's safety.

Rick Riordan - L'eroe perduto
Jason si risveglia in uno scuolabus, accanto al suo migliore amico e a una bellissima ragazza. Ed è terrorizzato. C'è infatti un piccolo problema: non ricorda assolutamente nulla di sé. E quando una torma di spiriti della tempesta cerca di ucciderlo, qualcosa gli suggerisce che dovrà al più presto venire a capo del mistero.
Piper non si spiega perché il suo ragazzo non si ricordi di lei. Da qualche giorno il mondo sembra impazzito: suo padre si è volatilizzato, incubi ricorrenti la tormentano e una ragazza di nome Annabeth dice di essere in cerca di un tale Percy Jackson, scomparso dal Campo Mezzosangue...
Leo ha sempre avuto un'attrazione per il fuoco, e quando arriva al Campo si sente stranamente a casa. Sarà quello il motivo per cui tutti gli dicono che una parte di lui discende dagli dei?
Nel frattempo Era è stata rapita dai giganti, che minacciano di ucciderla. C'è solo un modo per salvarla, e solo tre semidei discendenti da antiche divinità Romane potranno affrontare l'impresa...
Rick Riordan - A sötét prófécia
Apollón, az egykor ünnepelt isten különféle
okokból szánalmas halandóvá silányult.
Most félvér barátai társaságában beutazza Észak-Amerikát, hogy teljesítse küldetését, és visszaférkőzzön Zeusz kegyeibe.
Zeusz azzal büntette fiát, hogy egy Lester nevű esetlen, pattanásos, halandó kamasz alakjában a földre taszította. Csak úgy kerülhet vissza olimposzi trónjára, ha feléleszti a sötétbe borult orákulumokat.
Apollón a Félvér Táborban kiállt sok veszélyes – és enyhén szólva is megalázó – próbatétel után most hajmeresztő küldetésre indul. Ő és társai azt a feladatot kapják, hogy keressék meg az ókor legveszélyesebb orákulumát, egy kísértetjárta barlangot, ahol Apollón megtudhatja, miként változhat vissza istenné – már amennyiben sikerül elkerülnie a halált vagy a tébolyt.
A csapatot a gonosz Triumvirátus második tagja, egy római császár hátráltatja küldetésében, akinek vérszomja és nagyzolása mellett még Nero is eltörpül.
Apollón csak úgy élheti túl a kalandot, ha egyesíti erejét a váratlanul felbukkanó szövetségesekkel, akik a félistenek világából sietnek a segítségére.
Tarts velünk ezen a viszontagságokban, vidámságban és haikukban bővelkedő utazáson!
Rick Riordan - The Blood of Olympus
Though the Greek and Roman crew members 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.

Rick Riordan - Mission Road
The triple-crown winner of mystery’s most prestigious awards–the Edgar, the Anthony, and the Shamus–Rick Riordan blasted onto the crime scene with one of its freshest and most intriguing protagonists, Tres Navarre. In Mission Road, Navarre returns in a wrenching crime drama in which he must revisit the sins of the past to catch a killer about to get away with murder…again.

When an old friend appears at his door spattered with blood and wanted for attempted homicide, Tres doesn’t have to think twice about where his loyalty lies–or the consequences.

Now Ana’s been gunned down and her fellow cops don’t need to look far to find a prime suspect. For Ana recently reopened the most infamous cold case in SAPD history–the unsolved murder on notorious Mission Road eighteen years before that threw the San Antonio underworld into bloody chaos. Ana was about to bring charges against the suspected killer: her husband, Ralph Arguello.Tres is sure that Ralph didn’t do it–and that he didn’t shoot his wife. But with the police and the Mafia both out for revenge, there’s no one to turn to for help.
Now, armed and dangerous, the targets of a citywide manhunt, Tres and Ralph have just hours to
discover what really happened on Mission Road almost two decades ago. To find the truth, they must set a collision course with the past–and with a secret that will tear their lives apart.

Rick Riordan - Il mare dei mostri
La vita di un semidio a New York non è sempre facile, e quella di Percy Jackson è diventata una vera impresa da quando ha scoperto di essere figlio di Poseidone e deve trascorrere tutte le estati al Campo Mezzosangue, insieme ai suoi simili. Ma ora il campo è in grave pericolo: l'albero magico che lo protegge è stato avvelenato e non riesce più a difenderlo dalle invasioni dei mostri. Solo il Vello d'Oro può salvarlo!

Rick Riordan - Rebel Island
Triple-crown winner of mystery’s most coveted awards—the Edgar, the Anthony, and the Shamus—Rick Riordan and his Texas-style take on the crime novel have never been bigger or darker than in this latest Tres Navarre thriller. This time Navarre faces a killer as unstoppable as a force of nature.
Tres Navarre had given up private investigation—and with it a violent past that had buried too many friends. Newly married, with a baby on the way, it was time to find a safer line of work. He and Maia had come to Rebel Island to celebrate their honeymoon and a new future. But no sooner had they arrived than a reminder of the past showed up in the form of a corpse shot dead in room 12.
Just like that Tres finds himself flashing back on the memory of a grim childhood summer spent on the island—a summer that changed everything in his life. A summer he could never forget but never entirely remember either. And when a second corpse turns up, it’s clear to Tres that the past is not dead and buried after all, but is stalking Rebel Island with unfinished business of its own.
What really happened that long-ago summer, what dark secrets were kept, and who has come back to avenge them…these are the questions Tres, his brother Garrett, and the very pregnant Maia must answer—and time is running out. For a monster hurricane is about to hit Rebel Island, cutting them off from the mainland and leaving them trapped on a flooding island with the hotel’s remaining guests brutally dying one by one. Tres knows better than anyone that the bloodlines of South Texas are as twisted as barbed wire. This time they’re guarding a revelation that can turn his dreams of happily ever after into the ultimate nightmare.
Rick Riordan - Robert Venditti - The Son of Neptune
Percy is confused. When he awoke after his long sleep, he didn't know much more than his name. His brain-fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa told him he is a demigod and trained him to fight. Somehow Percy manages to make it to the camp for half-bloods, despite the fact that he had to continually kill monsters that, annoyingly, would not stay dead. But the camp doesn't ring any bells with him.
Hazel is supposed to be dead. When she lived before, she didn't do a very good job of it. When the Voice took over her mother and commanded Hazel to use her "gift" for an evil purpose, Hazel couldn't say no. Now, because of her mistake, the future of the world is at risk.
Frank is a klutz. His grandmother claims he is descended from ancient heroes and can be anything he wants to be, but he doesn't see it. He doesn't even know who his father is. He keeps hoping Apollo will claim him, because the only thing he is good at is archery-although not good enough to help the Fifth Cohort win at war games. His big and bulky physique makes him feel like a clumsy ox, especially in front of Hazel, his closest friend at camp. He trusts her completely-enough, even, to share the secret he holds close to his heart.
Featuring a faithful adaptation by Robert Venditti, and incredible artwork by Antoine Dod and Orpheus Collar, Rick Riordan's blockbuster book comes to life in The Son of Neptune, The Graphic Novel.

Rick Riordan - Griechische Heldensagen
Warum braucht Perseus eine Umarmung? Was hat Herkules angestellt? Und wer schlug Medusa den Kopf ab? Noch einmal öffnet Percy Jackson die Büchse der Pandora. Und dieses Mal bringt er die tragischen Ereignisse, ruhmreichen Taten und kühnen Abenteuer der griechischen Helden auf den Tisch. In bester Percy-Manier erzählt er urkomisch und kenntnisreich von Herkules, Orpheus und Co. und lässt dabei keine Frage unbeantwortet. Ein waghalsig-komisches Leseabenteuer!
Rick Riordan - The Titan's Curse
In this installment, Riordan continues to enliven ancient mythology with wit, contemporary staging, and teenage heroics. Percy Jackson is now 14, a bit older and wiser, yet still entangled with the Fates. Friends, monsters, dysfunctional gods, and the romantic stirrings of all things natural and mythological are encountered. His good friend, if oft-time rival, Annabeth (daughter of Athena) is missing, as is Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Joined by best buddy Grover-the-goat-boy and an argumentative array of accomplices, Percy sets off to fulfill, and hopefully foil, the foreboding prophecy of the Oracle. Plagued by ominous dreams, thwarted by hideous monsters, and challenged by conflicting partnerships, the search party's success hinges on unlikely unity. The droll pitch is teen-perfect, as when Apollo heats up the scene by arriving in his fire-red Maserati, wearing jeans, a sleeveless T-shirt, and loafers. 'Wow,' Thalia muttered, 'Apollo is hot.' 'He's the sun god,' I said. 'That's not what I meant.' Intricate prophecies and relationships are neatly braided into the adventurous plot. Teachers will cheer for Percy Jackson and the Olympians as they inspire students to embrace Greek mythology and score the ultimate Herculean challenge: getting kids to read. All in all, a winner of Olympic proportions and a surefire read-aloud.
Rick Riordan - Robert Venditti - The Lost Hero
Jason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she's his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad kids." What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea--except that everything seems very wrong.
Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn't recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going on?
Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. What's troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper's gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all--including Leo--related to a god.

My name is Magnus Chase. I'm orphaned and living rough on the streets of Boston. And things are about to get much worse.

And it turns out the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Apparently, if I can't find the sword my father lost two thousand years ago, there will be doom. Doomsday, to be precise.
But first I'm going to die. This is the story of how my life goes downhill from there...

"Davanti a loro si stendeva una valle abbastanza grande da riempire la baia di San Francisco. L'intero paesaggio rimbombava, come se i fulmini echeggiassero dalle viscere della Terra. Sotto nubi velenose, il terreno ondulato scintillava purpureo, percorso da cicatrici rosse e blu. — Sembra… — Annabeth soffocò un moto di repulsione. — … Un cuore gigante. — Il cuore del Tartaro — mormorò Percy".
Rick Riordan - The Hammer of Thor

It has fallen into enemy hands. If Magnus Chase and his friends can’t retrieve the hammer quickly, the mortal worlds will be defenseless against an onslaught of giants. Ragnarok will begin.

Rick Riordan - Il sangue dell'Olimpo
L'equipaggio della Argo II, la nave volante guidata dai semidei greci e romani, non è ancora riuscito a sconfiggere la minaccia più temibile: la divina Gea e il suo esercito di giganti. Ad Atene la Festa della Speranza è alle porte, e la perfida dea della Terra ha intenzione di celebrarla in grande stile: sacrificando due semidei per tornare in vita. Percy Jackson e i suoi amici devono fermarla, ma hanno visioni sempre più frequenti di una cruenta battaglia che minerà la pace tra il Campo Mezzosangue e il Campo Giove. Solo se i semidei riusciranno a condurre la statua di Athena Parthenos al Campo Mezzosangue potranno evitare la guerra.
Rick Riordan - La pirámide roja
Todo empezó en Londres, la noche en que nuestro padre hizo explotar el Museo Británico con un extraño conjuro. Fue entonces cuando nos enteramos de que, además de un reconocido arqueólogo, era una especie de mago del Antiguo Egipto. Rodeado de valiosas antigüedades, empezó a entonar extrañas palabras... Algo debió de salir mal porque la sala quedó reducida a escombros; Set, el dios del caos, apareció de la nada envuelto en llamas y a nuestro padre se lo tragó la tierra...
No puedo decirte nada más; el resto deberás descubrirlo tú.
Rick Riordan - La piramide rossa
Dalla morte della madre, Carter è costretto a seguire in giro per il mondo il padre Julius, egittologo, e a vivere separato dalla sorella Sadie. Ai Kane sono concessi solo due giorni all'anno da trascorrere insieme, e durante uno di questi Julius decide di portare i figli al British Museum. Ma qualcosa va storto. Julius evoca una misteriosa figura. Un attimo dopo c'è una violenta esplosione e l'uomo scompare.
Carter e Sadie si trovano ad affrontare una verità inattesa e sconvolgente: gli dei dell'Antico Egitto si stanno svegliando e il peggiore di tutti, Set, ha in mente uno spaventoso progetto di caos e distruzione a livello planetario. Per salvare il padre, i due fratelli cominciano un frenetico viaggio tra Londra, il Cairo, Parigi e gli Stati Uniti, un viaggio che li porterà vicini alla verità sulla loro famiglia e sui suoi legami con la Casa della Vita, una società segreta che risale al tempo dei faraoni. Sempre più increduli, sempre più coinvolti, sempre più in pericolo, scopriranno che spesso l'apparenza inganna...
Rick Riordan - The Throne of Fire
Ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister Sadie have been in trouble. As descendants of the House of Life, the Kanes have some powers at their command, but the devious gods haven't given them much time to master their skills at Brooklyn House, which has become a training ground for young magicians.
And now their most threatening enemy yet - the chaos snake Apophis - is rising. If they don't prevent him from breaking free in a few days' time, the world will come to an end. In other words, it's a typical week for the Kane family.
To have any chance of battling the Forces of Chaos, the Kanes must revive the sun god Ra. But that would be a feat more powerful than any magician has ever accomplished.
First they have to search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells. Oh, and did we mention that no one knows where Ra is exactly?
Narrated in two different wisecracking voices, featuring a large cast of new and unforgettable characters, and with adventures spanning the globe, this second installment in the Kane Chronicles is nothing short of a thrill ride.
