Book description
A brilliant new adventure series from the best-selling author of
Percy Jackson.
Carter and Sadie have nothing in common but their parents: their
father Dr. Julius Kane, a brilliant Egyptologist, and their mother, a
famed archaeologist who died under mysterious circumstances when they
were young.
The siblings barely know each other, but one night, their father
brings them together at the British Museum, promising a 'research
experiment' that will set things right for their family.
His plans go horribly wrong.
An explosion unleashes an ancient evil - the Egyptian god Set who
banishes Dr. Kane to oblivion and forces the children to flee for
their lives. Now orphaned, Carter and Sadie must embark on a dangerous
quest - from Cairo to Paris to the American Southwest, to save their
father and stop Set from destroying everything they care about . . .
Rick Riordan is an award-winning mystery writer. He lives in San
Antonio, Texas, with his wife and two sons.

Lightning Thief
