Teaser from Rick Riordan's website:
What if the gods of Olympus were alive in
the 21st Century? What if they still fell in love with mortals
and had children who might become great heroes -- like Theseus, Jason and
Hercules?
What if you
were one of those children?
Such is the
discovery that launches twelve-year-old Percy Jackson on the most
dangerous quest of his life. With the help of a satyr and a daughter of
Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who
has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction – Zeus’ master bolt.
Along the way, he must face a host of mythological enemies determined to
stop him. Most of all, he must come to terms with a father he has never
known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend.
