pacing, Riordan creates another compelling adventure, right down to
the cliff-hanger at the end. Stay tuned for volume
four.----Booklist
PRAISE FOR THE MARK OF ATHENA With his now-trademark zero-to-60
acceleration, the author engineers a ghostly possession to set
Greeks and Romans at odds and initiates the Prophecy of the Seven,
hurtling Annabeth, Percy, Piper, Leo, Hazel, Frank and Jason into a
pell-mell flight on the magical trireme Argo II. Here, Riordan's
infectious love for his subject matter really comes through, even
as he takes some real risks with his characters. A literal
cliffhanger leaves eager readers hanging; next stop: Greece--and
Tartarus.--Kirkus Reviews
