This is the third book in Rick Riordan's series based on Greek mythology.
first book (the lightening thief) - Percy Jackson is the son of the Poseidon (sea God) thus the reason why the dark side of Greek mythology want him dead e.g. Hades, The Fury, etc. A lad called Grover has been assigned the job of rescueing Percy from them and to take him back to camp half blood (place for all children who have been discovered to have a parent who is a god).
The Titans curse plot - Percy is sent a distress call by his friend Grover so naturally he and his friends to go his rescue... in his mums car. Grover has found another 2 half bloods called Bianca and Nico de Angelo at a military school, they need to be rescued but the headteacher (Dr Thorn) isnt all he appears to be and soon percy and his friends find themselves battling the manticore.
The battle isnt going to well so Artemis and her her huntresses come to the Percy's aid but Annabeth is in the grasp of the manticore and he falls off the edge of a cliff with her. does she die?
This is is the start of what turns out to be a tremendously good book, there are lots of baddies to fight and there are a few appearences of the gods themselves such as Aphrodite, Ares, Apollo and some more.
price - when the book first came out in April 2007 you could purchase it for under £10 but for some reason both Amazon and waterstones do not have the book stocked anymore and the price to buy the book of an independant shop on amazon is £12. This book is well worth your time but just remember to buy the first in the series before you buy the lot.
