This adventure is perfect for new listeners to Riordan's series and for fans of the five previous novels featuring Percy Jackson and the Olympians. In this trio of stories featuring Percy, the half-mortal son of Poseidon, Jesse Bernstein voices mortal teens and terrifying gods with intimacy and glee. Teenager Percy balances woes and romance in the mortal world with adventures in the mythical world, such as battling Ares's sons, Phobes and Dimos, recovering Ares's lost chariot, visiting Hades, and nearly becoming "kibbles and dragon bits." With a blend of wry humor and drama, Berstein conveys the author's integration of ancient myths and historical characters with Percy's quotidian world of high school and camp. The three tales end with a rousing excerpt from the newest novel, THE LAST OLYMPIAN. D.P.D. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
