Publisher Description
EVER since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed on the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister, Sadie, have been in big trouble.
As descendants of the magical House of Life, they command certain powers. But now a terrifying enemy - Apophis, the giant snake of chaos - is rising.
If Carter and Sadie don't destroy him, the world will end in five days' time. And in order to battle the forces of chaos, they must revive the sun god Ra - a feat no magician has ever achieved. Because first they must search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells . . .
Can the Kanes destroy Apophis before he swallows the sun and plunges the earth into darkness . . . forever?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The amazing performances of Kevin R. Free and Katherine Kellgren make this YA fantasy the second volume in Riordan's The Kane Chronicles enthralling for listeners of any age. Descendants of the House of Life, Carter and Sadie Kane are teenage magicians responsible for preventing Egyptian gods from interfering with mortals. And this time around, the brother-and-sister team face off against the chaos snake Apophis something that's bound to interfere with Sadie's 13th birthday party. But even being chased through the streets of London by monstrous gods doesn't slow down Sadie. Meanwhile, Carter continues to train a troupe of young magicians to battle the forces of evil. Free deftly handles Carter's narration; he sounds exactly like a 14 year-old boy, while voicing dozens of other characters. Kellgren's narration is no less impressive, and her interpretation of a budding teen girl is exuberant and believable, as are the multitude of other colorful characters she creates. Between these two spirited performances, the characters come to life and leave listeners breathless. A Hyperion hardcover.
Customer Reviews
Best bool I've read all year!
I'm a huge fan of Rick Riordan, his books are amazing and I have read all of them to date.
This book is outstanding and just as good as the first one I think. One again Riordan has left the book on a jaw dropping cliff hanger and I'm hooked to this series as well as the Heroes of Olympus.
You'll get every pennies worth woth this book.
I also thing after this series and Heroes of Olympus he will join them all together. Through out the books he gives hints about the Greek Gods. For example how they are not allowed/advised to go near manhattan since in the book it says "Manhattan has it's own problems" or "people have said to seen flying horses around there" either way I hope it all connects I'm the end with Greek, Roman and Egyptian Gods.
