This week’s new release suggestions come from the realm of Greek Mythology. I have just finished one of Rick Riordan’s “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” books which will be the subject for the Cybrarian’s review at the end of the week, and thought it would be a good time to take a peek at some offerings from the Greek mythology theme.
Atlantis Unleashed (Warriors of Poseidon, Book 3) by Alyssa Day
Eleven thousand years ago Poseidon’s warriors took an oath swearing to protect humanity from those who stalk the night. Now powerful forces are uniting and it all comes down to a warrior prince and a woman of science; these two souls are all that stand between justice and the eternal darkness.
The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan (Kindle Edition)
This is the Kindle version of the second book in the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series. Summer is the time for all young heroes to gather at Camp Half-Blood to train in the art of survival against the monsters that live in the real world seeking to destroy the young demigods. It is called Camp Half-Blood because it is a safe place, a summer camp, specifically for young campers with one mortal parent and one parent who is a Greek god.

Amazon has this to say about the second book in the series: “after a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly quiet. His biggest problem is dealing with his new friend, Tyson, a six-foot-three, mentally challenged homeless kid who follows Percy everywhere, making it hard for Percy to have any “normal” friends. Things don’t stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders which protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters, the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia-only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new name-the Bermuda Triangle. Now Percy and his friends-Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson-must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family-one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon-s son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.” This series is wrought with traditional Greek mythology with a modern flavor. This series makes great family summer reading, just a thought...
