Blurb:
Go west. Capture Apollo before he can find the next oracle.
If you cannot bring him to me alive, kill him.
Those
were the orders my old enemy Nero had given to Meg McCaffrey. But why
would an ancient Roman emperor zero on Indianapolis? And now that I have
made it here (till in the embarrassing form of Lester Papadopoulos),
where is Meg?
Meg, my
demigod master, is a cantankerous street urchin. She betrayed me to Nero
back at Camp Half-Blood. And while I'm mortal, she can order me to do
anything... even kill myself. Despite all this, if I have a chance of
prying her away from her villainous stepfather, I have to try.
But I'm
new to this heroic-quest business, and my father, Zeus, stripped me of
all my godly powers. Oh, the indignities and pain I have already
suffered! Untold humiliation, impossible time limits, life-threatening
danger... Shouldn't there be a reward at the end of each completed task?
Not just more deadly quests?
