It opens with Percy recounting a seemingly ordinary afternoon at a private beach that quickly turns apocalyptic after a pegasus lands on his car. While driving with Rachel, Percy weighs an invitation to St. Thomas against an oncoming mission, a prophecy tied to his sixteenth birthday, and the ongoing war involving Titans and demigods.","Copyright © 2009 by Rick Riordan  \nAll rights reserved.

Technically I wasn’t supposed to be driving because I wouldn’t turn sixteen for another week, but my mom and my stepdad, Paul, took my friend Rachel and me to this private stretch of beach on the South Shore, and Paul let us borrow his Prius for a short spin.  \nNow, I know you’re thinking, Wow, that was really irresponsible of him, blah, blah, blah, but Paul knows me pretty well. He’s seen me slice up demons and leap out of exploding school buildings, so he probably figured taking a car a few hundred yards wasn’t exactly the most dangerous thing I’d ever done.  \nAnyway, Rachel and I were driving along. It was a hot August day. Rachel’s red hair was pulled back in a ponytail and she wore a white blouse over her swimsuit. I’d never seen her in anything but ratty T-shirts and paint-splattered jeans before, and she looked like a million golden drachma.  \n“Oh, pull up right there!” she told me .  \nWe parked on a ridge overlooking the Atlantic. The sea is always one of my favorite places, but today it was especially nice—glittery green and smooth as glass, like my dad was keeping it calm just for us .  \nMy dad, by the way, is Poseidon. He can do stuff like that.  \n“So .” Rachel smiled at me .“About that invitation.”  \n“Oh . . . right.” I tried to sound excited. I mean, she’d asked me to her family’s vacation house on St. Thomas for three days. I didn’t  \nget a lot of offers like that. My family’s idea of a fancy vacation was a weekend in a rundown cabin on Long Island with some movie rentals and a couple of frozen pizzas, and here Rachel’s folks were willing to let me tag along to the Caribbean.  \nBesides, I seriously needed a vacation. This summer had been the hardest of my life . The idea of taking a break even for a few days was really tempting.  \nStill, something big was supposed to go down any day now. I was “on call” for a mission. Even worse, next week was my birthday. There was this prophecy that said when I turned sixteen, bad things would happen.  \n“Percy,” she said,“I know the timing is bad. But it’s always bad for you, right?”  \nShe had a point.  \n“I really want to go,” I promised.“It’s just—”  \n“The war.”  \nI nodded. I didn’t like talking about it, but Rachel knew. Unlike most mortals, she could see through the Mist—the magic veil that distorts hum","cbCainZm2uvD0RQg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainZm2uvD0RQg","pdf",1779223,327,"English","en",105,"# Table of
