Alternate cover edition of ASIN B003N7ORNI
A brilliant new adventure series from the best-selling author of Percy Jackson.
Carter and Sadie have nothing in common but their parents: their father Dr. Julius Kane, a brilliant Egyptologist, and their mother, a famed archaeologist who died under mysterious circumstances when they were young.
The siblings barely know each other, but one night, their father brings them together at the British Museum, promising a 'research experiment' that will set things right for their family.
His plans go horribly wrong.
An explosion unleashes an ancient evil - the Egyptian god Set who banishes Dr. Kane to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives. Now orphaned, Carter and Sadie must embark on a dangerous quest - from Cairo to Paris to the American Southwest, to save their father and stop Set from destroying everything they care about . . .

This was my first read by Rick Riordan and I have to say this was amazing. The way it was layed out always at the edge of my seat waiting for the next adventure... Sadie had wit and sarcasm that had me rolling. Very much reminded me of responses I would have said. My favourite character that I visualize in my head... Philip of Macedonia and Khufu.

Muy bueno para el que le gusta la mitología egipcia. No es una super lectura, pero aporta datos muy interesantes. Se tranca de a ratos, pero no estan grave tampoco. No es que se haga lento tampoco.
