After angering his father, Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Now a weak and disoriented teenage boy in New York City, the four-thousand-year-old deity can think of only one place to go ... an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.

True story of how three astronauts, stranded 205,000 miles above the earth, fight a battle to survive while Mission Control works against time to bring them home.

In a final secret mission to the moon, U.S. astronauts discover a crashed Soviet spacecraft and the body of a cosmonaut killed by unknown causes.

As the Apollo 11 mission draws to a close there is a crisis at the tracking station on Guam: the antenna that will track the spacecraft during reentry, and allow mission control to communicate with the astronauts is stuck--and ten-year-old Marty is the only one small enough to reach in and grease the ball bearings that allow the antenna to move.

The highly anticipated conclusion to the best-selling series finds Lester tackling his final challenge at the Tower of Nero, where the former god Apollo and his demigod master, Meg, follow a prophecy uncovered by Ella the harpy.
