The second title in Rick Riordan's Trials of Apollo series - set in the action-packed world of Percy Jackson.The god Apollo, cast down to earth and trapped in the form of a gawky teenage boy as punishment, must set off on the second of his harrowing (and hilarious) trials.He and his companions seek the ancient oracles - restoring them is the only way for Apollo to reclaim his place on Mount Olympus - but this is easier said than done.Somewhere in the American Midwest is a haunted cave that may hold answers for Apollo in his quest to become a god again . . . if it doesn't kill him or drive him insane first. Standing in Apollo's way is the second member of the evil Triumvirate - aRoman emperor whose love of bloodshed and spectacle makes even Nero look tame.To survive the encounter, Apollo will need the help of a now-mortal goddess, a bronze dragon, and some familiar demigod faces from Camp Half-Blood. With them by his side, can Apollo face down the greatest challenge of his four thousand years ofexistence?Apolló egy görög isten. Volt. A nap, íjászat, költészet, zene és sok minden más egyéb istene egyszer csak arra tér magához, hogy Ő már nem is isten, hanem egy hétköznapi, esetlen tinédzser a New York-i forgatagban. Ezzel megkezdődnek Apollómegpróbáltatásai halandóként. Az első részben még Percy Jackson oldalán próbálja megmenteni a Földet és megvédeni az utolsó Orákulumot a Fenevadtól Ebben az új részben Leo Valdez és Calypso (aki szintén halandó lett! Oh, my god!) meg kell találnia azősi idők legveszélyesebb jósát, aki választ adhat arra, hogyan kerülhet vissza Olümposz hegyére az istenek közé. A dolgok egyre rosszabbá és zavarosabbá válnak. A gonosz Triumvirátus egy újabb tagja - egy véreskezű római császár - állja az utunkat. Azerőm nélkül (és persze elvesztettem szép külsőmet és hangomat is, ezzel a vonzerőmet), hogyan várhatja el Zeusz, hogy eleget tegyek egy olyan kihívásnak, amellyel még nem találkoztam 4000 éves létezésem alatt...?
