The Red Pyramid: the first audiobook in Rick Riordan's The Kane Chronicles.

Percy Jackson fought Greek Gods. Now the Gods of Egypt are waking in the modern world...

'I GUESS IT STARTED THE NIGHT OUR DAD BLEW UP THE BRITISH MUSEUM . . .'

CARTER AND SADIE KANE'S dad is a brilliant Egyptologist with a secret plan that goes horribly wrong. An explosion shatters the ancient Rosetta stone and unleashes Set, the evil god of chaos . . .

Set imprisons Dr Kane in a golden coffin and Carter and Sadie must run for their lives. To save their dad, they embark on a terrifying quest from Cairo to Paris to the American South-west and discover the truth about their family's connection to the House of Life: an Egyptian temple of magic that has existed for thousands of years.

The pharaohs of ancient Egypt are far from dead and buried. And neither, unfortunately, are their gods . . .

Rick Riordan has now sold an incredible 55 million copies of his books worldwide

Praise for the Percy Jackson series:

'Witty and inspired. Gripping, touching and deliciously satirical...This is most likely to succeed Rowling. Puffin is on to a winner' - Amanda Craig, The Times

'Puns, jokes and subtle wit, alongside a gripping storyline' - Telegraph

'Perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats' - New York Times

Rick Riordan is an award-winning mystery writer. He lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife and two sons. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief was the overall winner of the Red House Children's Book Award in 2006.

Die Sprecher sprechen etwas zu schnell. In der Geschichte passiert so viel und wenn man sich mit ägyptischer Mythologie nicht auskennt ist es ein bisschen bisschen zu viel zu schnell. Aber ansonsten super spannend und interessant und die Sprecher haben grundsätzlich auch sympathische Stimmen.

Super Buch, aber etwas hektisch

Nice story about the Egyptian Pantheon. But the first person perspective is an acquired taste. As I'm probably not quite the intended target audience at over 30, I found it quite annoying at times. The mystic elements or rather the way the author showed it also reminded me very much of a TV series from my youth called "Papyrus", maybe it served as an inspiration for the author. The readers do an ok job, the American and British accents are decent. The female reader ist not a personal favourite though. All in all alright, but not as good as other books by Riordan.

Ok, not as good as the Percy Jackson Books
