Audiobook: Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Chapter 5 Synopsis: The first volume of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians saga, The Lightning Thief was among the first places on the list of best-selling series by The New York Times. The author combines legends of Greek mythology with adventures in the 21st century. In them, the gods of Olympus are still alive, still fall in love with mortals and generate children who are half-gods, half-humans, like the heroes of ancient Greece. Marked by fate, they rarely make it past adolescence. Few manage to discover their identity. The problem child Percy Jackson is one of them. He has strange experiences in which mythological gods and monsters seem to jump from the pages of the books straight into his life. Worse than that: some of these creatures are quite angry. A precious artifact was stolen from Mount Olympus and Percy is the main suspect. To restore peace, he and his friends - young modern heroes - will have to do more than capture the real thief: they must elucidate a betrayal more threatening than the wrath of the gods.
