The Mark of Athena

The Heroes of Olympus, Book 3

By: Rick Riordan

Narrated by: Joshua Swanson

Annabeth is terrified. Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy - after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera - it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon figurehead, Leo’s fantastical creation doesn’t appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.

And that’s only one of her worries. In her pocket, Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving command: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find - and close - the Doors of Death. What more does Athena want from her?

Annabeth’s biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. What if he’s now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader - but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side.

leo

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

To laughter, yes... something from every section caught my attention

Best book yet.

Sometimes some of Riordan's books have too similar format, and this one still kind of does, but this story is so different overall that it's really one of the best.

Epicly awesome

I love that rick riordand right another book plz ! ! ! ! For ever the Percy Jackson. It is so exercise

amazing

I love it so much I start to think its real. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ life is not what we think

Joshua Swanson kills it.

I read this book around the end of my Junior year of high school. Now that it's been about 7 years it was a whole new experience to me. Joshua really brings the characters to life, and I won't un-hear his version of Leo's voice ever again.

The Mark of Athena. Hero's Serirs

As good as the other books. I can't wait to read/listen to the next book. The narration could be better. His voice is boring at time as if he really isn't into the storyline.

Mark of Athena

It was a good story I love how it performed :-) i love the challenge so I recommend it

AMAZING!

When I read this book it was amazing! I liked the characters, the setting, and the villains. When I listened to this on Audible the voices of the eidolons creeped me out and the voice of Gea too. I say this book is amazing on Audible, I encourage you guys to try it out and let me know what YOU think.

Excellent!

Joshua Swanson did an awesome job. High marks! Great story. Very exciting and adventurous audio!
