After angering his father, Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the 4,000-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus' favor. But Apollo has many enemies - gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed.

Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, Ready Player One is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.

Publisher's Summary
The unabridged, digital audiobook edition of Rick Riordan’s The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid, read by Joseph May and Jane Collingwood.
Percy Jackson fought Greek Gods. Now the Gods of Egypt are waking in the modern world....
I guess it started the night out 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 Southwest 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 so, unfortunately, are their gods....

A new twist on egyptian mythology
Would you consider the audio edition of The Red Pyramid: The Kane Chronicles, Book 1 to be better than the print version?
It is better as an audio book rather than text to speech which is sometimes very difficult to follow.
What other book might you compare The Red Pyramid: The Kane Chronicles, Book 1 to, and why?
Aretimis Fowl by Eoin Colfer because the borders of fantasy and reality cross
Which character – as performed by Jane Collingwood and Joseph May – was your favourite?
Sadie because she gave more background description and it padded out the story
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh, particularly the description of some of the Gods when faced with the modern world
Any additional comments?
You have to read them all because they are great. I hope there will be more in the series.

An excellent book which appeals to both sexes
Would you consider the audio edition of The Red Pyramid: The Kane Chronicles, Book 1 to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Red Pyramid: The Kane Chronicles, Book 1?
There were so many - I can't recall the most memorable. It is jam-packed with exciting moments.
What does Jane Collingwood and Joseph May bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The narrators are excellent - Jane bringing to life Sadie's character and wit and the same for Joseph May.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The relationship between brother and sister is very well portrayed, from initial irritation to a growing love and respect.
Any additional comments?
My family (3 kids aged 11,9 and 7 - boys and girls) listened to this twice through. It's actually better the second time because there is so much information you miss lots the first time through. Listeners learn a lot about Egyptian mythology and Gods, but again you need 2 listenings to get the real knowledge and understanding. Oh - did I say it's very funny in places - Sadie's sarcasm in particular. We all really enjoyed it.

I have had this book less than 2 weeks and have listened to is twice! Having it being read by 2 different voices makes it so easy to listen to. I loved the story even though I have never really followed Egyptian history/legends. Can't wait to get the second book. Enjoy this book I really did!!

Inconsistent voicing for other characters
Great story! Hated the concept of a cast narrators though. The narrators were great in voicing their characters but their inconsistent voicing of other characters threw me off and just made the story unenjoyable. For example, somehow the character Amos was voiced as an American and as an Egyptian.
I think it would’ve been preferable to have one narrator despite the multi perspective concept of the story. It would’ve made everything more consistent and cohesive

Absolutely adore it
I started reading (i had the hard copy as well as this one) this book yesterday and finished today. I could hardly put it down.
I might have finished it yesterday or maybe in the early hours of the morning had I kept reading/listening but I had to go to bed and of I kept listening I'd loose the page I was on ;p
This is very much well worth the listen, if you have the actual book with you like I have and follow along as you listen to the audiobook it makes the story a lot more engaging.
