A totally absorbing narrative filled with authentic historical characters and sweeping action set in an age of horrifying but magnificent savagery. The writing is as compelling as the events described and kept me eagerly leaping from one page to the next’ – Wilbur Smith’As with the two previous books, this is well researched, while the deadly intrigues and the sight and sounds of the Moghul court are colourfully and effectively portrayed. The battle scenes are exciting…the writing is seamless. This series has developed into a fascinating insight into the rise and fall of a great and glorious dynasty. Bloody battles, brutal killings and treachery – what more could you ask for?’ – US Historical Novel Society‘A tale of ambition, power and death. The book is definitely a must read if not for anything but to get a feel of India’s past.’ – Post Noon (India) on The Tainted Throne‘The hand-to-hand combat pulsates with heroic vigor and plentiful gore, sure to entertain fans, and the climax paves the way for the next epic entry.’ – Publishers Weekly on A Kingdom Divided‘The prose is athletic, the action never lags … Rutherford writes like a crack reporter covering war from the front lines.’ – Time Out, Mumbai‘A compulsively readable epic’ – Good Book Guide

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR RICK RIORDAN COMES AN EXCITING PERCY JACKSON SEVEN BOOKS BOXSET, PERFECT FOR PERCY JACKSON FANS!

Includes: The complete Percy Jackson series (Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief, Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters, Percy Jackson and the Titan’s Curse, Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth, Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian), plus two companion books, Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods, Percy Jackson and the Greek Heroes

Available in paperback with enchanting cover arts, all the seven books of the Percy Jackson series (including two companion books) are included in this box set. The book follows the entire story of Percy, a boy set in modern times who discovers he is a demi-God. Son of Poseidon, he was abandoned by his father because of an oath to not father any more kids. Percy’s journey turns more electrifying when he finds other demi-God kids in a camp. With his friends Annabeth and Luke by his side, who are a fair mix of sharp and harsh; his best friend and companion Grover, who Percy finds out is actually his bodyguard, his journey across the mystic worlds begins. Percy soon finds himself fulfilling extraordinary quests and completing battles with gods. Percy’s cosmic battles in the five books are a delight to an imaginative mind. From finding Zeus’ bolt of lightning to stop the world from falling into mayhem, to his quest in the Sea of Monsters to rescue Grover and the golden fleece. Percy’s fight with the Titan Atlas, his trip to the legendary Cretan labyrinth and his last encounter with Lost Kronos to save Olympus are beautifully described in the seven books.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief:
I was just a normal kid, I went to school (got expelled a lot, but that wasn’t my fault), played sports and hung out with my best friend.Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.

Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters:
I look like a normal kid. Only there’s a difference. Poseidon, God of the Sea is my dad. Which sounds cool, but actually means there is usually someone (or something), somewhere, trying to kill me.

Percy Jackson and the Titan’s Curse:
My life could have been the same as an ordinary teenager. Except my dad is Poseidon, and I live in a camp full of half Gods and mythical creatures.So instead, my days are spent combatting half-lion half-humans and trying to live a somewhat normal life.

Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth:
Being the son of a Greek God, nothing in my life has been straightforward. Or monster-free. And it looks like that’s not going to change anytime soon now that my arch enemy.

Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian:
Normally when you turn sixteen you get a really cool present.But, being sixteen and the son of Poseidon can never be that simple. So instead, I get a prophecy that says the fate of the entire world on my shoulders. Great.

Percy Jackson and the Greek Heroes:
In this gripping follow-up to Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods, demigod Percy Jackson tells the stories of twelve of the original Greek heroes in all their gory, bloodthirsty glory.

Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods:
In this action-packed tour of Greek mythology, Percy gives his hilarious personal views on the feuds, fights and love affairs of the Olympians.
