At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors from both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?
 
They have no choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.
 
This paperback edition will include a never-before-seen short story, "The Crown of Ptolemy," in which Percy and Annabeth fight alongside Carter and Sadie Kane, and more bonus content!

IT WAS AMAZING! LOVED IT! MAGOR FAN-GIRLING HERE!!!!!

Wow this is a good book! It's not really laid back and calm, but it's very eventful and i definitely recommend it to all the people who want a book that has a lot of twists and turns.

Awesome book! I finished it and now I'm reading The Son of Neptune.

I finished this book and I can't wait for the next! There are many cliff-hangers making it nearly impossible to stop reading the book. At first when I encountered the series, I was like "oh well, this is not a good series." I was defiantly wrong. Once I got into the second chapter of the first book, I could not stop reading! The books got better and better, and the fourth, was the best. Percy and Annabeth are stuck in Tarterus, a place where it is nearly impossible to escape. Meanwhile, the Warship crew is headed toward the House of Hades. There is a slight chance they can get Percy and Annabeth out of Tartus. Also, the Doors of Death are open, meaning once a demigod or god kills a monster, the monster reforms back in Tartus and goes back to the mortal wold. If they close the Doors of Death, stopping the evil titan Gaia, the goddess of earth, will have some hope. If they do not stop Gaia, the wold will be hers forever. I like this book better than any other book I have read. When the next book comes out, I will read it in about a day.

I love this book i've read the whole series so far!
