Hardcover, $19.99.  ISBN: 978-142314060-3.

The Heroes of Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter are back in this third installment in the Heroes of Olympus Series!
The mark of Athena. 3.

For the first time in centuries, the students from the Greek Camp Half Blood have met the students from the Roman Camp Jupiter.  The students are hoping to align their forces in order to defeat Gaea in her attempt to awaken the Giants and overthrow Olympus.  Unfortunately, just as the two camps are meeting for the first time, someone launches a barrage at Camp Jupiter, and the Greek demigods are blamed,  With old tensions reignited, seven students- a mix from both camps - leave on a quest to keep Gaea from awakening, follow the Mark of Athena, close deaths doors, find the missing Nico, and, oh yeah, save the world.  

While the seven are attempting to fly across the ocean in Leo's ship, The Argo, the Romans have sworn vengeance upon the Greeks for the destruction of their camp.  The Roman demigods race across the country to destroy camp Half-Blood.

Join Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Leo, Hazel, Frank, and Piper as they race against time in the Argo 2...
