About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

The Red Pyramid: the first audiobook in Rick Riordan's The Kane Chronicles.

Percy Jackson fought Greek Gods. Now the Gods of Egypt are waking in the modern world...

'I GUESS IT STARTED THE NIGHT OUR 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 South-west 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 neither, unfortunately, are their gods . . .

Rick Riordan has now sold an incredible 55 million copies of his books worldwide

Praise for the Percy Jackson series:

'Witty and inspired. Gripping, touching and deliciously satirical...This is most likely to succeed Rowling. Puffin is on to a winner' - Amanda Craig, The Times

'Puns, jokes and subtle wit, alongside a gripping storyline' - Telegraph

'Perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats' - New York Times

Rick Riordan is an award-winning mystery writer. He lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife and two sons. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief was the overall winner of the Red House Children's Book Award in 2006.

I've read 'The Red Pyramid' before. And I won't be the first to tell you - not having your mind's voice recite a book to you takes some getting used to by itself - being my 1st audiobook and all.

While I enjoy the story and after some getting used to my mind accepted the voices of Sadie and Carter - I just couldn't get adjust to Carter, Amos, etc. being voiced by the female voice actor or Bast, Sadie, etc. by the male. Especially when Carter sounds like an American man one moment and Ash Ketchum the next.

While I understand it's harder work I'd much rather have a constant voice actor for each character - and it probably is just the 'voice recording' theme this series has that's causing such trouble for my simple mind!🤣

The story is good - very "Riordan-esque". No spoilers. And I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Good story, unnatural voice work.

Good but Zia sounds like an old lady. She should sound more like Sadie and Carter.
