Jason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she's his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad kids." What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea-except that everything seems very wrong.
Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn't recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood.
What is going on? Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. What's troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper's gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all-including Leo-related to a god.
Rick Riordan, the best-selling author of the Percy Jackson series, pumps up the action and suspense in The Lost Hero, the first book in The Heroes of Olympus series. Fans of demi-gods, prophesies, and quests will be left breathless--and panting for Book Two.
傑森有個麻煩。他只記得在校車上醒來時,牽著一個女孩的手,在這之前發生的事,他都不記得了。這個女孩顯然是他的女友派波,而他最要好的朋友是一個叫做里歐的小孩,他們都是荒野學校的學生。荒野學校是寄宿學校,招收的學生都是「壞孩子」。傑森到底做了什麼事,才會淪落到此處?他實在想不透。不過他發現,這裡的一切都好怪。
派波有個秘密,她的爸爸已經失蹤三天了,而她做的惡夢,十分逼真,顯示她的爸爸正處於危險之中,而且現在傑森並不認得派波。校外教學時,不尋常的暴風雨和奇怪的生物襲來,派波、傑森和里歐被吹到一個叫做「混血營」的地方。
這到底是怎麼一回事?里歐善於使用工具,他在混血營的新小屋就有許多工具。說真的,混血營完全把荒野學校比下去了,因為這裡有武器訓練課程、怪物和面貌姣好的女孩。真正該擔心的是大家一直在說的詛咒,還有混血營的成員失蹤一事。最怪異的是他同寢室的伙伴,一直堅持他們和里歐都和一位神祇有關係。
雷克.萊爾頓是暢銷小說家,著有《波西傑克森》系列。這次他在《混血營英雄》系列書籍的第一冊《迷路英雄》中,將動作和懸疑方面,提升到了新的層次。喜愛半神、預言和騎士的書迷,一定會屏息且迫不及待第二冊的出版。
