The New Heroes of Olympus

Everybody has at least heard of Percy Jackson.  The first book in the series, The Lightning Thief, was turned into a movie, and The Sea of Monsters is slated to come out August 7th of this year.  But, instead of leaving the demigods to rest with The Last Olympian, Rick Riordan decided to take it one step further.  He wrote the Heroes of Olympus series.  My first impression of this book was: Who in the world is Jason??  As I read further, I was intrigued.  Why couldn't he remember any of his past life?  What was his story?  Overall, I was completely impressed with the many layers that he created with each person's story and how they were all intertwined.  I am currently searching for the next two books in the series, The Son of Neptune and The Mark of Athena.  The other day, I almost fell out of my chair when I discovered that he has also released book number four- The House of Hades.  I highly recommend this series and anything else written by Rick Riordan, for that matter.
