AS DESCENDANTS OF THE HOUSE OF LIFE, THE KANES HAVE SOME POWERS AT THEIR COMMAND, BUT THE DEVIOUS GODS HAVEN’T GIVEN THEM MUCH TIME TO MASTER THEIR SKILLS AT BROOKLYN HOUSE, WHICH HAS BECOME A TRAINING GROUND FOR YOUNG MAGICIANS. AND NOW THEIR MOST THREATENING ENEMY YET - THE CHAOS SNAKE APOPHIS - IS RISING. IF THEY DON’T PREVENT HIM FROM BREAKING FREE IN A FEW DAYS’ TIME, THE WORLD WILL COME TO AN END. IN OTHER WORDS, IT’S A TYPICAL WEEK FOR THE KANE FAMILY. TO HAVE ANY CHANCE OF BATTLING THE FORCES OF CHAOS, THE KANES MUST REVIVE THE SUN GOD RA. BUT THAT WOULD BE A FEAT MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY MAGICIAN HAS EVER ACCOMPLISHED. FIRST THEY HAVE TO SEARCH THE WORLD FOR THE THREE SECTIONS OF THE BOOK OF RA, THEN THEY HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO CHANT ITS SPELLS. OH, AND DID WE MENTION THAT NO ONE KNOWS WHERE RA IS EXACTLY? NARRATED IN TWO DIFFERENT WISECRACKING VOICES, FEATURING A LARGE CAST OF NEW AND UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS, AND WITH ADVENTURES SPANNING THE GLOBE, THIS SECOND INSTALLMENT IN THE KANE CHRONICLES IS NOTHING SHORT OF A THRILL RIDE. ★本書中譯版《埃及守護神2：火焰的王座》由遠流出版。作者簡介雷克．萊爾頓 (RICK RIORDAN) 美國知名作家，寫過許多膾炙人口的小說，其最著名作品為風靡全球並曾改拍成電影的【波西傑克森】系列。 在完成波西與希臘天神的故事後，萊爾頓緊接著的【埃及守護神】系列改以古埃及的神靈與文化為背景，打造出全新奇幻場域。【混血營英雄】系列則延續了混血營的故事，並加入羅馬神話的元素，波西在故事中仍佔有極重分量。 萊爾頓在創作【波西傑克森】之前，就曾以【特雷斯．納瓦荷】系列勇奪推理小說界的愛倫坡、夏姆斯、安東尼三大獎項；他也是【39條線索】系列的策劃者與作者之一。他早期是一位英文老師及小提琴演奏家，從事教職達十五年之久，因此對青少年、校園生活及教育議題有相當程度的了解和熱情。他同時也是兩個男孩的父親，他的兒子不僅是【波西傑克森】系列的重要推手，也是他目前所有創作的頭號讀者。 想進一步了解雷克．萊爾頓的相關資訊，請上他的個人網站：WWW.RICKRIORDAN.COM RICK RIORDAN IS AN AWARD-WINNING WRITER.
