Rick Riordan has done it again, the creater of Percy Jackson has created a new brilliant series, "The Kane Chronicles". The first in this series is "The Red Pyramid", we have it in the library now. Julius Kane goes to London with his son, Carter, and his daughter, Sadie, to visit the British Museum for a "research experiment" on the Rosetta Stone, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian God, Set, who banishes him to Duat and forces the children to flee for their lives, in the process, creating a huge explosion. However, the Rosetta Stone is completely unharmed.
Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the Gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them, Set, has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe, a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family, and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.
