La maldición del titán es la trepidante continuación de la serie «Percy Jackson y los Dioses del Olimpo», cuyas anteriores entregas, El ladrón del rayo y El mar de los monstruos, han ocupado el puesto nº 1 en la lista de libros más vendidos de The New York Times y Publishers Weekly.

Ante la llamada de socorro de su amigo el sátiro Grover, Percy acude inmediatamente en su auxilio. Y aunque va acompañado de Annabeth y Thalia, las dos semidiosas que son sus aliadas, ninguno imagina la sorpresa que los aguarda: una terrible mantícora pretende secuestrarlos y llevarlos ante el general enviado por Cronos, el diabólico señor de los titanes.

Sin embargo, gracias a la ayuda de las cazadoras de Artemisa, Percy y sus aliadas logran escapar y volver al campamento mestizo. Una vez allí, emprenderán la búsqueda del monstruo que puede provocar la destrucción del Olimpo, a pesar de que, según la profecía del Oráculo, sólo uno de ellos logrará resistir la maldición del titán.

Sobre «Percy Jackson y los Dioses del Olimpo» se ha dicho:
«No sigas buscando al nuevo Harry Potter: descubre a Percy Jackson, como lo han hecho ya legiones de admiradores.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Rick Riordan's internationally best-selling The Titan's Curse becomes a graphic novel in the hands of comic-book luminaries Robert Venditti, Attila Futaki, and Greg Guilhaumond.
 
A new prophecy leads to a dangerous quest.
 
When Percy receives an urgent distress call from Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he'll need his powerful demigod allies, Annabeth and Thalia, at his side; his trusty bronze sword, Riptide; and a ride from his mom.
 
The demigods race to the rescue, only to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two new powerful half-bloods, whose parentage is unknown. But that's not all that awaits them. The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up his most devious trap yet, and the young heroes have just fallen prey.
 
Now, Percy and his friends are faced with their most dangerous challenge: the chilling prophecy of the Titan's Curse. They must rescue the goddess Artemis by the Winter Solstice, or all will be lost, including Annabeth.
Rick Riordan (San Antonio, Estados Unidos, 1964) es, sin duda, uno de los autores de literatura juvenil más respetados. Profesor de instituto, el fulgurante éxito de la serie «Percy Jackson y los dioses del Olimpo» hizo que pudiera dedicarse a la escritura a tiempo completo.
