With the help of a satyr and a daughter of Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction—Zeus’ master bolt.

Most of all, he must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend.
