Laberinto en llamas (Las pruebas de Apolo #Volumen 3)
by Rick RiordanAntes era el glorioso dios Apolo.Ahora es Lester, un simple mortal. No te pierdas el tercer libro de la saga más espectacular de Rick Riordan: #LasPruebasDeApolo. Con la ayuda de algunos amigos semidioses, Lester ha conseguido sobrevivir a las dos primeras pruebas: una en el Campamento Mestizo y la otra en Indianápolis, donde Meg recibió la profecía oscura. Las palabras que pronunció sentada en el Trono de la Memoria revelaron que un dream team de tres emperadores romanos supervillanos planea atacar el Campamento Júpiter. Mientras Leo vuela a toda velocidad para alertar a los miembros del Campamento del peligro inminente , Lester y Meg deberán cruzar el Laberinto para encontrar al tercer emperador (y a un Oráculo que habla con juegos de palabras) en algún punto de suroeste de América. Por suerte, había un verso en la profecía que les da un poco de esperanza: Solo el guía ungulado sabe cómo no perderse. Está claro que van a tener un sátiro que les acompañe y Meg sabe exactamente a quién tiene que pedir este favor. Sobre Las pruebas de Apolo se ha dicho:«Lo peor de terminar de leer un libro de Rick Riordan es tener que esperar meses hasta el siguiente; gracias a los dioses que ha empezado a publicar dos libros al año , y solo nos quedan unos pocos meses para leer algo nuevo de él.»The Best Read Yet «En La profecía oscura volvemos a encontrarnos con las claves del éxito de Rick Riordan. Este autor nunca decepciona y hace que leer sus libros sea una auténtica maravilla. Quiero muchas sagas como las publicadas hasta la fecha.»Vorágine interna «Soy una fan indiscutible de Rick Riordan y me encanta saber que no pierde la chispa. Cada historia es única, divertida, atrayente. Consigue modelar a sus personajes de tal forma que aunque haya miles, los distingues perfectamente unos de otros y, creedme, nos va a hacer falta. En resumen, estoy encantada con esta saga.»Fiebre Lectora
