The Lost Hero news tidbits

[greenconverses]

The summary of The Lost Hero settles it: Jason Leo is the son Hephaestus. Gloat away, mediate89. The new cover's also on the Amazon link if you haven't seen it yet.

Also, some fun Lost Hero related things from an NY Times interview with RR:

“I know that it will be five books, like ‘Percy Jackson,’” Mr. Riordan said. “I know the premise for each book and who will appear in which, and who the main characters are.”

He added: “I think I can safely say that all of the characters from the ‘Percy Jackson’ series will, at one point or another, make a contribution in the new series.”

...

In the meantime, he said he plans to write one book in each of his ongoing literary franchises every six months – a “Kane Chronicles” novel in the spring, a “Heroes of Olympus” novel in the fall – with the very, very distant possibility that the two series could some day cross over.

“I’ve certainly structured it with the suggestion that the worlds exist side-by-side,” Mr. Riordan said.

He added: “Maybe one of these days, way down the line, we’ll have the ultimate smackdown between the Greeks and the Egyptians. That’s a ways off.”

Ultimate smackdown? YES PLEASE RICK.
