Riordan will tour the country through October 15, appearing in seven more U.S. The launch, at Temple Ohabei Shalom in Brookline, Mass., is sponsored by Porter Square Books in Cambridge and sold out within days of being announced in mid-August. As anyone not trapped in Hades for the past six months must know, the fifth and final novel in the series is scheduled for release on October 7. It’s a week before the release of Blood of Olympus, and the excitement is building: readers everywhere are eager to get their hands on the last installment in Rick Riordan’s Heroes of Olympus series about seven demi-gods in the modern world who are racing against time to prevent the earth goddess, Gaia, from awakening.
