Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer Magnus and the God of the Fairy Palace/Magnus and Nordic Mythology 1: The Sword of Summer My name is Magnus Chase. I'm orphaned and living rough on the streets of Boston. And things are about to get much worse. My day started out normally enough. I was sleeping under a bridge when some guy kicked me awake and said, 'They're after you.' Next thing I know, I'm reunited with my obnoxious uncle, who casually informs me that my long-lost father is a Norse god. Nothing normal about that. And it turns out the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Apparently, if I can't find the sword my father lost two thousand years ago, there will be doom. Doomsday, to be precise. 2. Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor "Magnus and the God of Asgard/Magnus and Nordic Shinhwa 2: The Hammer of Thor" Thor's hammer is missing again. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of misplacing his weapon - the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. But this time the hammer isn't just lost, it has fallen into enemy hands. If Magnus Chase and his friends can't retrieve the hammer quickly, the mortal worlds will be defenseless against an onslaught of giants. Ragnarok will begin. The Nine Worlds will burn. Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer's return is the gods' worst enemy, Loki - and the price he wants is very high. 3. Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead Magnus and the God of Asgard/Magnus and Nordic Shinhwa 3: The Boat of Death Loki the trickster god is free from his chains. Now he's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, armed with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Norse gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It's up to Magnus Chase and his friends to stop Loki's plans. Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon. But Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons… Editor / media recommendation 在浪漫希腊天神世界,神秘的古埃及世界之后,莱尔顿延续他讲故事的功力,以全新的主角,人物,神话故事与场景,打造出另一个迷人的北欧神话世界! 作者简介 雷克·莱尔顿(Richard Russell "Rick" Riordan, Jr.) ,生于1964年6月5日,当今世界畅销童书作家之一,也是畅销书“39条线索系列”的作者之一.他是奇幻小说《波西·杰克逊》的作者,他除了是《波西·杰克逊》的作者外,还是《39条线索》 (The 39 Clues) 系列第一本《骨头迷宫》 (The Maze of Bones) 的作者.莱尔顿还曾经以小说《波西·杰克逊与神火之盗》和《波西·杰克逊与魔兽之海》荣获密苏里州的马克吐温奖.他将神话角色巧妙地融入冒险故事框架中,创作出了“波西·杰克逊系列”小说,深受全球广大青少年读者喜爱,占据各大畅销书排行榜,并获得诸多重要奖项.莱尔顿也经常到各地和大小读者交流写作与生活的心得,目前和家人住在美国得克萨斯州的圣安东尼奥.
