Rick Riordan's Big Year
The bestselling author has two brand-new series and a film of his first book ...With two new trilogies launching this year, Percy Jackson author Rick Riordan stands likely to boost his already (ahem) Olympian output—and sales. On May 4, Disney-Hyperion will release one million copies of The Red Pyramid, first in his Kane Chronicles series inspired by ancient Egyptian magic. And in October it will publish an as-yet-unnamed Percy Jackson spin-off, which will combine familiar characters with some new half-human, half-Greek-god kids.
