Another extraordinary write of the myth magician.This book provides the necessary dashing start to any series. It takes back to the old days in Egypt. Desert , Nile, gods, pyramids and what not. But, with a twist in time. Rick Riordan has been able to keep the goodness of mythology and also bind it spectacularly in the 21 st century. This blossom of two eras comes perfect in this book which is a must read for all mythology fans.
This is the first book in the Kane Chronicles series. It is based on Egyptian mythology; it depicts the story of Carter and his sister Sadie. The Egyptian gods have been unleashed in the mortal world. They learn that their family is descended from the ancient Egyptian bloodlines; and they are magicians. It is up to them to learn their powers with no one with them except for Bast, the cat Goddess. The mythmaster Rick Riordan has truly given one of his best selling series. Carter and Sadie learn that they host the Egyptian gods –Horus and Isis. They have to defeat the god of evil, the lieutenant of the sun god Ra-Set. They must learn his secret name from his wife Nephthys goddess of Nile. Their uncle Amos is possessed by Set and their father sacrifices himself to become the host of Osiris. It is a very nice and fantabulous book.
The author of the wildly popular Percy Jackson series introduces a new set of heroes to his legions of fans in Book One of the Kane Chronicles series. Siblings Carter and Sadie Kane have been raised on opposite sides of the globe—Sadie with her grandparents in London and Carter with his father, who travels the world studying Egyptian artifacts. Once a year, the Kane siblings get together, and this time the visit starts with a bang—the Rosetta Stone explodes and their father is taken away in a magical coffin. And that’s just in the first few pages! Part Men in Black, part Avatar, this nonstop thriller reads like a movie. Sadie and Carter, who barely know each other, are thrust into confusing situations where nothing is quite what it seems to be. They soon learn that animals, people and everyday objects in the modern world have links to Egyptian magic and religion. Indeed, the Kane family is part of a lineage that leads all the way back to the first Egyptians. The Red Pyramid takes place in a magical world with its own rules and history; the numerous mentions of Egyptian gods had me running to reference guides and making lists of names to keep up. Sadie and Carter spend most of their time fighting monsters and one another and just a bit of time really getting to know each other. No doubt future volumes in this action-packed adventure series will flesh out this sister-and-brother team a little more thoroughly.
THE BOOK IS WRITTEN BY RICK RIORDAN- THE MYTH MASTER. THAT SAYS ENOUGH. THIS FACT ONLY MAKES THE BOOK A MASTER PEICE. IT IS AN AWESOME BOOK. THE MAIN PROTAGNINSTS ARE Brother and sister Carter and Sadie come face to face with ancient Egyptian gods, magicians, and god-monsters. There are plenty of battle scenes against gods and monsters that feel very much like fantasy, with a bit of bloodshed, and some scenes in a bleak afterlife. At the beginning of the book Carter and Sadie, who lost their mother a few years before, deal with the disappearance of their father, whom they fear will never return. Carter and Sadie, despite their differences (raised different places, and Carter looks more like his black father while Sadie looks like their white mother), are constantly looking out for each other as they deal with some harsh realities about Egyptian history and their place in it.

The children then have to battle with a super-evil egyptian god, and release their dad from a powerful spell. Jjust awesome. The book is a must read.
