Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief The gods of Olympus are alive in the 21st Century, except now they live in NYC. They still fall in love with mortals and have children who might become great heroes. Percy (aka Perseus) Jackson is one of those children. No sooner has he discovered that his father is Poseidon, than he must embark on a quest to avert war among the gods. Zeus’ master bolt (the original Weapon of Mass Destruction) has been stolen and only Percy can bring it back. But first he’s got to find it . . .
