skintennas, sneak suits...

Zeus and his friends are back for another adventure in this latest
Heroes in Training chapter book! Since defeating the Titans, Zeus
and his fellow Olympians have taken over Mount Olympus. Things are
nearly back to normal...until a stranger named Hercules shows up,
asking for help. He's on the run from Eurythseus, King of Argon,
who is after Hercules for egging his temple. Before Zeus can help,
Eurythseus himself appears. It turns out that Hercules has also
been bragging that he is the ruler of Olympus, and Eurythseus
intends to declare war on the Olympians' new home. Zeus's friends
come up with an idea--maybe Hercules could make up for egging
Eurythseus's temple. The Oracle Pythia reveals that in order to do
this, Hercules must get a scale from a huge, nine-headed
serpent--the Hydra. Will this be enough to please Eurythseus? Or is
another battle on the horizon for the Olympians?

"Truth is stranger than fiction," says the old adage. Here,
collected for the first time are eight stories that may just
disprove that theory. In this, his first book, Craig Phillip Dawson
demonstrates with seasoned storytelling just how blurry that line
between truth and fiction can be.
Whether it be in supernatural tales like "The Smart Bomb," the
unseen vengeance of the whiskey trade in "The Living Still," or the
more down-to-earth, but non-stop action of the novelette
"Wheelies," Dawson demonstrates with masterful skill how to cross
that line. Here are eight well-told exercises of the imagination
that truly are--"Stranger than Nonfiction."
A young Poseidon must triumph over aquatic terrors in this Heroes
in Training adventure.
The merciless Cronus and his Titan buddies are in hot pursuit of
Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon, who plan to travel across the treacherous
boiling sea in order to save a fellow Olympian. They have a boat,
but they also have a problem: Poseidon can't swim and is terrified
of the water (well, really of the creatures that lurk in its
depths). The group faces danger after danger as they battle singing
sirens, a fishy and ferocious Titan named Oceanus, and
people-eating monsters sent by Cronus himself. Can Poseidon
overcome his fears and help his fellow heroes escape Cronus and his
cronies?
