About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

The Red Pyramid: the first audiobook in Rick Riordan's The Kane Chronicles.

Percy Jackson fought Greek Gods. Now the Gods of Egypt are waking in the modern world...

'I GUESS IT STARTED THE NIGHT OUR DAD BLEW UP THE BRITISH MUSEUM . . .'

CARTER AND SADIE KANE'S dad is a brilliant Egyptologist with a secret plan that goes horribly wrong. An explosion shatters the ancient Rosetta stone and unleashes Set, the evil god of chaos . . .

Set imprisons Dr Kane in a golden coffin and Carter and Sadie must run for their lives. To save their dad, they embark on a terrifying quest from Cairo to Paris to the American South-west and discover the truth about their family's connection to the House of Life: an Egyptian temple of magic that has existed for thousands of years.

The pharaohs of ancient Egypt are far from dead and buried. And neither, unfortunately, are their gods . . .

Rick Riordan has now sold an incredible 55 million copies of his books worldwide

Inconsistent voicing for other characters

Great story! Hated the concept of a cast narrators though. The narrators were great in voicing their characters but their inconsistent voicing of other characters threw me off and just made the story unenjoyable. For example, somehow the character Amos was voiced as an American and as an Egyptian.
I think it would’ve been preferable to have one narrator despite the multi perspective concept of the story. It would’ve made everything more consistent and cohesive

Captivating

A captivating story for young and old. Rick Riordan always manages to inspire us to learn about the ancient myths that inspire his writing.
