I hope everyone at home is ready for a high energy episode because this one has everything! The stakes are high aboard the Princess Andromeda as we discuss our heroes encounter with Luke. A duel of wits ensues between Percy Jackson and Luke Castellan, and Jack and Connor are taking the time to analyze every detail of the confrontation. But that's not all this chapter has to offer. Tyson really shines in this chapter, so we're discussing what makes him such a valuable member of the team and part of the story and how he functions differently than Grover. And finally, we of course have a myth to discuss as we are introduced to the great-grandsons of Ares, the Bear Twins Agrius and Oreius!

Listen in as Jack and Connor find their spirits further revived as Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson navigate zombie passengers and haunting dreams aboard the Princess Andromeda. We're discussing Percy and Tyson's brotherly dynamic, trying accents from down-under, and—wait a minute is that Luke?

For another chapter where our main characters remain in one place, this one really moves things forward! Let us steal a moment of your time as Jack and Connor break down a chapter filled with intrigue as Percy and Annabeth work together once more to make a plan to save Grover and the rest of Camp Half-blood, battle wits against Tantalus, and meet with Hermes, god of messengers.
