Battle of the Labyrinth-Percy Jackson Book 4
The fourth installment of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is called Battle of the Labyrinth. It will arrive in bookstores on May 6, 2008. Mr. Riordan is quoted in a Publishers Weekly article as saying "This fourth installment “really raises the stakes". It’s the beginning of a big war between the titans and the gods, and Percy must come to terms with his role in this perplexing world. There’s an invasion in the works and Percy takes his crew into the most dangerous place known in mythology—the labyrinth." Mr. Riordan intends Percy Jackson to be a five book series. “I had always envisioned it as a five-book series, and book five will really wrap up Percy’s story,” Riordan says. We will be sure to have the last two books in the library when they are published.

When will the fifth Percy Jackson and the Olympians come out? What will it be called, and what is the plot?
Posted by: Matthew Hayes at November 5, 2007 5:36 PM
Will Poseidon take a major part in the battle against Kronus... If the Big 3 came together to fight Kronus that would be awesome.
Posted by: Garrett Lane at January 10, 2008 8:55 PM
if you make a fifth book do you think somebody in the series wil die??? and after you finish the series will you make something like the percy jackson series because before you made those books i was totally not a reader but once i heard of youre bok the lightning thief i had to read it and ever since ive been a totall reader.
Posted by: justin reinier at January 13, 2008 8:05 PM
It would be great if Nico joined Cronos. Then, there will be a huge out war and both sides would have a child of the big three. And yeah what is the fifth book called and when is it coming out.
Posted by: Andrew Yu at January 15, 2008 6:59 PM

If anyone has any information about the fourth book could you post it here. Does percy die
Posted by: felipe at January 24, 2008 7:59 AM
I can't wait til book 4 comes out. Book 2 and 3 are my favorite books. I hope book 4 is better. I hope that Mr. Riodan makes 6 instead of 5 because this series is so good. After what happened in book 3, I really want to read the 4th to see what Nico does. If any of you want to see chapter 1, go onto youtube and type in either Rick Riodan, or Chapter 1 of The Battle of the Labryinth. You can also see the cover on google if you type in the title of the book. IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: michael at January 27, 2008 10:09 AM

Posted by: Nick Antonas at February 10, 2008 8:31 PM
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is my favorite book series. The Battle of the Labyrinth, book four, will probably be my favorite. I hope Percy battles Kronos! That would be cool! If you want to hear the first chapter, go to Youtube and click The Battle of the Labyrinth. I hope Mr. Riordan writes at least seven Percy books!!!
Posted by: Matthew Hayes at February 10, 2008 8:43 PM
i understand from the website rickriordan.com and click the latest percy jackson news on the right side it says that fox 2000 is making the lightning theif into a movie
Posted by: Nick Antonas at February 10, 2008 8:46 PM
OMG! I can not believe there is going to be a fourth book.I mean ever since I got these books I can Not put them down.Man I am telling you if you are not a book reader you will be one if you read the percy Jackson & the olympians series.

Posted by: chelsea at February 17, 2008 1:24 PM
I think Rick Riordan should make a movie out of this! Why does Bianca have to get swallowed by that big monster! And Thalia joins the damn hunt! I also thought Thalia liked Percy!

Posted by: Calvin at April 6, 2008 6:46 PM
Guys, the 4th book is amazing. Lets just say i have conections. I just finished the Battle of the Labyrinth today.
Annabeth gets a quest to go into a labyrinth built by Daedalus that lies underground. This labyrinth is how kronos's army is planning on getting into camp half blood. At the camp, there is some guy named quintus who is actually daedalus. meanwhile, annabeth decides to bring percy, tyson and grover to go with her. In the labyrinth, they come up to some farm place where they find Nico di Angelo, the son of hades. At the farm, percy finds he has the power to manipulate water even when he isnt near a water source. He uses this power to empty 4 feet of poop out of a horses stable for a monster who threatens to kill his friends and Nico. percy kills the monster. now to the good stuff. Annabeth and percy split up from tyso and grover after leaving nico at the farm. Grover and tyson think they have a way to Pan. After annabeth and percy talk to Hera, hephaseutus's wife and some other guy, they find out that hephaseutus can help them find daedalus so that luke wont persuade him to help them navigate his labyrinth. Weel heph says they have to go to mount saint helens for something and percy and annabeth kiss. percy releases water on the lava after annabeth left and the volcano explodes sending percy to an island called ogygia where he meets a young lady named calypso.they fall in love but percy has to get back to annabeth. When reunited, they follow the tracks of tyson and grover to a riverside right in front of a great entrance in a cave. When they enter, they find Pan who's essence had been fading. Pan gives a speech and passes a power to grover. Then, Pan dies. A bit further along in the Labyrinth, they find where Kronos is being put back together. Somehow, kronos took over luke and is using him as his body. Kronos awakens as percy is there and percy just barely escapes. They continue and find daedalus's workshop in the heart of the labyrinth. Kronos's army invades but all the members of the quest escape, along with Daedalus. They return to camp. At camp a battle is fought. when it seems all hope is lost for the camp, grover uses Pans power and screams a cry that scared away the army. The Camp wins. Daedlus sacrifices his life so the labyrinth fails so kronos cant ever invade the camp again
When percy returns home, he is turning fifteen. His moms Boyfriend, Paul Blofis, approaches percy and asks for permission to propose. percy says yes. Later on, they get a suprise visit from poseiden. After he leaves, a suprise visit from Nico who says he know how to truely defeat kronos. The end.
I hope you like my detailed reenactment of the Battle of the Labyrinth. Now you dont have to read it.
Posted by: Matt Orini at April 7, 2008 5:18 PM
i cant wait for the next book. The first 3 were amazing. I have so many predictios.
Posted by: Ian at April 7, 2008 5:22 PM
You are the best authour I want your 4th book to come out sooner I want to know what happens so badly!!! What is the next book going to be called?? And just so You Know I am you BIGGEST FAN!!!
Posted by: Paige at April 8, 2008 6:57 PM
these books are absolutely great i love them when does the fifth one come out although i havent read the 4 one yet. But i twould not be cool if Nico joined lukes army with that power and how much he knows, and he is still young if the prophesy is about percy then he will still have two years to train. when he unleashes that power im sure it will be much greater than percy or thalias power, and even worse if the prophesy is about him he will have like 7 years to train. But anyway i cant wait for the next book to come out. These books remind me about world of warcraft i dont know if any of yall play it But its awsome to.
Posted by: logan duncan at April 10, 2008 8:10 PM
Whoever said that Nancy Bobofit is coming back, I was thinking the same thing, because on youtube when Rick Riordan is reading a small part of the first chapter, it says somehing about a red haired girl he sees. I think that that is Nancy because he abviously doesn't want to bump into her. Also it says on Wikipedia that he bumps into a mortal he once knew. It also says that there will be a new character named Rachel, so it might be her.
Posted by: Alex at April 12, 2008 6:02 PM
Oh yeah! one more thing. I just realized this, the red haired girl might be the girl in the 3rd book who can see through the mist. If I remember correctly, in she's described as a red haired girl too.
Posted by: Alex at April 12, 2008 6:07 PM
Someone please erase Calvin's comments on book 4? Please! You'll ruin the book for anyone else who glances at the posts. That was really lousy. Very sad...
Posted by: Grover at April 15, 2008 8:20 PM

Posted by: kiki at April 21, 2008 8:10 AM
i dont know calvin but whoever said that a girl rachel is i the next book is right. I read the book already and calvins reenactment is perfect. Also, rachel is the same red headed girl in the 3rd book that can see through the mist. percy uses rachel to navigate the labyrinth. every one read calvins entry 10 up from mine. its great
Posted by: Nick at April 23, 2008 12:06 PM

I can't wait until the 4th book comes out!I'm really excited!I have a feeling that Nico is the one,and that Grover is going to find that Pan dude.
Posted by: Alejandra Fraume at May 2, 2008 9:05 PM
It would be sososo awesome if All of the Gods would team up with all of the half-bloods and the hunters, and they would fight the Titans and all of the old spirits.
Basically, Ultimate good vs. ultimate evil = ALL OUT SUPERPOWER WAR!

Posted by: ezzy at May 3, 2008 5:12 PM
got the book in the mail today, on the 3rd chapter =]
i absolutely love this series. honestly, it teaches so much about the greek myths yet is still excruciatingly suspenseful and funny. once i finish this, i won't be able to wait for the last installment.
heck, i don't want it to EVER end!
Posted by: rebecca at May 6, 2008 6:41 PM
I can't wait for Book 5. I love these books, take it from a book reader they're amazing. I really wanna see Percy and Annabeth get together, they so like each other.
Posted by: hteuujqregsa at May 6, 2008 9:51 PM
I finished book..... wicked awesome. In fifth book, he's supposed to wake up in 100 years. The ending of the fourth book totaly leads up to it. That's all Im gonna say.......
Posted by: FanMan at May 7, 2008 5:48 PM
Hey these are such good books. I read the 4th book in 2 days!! Really good you have to read it. I think that Rick Riordan should follow up on Annabeth and Percy.
Posted by: Caelyn at May 8, 2008 9:19 PM
ok im getting the 4th book tommorow and no offense but it seems like every one in this forum knows nothing about greek mythology and they all seem to think its reall
DONT TAKE THIS TOO SERIOUSLY
the order of the books on how good they are states as follows:2,3,1
Posted by: Alex at May 8, 2008 9:28 PM
I just finished the Battle of the Labyrinth and it was the best ever!!! Why are there only five books in the series??!! I barely read anything at all before these books but when my friend introduced them to me I was hooked!! Now I don't know what I'll do for books though. I loved the Greek and magical things.I soo hope that Annabeth and Percy start dating in the fifth book.
Posted by: Cam at May 11, 2008 11:18 PM
The best book in the series i read it in 5 hrs so great and dose anyone have a link to the next book if so email me at eiffel_tower@sbcglobal.net
Posted by: Ethan at May 13, 2008 3:33 PM
Is the 4th book good I have'it got to buy a copy at barns and noble I want one by this friday. Do Percy and annabeth hook up?
Posted by: Katrina at May 13, 2008 8:48 PM
i know plenty about greek mythology, caelyn. i agree that most of these people don't with their comments of "OMG I WANT ANNABETH AND PERCY TO GET TOGETHER"
that's not what the books are really about.
book 4 was somewhat disappointing. boring, even, with little character development. i feel as if percy still acts as if he's in 6th grade and the writing is week. and the way the mythology was integrated into the book wasn't as intriguing as the last books.
book 3 was definitely the most suspenseful, i say
Posted by: rebecca at May 14, 2008 2:31 PM
can you write the 5th book kind of fast and make it really really long because i got the 4th book the day it came out and read it in only 2 days! thats like a record for me because i read really really really slow but this was different. i never ever ever ever want the series to end!!
Posted by: Mark at May 17, 2008 7:34 AM
this 4th book was flippin awsome i cant wait for the 5th book. i want to know what the next book is called you rock rick
Posted by: cj at May 17, 2008 3:43 PM
Please make the fifth book soon
I love your series
Posted by: Desmond at May 18, 2008 6:53 PM
Omg, i loved the 4th book. once i was done, i read it out loud 2 my sister. And she's 11 years old. Not that she can't read, but she loves the siereis as much as i do, and i've read them all to her. i am so hooked on these books, the 4th one actually made me cry. Can't wait for book 5, and i think every book is better thatn the one before it, even though the 3rd one and thte 4th one are almsot tied, cause i really liked the hunters. i heard they're making the lighting thief into a movie. i hope its as good as the books.
Posted by: Angie at May 19, 2008 7:54 PM
OMG i love these books!!! Rick Riordan should totally write like seven books. five isn't enuff but like ten is too many. I love the Hunters. i've always loved reading, but these books are my absoulute favorite books ever!!!
Posted by: Christine at May 19, 2008 8:08 PM

Posted by: Brett Hauser at May 22, 2008 10:44 AM
Just got done reading the 4th cant wait for the 5th sad the series has to end. I agree with Rebecca I got the book and i finished it like right away. I'm not so sure about hi writing it super fast though. I mean ya i want it o come out soon but it should still be really good. Plus it's the last book and he should take his time and make sure he's writing the best book EVA.
RICK RULZ ALL (even more tha chuck norris)
Posted by: Carson at May 22, 2008 5:26 PM

But I am goung to have to get the 5th book. AND AND AND... When that guys turns himself into half mecanic in the 4th book wouldnt he need help from the smith god and leto (Leto is a titan, the inventer of automatons)

Your books are awesome
Posted by: Domonick at June 2, 2008 12:02 AM
i m dying to find out what happens
Posted by: zac at June 4, 2008 5:16 AM
I need to Know when the fifth book comes out?
Posted by: Johnathan Archuleta at June 4, 2008 9:53 PM
These books are the only books i can really get into! I love this series and I'm soooo disapointed that there will be only 1 more book coming out! Maybe Rick will start to write a whole new series! that would be GREAT!
Posted by: Amy at June 8, 2008 4:41 PM
OMG!!! book 4 is GREATER THAN GREAT!!! i seriously hope that percy and annabeth make up!!! also, i hope percy gets to see calypso again because it would add a MAJOR twist to the story if percy had to choose between annabeth, calypso, and maybe even R.E.D.!!! it would be SO great if luke died because he is a BACKSTABBING TRAITOR!!! he SO DOESN'T deserve annabeth's love and, in my opinion, she would be better of loving a WALL. that's how much I hate luke.PERCABETH FOREVER!!! (or MAYBE percalypso-not EVEN percel)
Posted by: artemis at June 10, 2008 12:02 PM
it says on sum webstites that the 5th book is called the Lost Chariot r watever, but thats a short story written between the 2 and 3rd books, so it's a bit confusing, but i am almost posittive the 5th boook isnt thte Stolen Chariot. 5th book will be out tho, in spring of 09.

It sucks that its going to be a year until the next book comes out, also it sucks that its the last book because this is a great series that should have like, 7 or 8 books. Oh well though, all i can do is hope book 5 is really long and great.
Plus Percy and Annabeth should just get married or something.

I was already addicted to books when I started reading the series but now own 1-4 books! It is my very favorite series other than Nancy Drew and I hope that Rick makes the series go on until he can't think of anything else to write!:) I really want to know what the title is of the fifth book and what it is about. I EVEN DAYDREAM ABOUT ME BEING IN THIS BOOK!

I hope the next book isn't short because I'm usually sooooo excited about it I read the whole thing in just one day! Please don't let the title be The Stolen Chariot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, i just found out that there's gonna be a Percy Jackson Lihtning Thief movie! it'll cum out in 09 and its directed by Chris Columbus, who did the first Harry Potter movie! i think AnnaSophia robb would be great for Annabeth, and Josh Hutcherson would be good for Percy, but they were in Bridge to Terebithia together, so that mite mess thing up, but i cant think of anyone else to be Percy, or Annabeth. Any ideas?

OMG i totally loved theese books!!! but i hate that a lot of people just talk about Annabeth and Percy being a couple and stuff like that. thats nt even the point of the whole story. i mean, i like a romance book as much as the next girl, but theese books arent all about that. they're cute together and junk, but you know, the books are about Percy's adventures, so that obsession with Pery and Annabeth being "boyfriend and girlfriend" kinda gets on my nerves.

It only took me about a week to read books 1-3. these books are the best he should total make more than five books and then make them in to movies because alot more people would read the books.

i love these books so much! the 4th was so amazing!i really hope luke dosent die!! he was like my favorite character in the first book. i truthfully think luke and annabeth should be bf and gf, but thatsjust my opinion, i just think its so unfair how everyone hates luke. i mean, hes obviousy VERRY troubled, and obviously does still love annabeth. anyway i hope there are more than 5 books!!

o my god these book are trully great. Rick was smart to make books bout the highest interest of young readers.GREEK MYTHOLOGY! not only are they funny but they spark a beleiveable addicting interest. but it kills me to wait till the spring of 2009 for the 5th book grrrrr
Posted by: danie at July 15, 2008 7:52 PM
Awesome series! I read every book about 20 times! Its a real shame that the 5th book is the last. It would be cool if Percy and Annabeth end up going out in the 5th book even though their parents r rivals. They'd make a good couple.

I don't care whether Percy and annabeth,"hook up".
I'm waiting to see if Percy beats Kronos.
P.S. KRONOS: "Percy, I am your grandfather."

PPL! percy and annabeth getting together is not the main point of this book! i wanna know how kronos got to take over luke's body! i want to read the fith book so bad! WHO WINS!!!!!!!!!!! ITS TORTURE FOR A BOOKWORM TO WAIT TO LONG FOR A BOOK! and if you wanna read a romantic book or something (girls!) then read twilight! (and boys)

the last olympian book is the last book in the series. :(
im very sad about that because this series is really great and before i heard o this series i loved reading but then i stopped because my books got boring then my boyfriend started reading the lightning thief then i started and i loved it so i read all the books up to battle of labrinth.
So please please ,Rick, make more than five!!!! i beg of you to please make MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think that rachel is going to die saving percy and that annabeth is going to kill luke herself. because why would someone that been in the all 4 books die and not the one thats only been in 2. and annabeth needs to get over luke
