About this book

The Red Pyramid (2010) opens The Kane Chronicles: siblings Carter and Sadie Kane, barely acquainted since their mother's death split the family apart, are thrust into a battle against the god Set after their Egyptologist father vanishes -- narrated in alternating chapters as a transcribed warning the Kanes leave behind.
