PJ seems to me to be a bit younger than the 20 year old that he portrays in this fast action quest story. He encounters sorcery, tricks, and misdeeds by the other characters. Magic weapons are supplied by Athena, and PJ turns into a hero to envy. He's reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand for his college class, and he's hard pressed to keep up with classes, girlfriends, surfing, and hanging out with friends along with his nighttime forays into the mythological past of Perseus. He must solve a series of riddles to learn what is required of him next to finish the twelve labors of Hercules.

This series would lend itself well to a role playing game. The DiToccos have penned characters that we love and love to hate in a fast paced, intricately plotted adventure that will hold the interest of even reluctant readers, and teach them a bit of Greek mythology.
