The Lost Hero
''The Lost Hero'' is a 2010 fantasy-adventure novel written by Rick Riordan and is based on Greek and Roman mythology. It is the first book in the series ''The Heroes of Olympus'', the second series about demigods and Camp Half-Blood. It was preceded by the ''Percy Jackson & the Olympians'' series, which focused solely on Greek mythology.
The book received generally positive reviews, and managed to win the Barnes & Noble Best Book of 2010 and landed on five bestseller lists, not including charts in the United Kingdom.〔 The book is the first within the Percy Jackson universe to use Riordan's new style of writing, third person narration, where the point of view switches between the main characters- Jason, Piper, and Leo.
==Development and promotion==
After realizing how many Greek and Roman myths he had left untouched as well the immense success of the original series, Riordan began writing a second series, using inspiration for his storyline from experiences that he and his children had while playing video and role-playing games such as ''World of Warcraft'' and ''Scion''. After creating the storyline, Riordan created three new main characters—Jason, Piper, and Leo—but continued to use the previous main characters such as Annabeth and Grover as secondary characters. Unlike the ''Percy Jackson & the Olympians'' series which uses first-person narration solely from Percy's point of view, the second series is told in third-person, with the point of view alternating between various main characters. In ''The Lost Hero'', those characters are Jason, Piper, and Leo. Although initially uncertain how fans would react, Riordan later found that they enjoyed the new format, as it allowed them to learn more about each character.
The novel begins on December 17, 2009, several months after the events of ''The Last Olympian'', which concluded in August. This allowed continuity with the first series, so previous characters could be included and readers would not be confused. Riordan says that "it was my way of letting them revisit that world in a fresh twist, but also to catch up with Percy and Annabeth and the rest of the gang from the first series".〔 He also decided to include the Roman gods after many readers requested that Riordan write a new series on Roman gods, who are the Roman equivalent of the Greek gods, with some minor changes in personality. He pondered on how the Roman aspect of the gods would be after moving from Greece to Rome to America. After a while, "playing with that idea gave me the idea for the new series".〔
