The Face of Apollo (Book of the Gods, Volume 1)

Centuries ago, it seemed that the gods had deserted humanity. But, now, suddenly they are back. Not only the sun god Apollo, but his unrelenting enemy-dark Hades, Lord of the Underworld, greedy for human bodies and sould to gather into his domain. And others, including Thanatos, the personification of Death the enigmatic Trickster; and Hephaestus the Smith, the wonderworker of magical technology. The past meets the present in a struggle of wills, and neither Jeremy nor the world he inhabits will ever be the same A mythological fantasy in which a woman gives the hero, Jeremy Redthorn, the mask of Apollo, the god of light slain by Hades, the ruler of the underworld. Jeremy puts it on and in a flash is transformed into Apollo himself, whereupon he sets off for Mount Olympus to settle scores with Hades. By the author of On Merlin's Bones
