In order to get back home, Tristan and these new allies will need to entice the god Anansi, the Weaver, to come out of hiding and seal the hole in the sky.

Percy is confused. When he awoke after his long sleep, he didn''t know much more than his name. His brain-fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa told him he is a demigod and trained him to fight. Somehow Percy manages to make it to the camp for half-bloods, despite the fact that he had to continually kill monsters that, annoyingly, would not stay dead. But the camp doesn''t ring any bells with him. Hazel is supposed to be dead. When she lived before, she didn''t do a very good job of it. When the Voice took over her mother and commanded Hazel to use her "gift" for an evil purpose, Hazel couldn''t say no. Now, because of her mistake, the future of the world is at risk. Frank is a klutz. His grandmother claims he is descended from ancient heroes and can be anything he wants to be, but he doesn''t see it. He doesn''t even know who his father is. He keeps hoping Apollo will claim him, because the only thing he is good at is archery—although not good enough to help the Fifth Cohort win at war games. His big and bulky physique makes him feel like a clumsy ox, especially in front of Hazel, his closest friend at camp. He trusts her completely—enough, even, to share the secret he holds close to his heart.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Named one of the year''s best graphic novels by CNN, Complex, IFC, School Library Journal, Library Journal, and USA Today! "A great, paranoid read for the modern age."-- Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing "Venditti''s cat-mouse thriller demands edge-of-your-seat attention while raising serious questions about terrorism, personal privacy, and government responsibility ... excellent writing and plotting, and dead suitable art."-- Library Journal "In exploring the nature of the relation between the individual, society and the state, one would anticipate The Homeland Directive to elevate both the thriller genre and the comics medium. Venditti delivers admirably on both counts."-- Dr. shathley Q, PopMatters "An addictive page-turner that feels like an edge-of-your-seat theater experience. Huddleston''s art puts the focus where it needs to be to wring every drop of tension from the story, and Venditti''s script shows that he doesn''t need the sci-fi elements of his earlier work to craft a fascinating, fast-paced thriller."-- Rick Marshall, MTV Splash Page "The conspiracy at the heart of this superbly paced thriller makes the Illuminati and the New World Order look like rank amateurs."-- Garrett Martin, Paste Magazine "An exceptionally good graphic novel for the moment... with a sophisticated sense of how government works."-- Alyssa Rosenberg, ThinkProgress "It''s unlikely you''ll find a book that looks as good as The Homeland Directive this year."-- Graeme McMillan, Robot 6 "Pulse-pounding... well-characterized, the plotting is tight, and the stakes are high. Mike Huddleston''s art flips from pen and ink to painterly, but consistently captures the right mood and inspires the gritting of teeth."-- Jeremy Nisen, Under the Radar A new thriller from the author of the New York Times bestseller The Surrogates! As a leading researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Laura Regan is one of the world''s foremost authorities on viral and bacteriological study.

Set in the Orwellian present, The Homeland Directive confronts one of the vital questions of our time: In an era when technology can either doom or save us, is it possible for personal privacy and national security to coexist?
