The Twelve Labours of Hercules - Paperback

by Joe Corcoran (Author)

There are times when strength is not enough.Hercules has become proud and boastful. He has won victory after victory, he is blessed by the gods, and he has even been promised immortality. Is it any wonder that he begins to think himself better than the frail humans who scurry to obey his every command?But even gods are bound by the ancient prophesies, and there is one opponent that lies waiting - bound but undefeated. This is an enemy that even mighty Zeus has good reason to fear. An enemy that the gods themselves cannot defeat. Unless Hercules can rediscover what it means to have the heart of a man, the king of the giants will break free and destroy the world.Twelve challenges must be completed, and the clock is ticking. Monsters must be fought, puzzles solved and gods confronted, but this time strength will not be enough. It will take honour, wisdom, perseverance and, above all, friendship to win the day.A book where the adventure never stops. Set in an era when heroes and gods still walked the earth, it will enthral children of all ages.
