If you enjoy reading Greek Mythologies and tales of a brave young boy whose life had completely changed when he found out he was son of Poseidon-God of the Sea, then I would strongly recommend this book –The Lightning

Some things on this earth are just magical. To some it may be the beach at sunset, to others it may be as simple as the drive to work in the morning. For me that place is Fenway Park in Boston Massachusetts. Going to a game in Fenway is a smorgasbord of delightful feelings. Even the walk up to the ballpark is some thing to behold.

Hordes of herculean men boarded the magnificent ship burdened with purpose. Many would called them heroes for the journey they were about to brave. Angry waves crashed upon the ocean shore and a fresh salty breeze sailed through the air.
