rdf:langString Flight of the Fire Thief is a novel written by Terry Deary, and is the second installment of The Fire Thief Trilogy. The book continues the story of Prometheus, the Titan who stole fire from the gods. It follows on directly from The Fire Thief. Prometheus goes back to 1795 to try to find a hero who is worshipped in a temple in the first book, only to find out he did not travel back far enough. He returns to Eden City to find it under siege against Wild People, just like Troy. He helps a Dr. Dee and his daughter, Nell, to end the siege and help the Wild People get their princess back. However, the Avenger is still looking for him, and has a team of Achilles and Paris, also from Troy, and a monster from the underworld, a 50-headed, 100 armed Hecatonchires. To get past the walls, Hera attempted to repeat the Trojan Horse method, but that failed. Nell eventually sneaked in and launched the spring cannon. The Avenger's team eventually turns on him, allowing Prometheus to escape once again. Other books in the series: The Fire Thief (2005) and The Fire Thief Fight Back (2007)
