Waiting on Wednesday: The Hammer of Thor

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which shines a light on eagerly anticipated upcoming releases.  This week, my pick is:

The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan
Publisher: Disney Hyperion Books
Date: October 4, 2016
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #2

"Thor's hammer is missing again. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of misplacing his weapon--the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. But this time the hammer isn't just lost, it has fallen into enemy hands. If Magnus Chase and his friends can't retrieve the hammer quickly, the mortal worlds will be defenseless against an onslaught of giants. Ragnarok will begin. The Nine Worlds will burn. Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer's return is the gods' worst enemy, Loki--and the price he wants is very high." -- From Goodreads

Anything by Rick Riordan is an automatic read for me.  I'm excited to delve back into this world!
