None.  astrologerjenny | Apr 25, 2013 |  Amelia Peabody is a great character and one of my all-time favorite women in detective fiction. She's tough and funny and she's got really good politics for her early twentieth-century setting. There's always great respect and appreciation for the history and culture of Egypt. But after all a while, all her adventures start to sound the same. This one throws in all the usual suspects, including the Master Criminal. It's fun, it's escapist, but it's pretty forgettable. (  ) astrologerjenny | Apr 24, 2013 | These books enter a new dimension with the readings of Barbara Rosenblatt. She brings such wonderful characterizations to the people in the book you can imagine them as completely real. Some times I am so eager to find out what comes next I am tempted to turn to the written version but I have learned to desist. It is not the same.

( ) SuziQoregon | Mar 31, 2013 | A lost journal of the Emersons details their return to the lost oasis (the Holy Mountain) from which they rescued Nefret. They return at the supposed summons of Tarek, whom they helped place on the throne during their first visit. What they discover this time is a plot of intrigue and danger for Nefret. This installment of the series was a great mixture of suspense and light-hearted moments. I know I've said this with other Amelia Peabody books, but this one my favorite so far.

 Peters has set GUARDIAN OF THE HORIZON in 1907, predating her previous historical novel by more than a decade... , the device revitalizes Amelia, allowing the daring explorer and her manly husband, Radcliffe Emerson (honored in Egypt as ''the Father of Curses''), to go tearing across the Sudan desert on a mission fraught with danger.
