Summary: Amelia Peabody and the gang are back!
Review: Oh, how I love Elizabeth Peters and her stunning cast of characters! I was afraid the series would get stale after the marriage of Ramses & Nefret and the way things were "resolved" with Sethos, but I was wrong! The story did drag on a bit in spots, but overall it was a fun read and a welcome addition to the series. Now if only David & Lia could make an appearance in the next book....

Summary: Amelia Peabody and the gang are back!
Review: Oh, how I love this series! I was afraid that things would settle down and get stale after the marriage of Ramses & Nefret, and things seemed to be resolved with Sethos, but I was worried for nothing! The story did drag a little in spots, but overall it was a fun read and a terrific addition to the series.

Summary: If you love the Peabody/Emerson clan ...
Review: of course you'll need to read the latest installment. However I'd recommend getting a library copy if possible and waiting for paperback before purchasing a copy for your own shelves. As in the last few books in the series, Ms. Peters seems to have lost focus, unsure of how to treat the affects of the Great War on Amelia and company. The archeological mystery feels trivial in comparison to the happenings in the world beyond Luxor. The adventure into espionage is perfunctory and fragmented. And the way Sethos has become a Deus Ex Machina makes me irritated with a character I formerly loved. If I were truly honest, this book probably deserves less than 3 stars. But my enduring affection for the series made it readable. I just wish I hadn't paid hard cover prices.

Summary: The Golden One is one of the best!
Review: Elizabeth Peters' gets it right and The Golden One is right at the top of her best style of writing. All the usual old friends, family, and bad guys show up. The Emersons are all over the place finding villians and Egyptian treasures. Nefret is much more pleasing following her 'confused' state in the past. Marriage has done much to calm her and Ramses, but not in their adventures. By the end of the book, we know a little more of what's to come and there is the introduction of a new villian. I hope Ms. Peters continues to write more just like this one.

Summary: Amelia Peabody strikes!
Review: The Golden One is perhaps not as funny as the other novels, but I still thought it was defintely worth the buy. Reading about all the new characters that have shown up on the scene is reason enough without all the new action.

Summary: Another fun Egyptian adventure
Review: Like all her books featuring Amanda Peabody (archeologist and egyptologist) this was a fun-filled book that was difficult to put down. If you've read the other books in the series, you'll happily revist some old friends (and enemies). All in all, a fun read.

Summary: No surprises.
Review: I have read all of the books in this series and have enjoyed every one of them. This was a good read except it was not as entertaining as some of the other books. It was predictable nothing in the book was a surprise.

Summary: Another fantastic Peabody romp
Review: Elizabeth Peters is at her best once again! I can't get enogh of this Emerson clan.
This new adventure brings back Jamil, the youngest son of Yusuf and trickster of the Emerson's. He claims that he has found a new tomb. But before Amelia can interogate Jamil, he dies... but with his last words are"in the hand of the God" huh?
Then "Mr. Smith" whose true name is hyphenated and unpronouncable, asks Ramses to found out if Ismail Pasha is Sethos gone traitor or Sethos just really getting involved in his role... and since Ramses is such a nice family man, he agrees.
It takes him to Gaza, under cover in the labour corps. Must i say that his family also went to Gaza in disguise. Emerson as an Arab (Don't forget the beard!!) with 2 wives. Amelia his chief wife and Nefret his "favorite". Their reis also attends the lastest adventure, as a servant or something to Emerson.
Once Ramses' mission is complete and i will not give away anything on that account, They return to luxor to excavate with The Vandergelt's. Bertie is showing real promise and making Cyrus 'gosh-durn proud'. Nefret has her own little secret that she reveals and it's quite a shocker...and the way Emerson behaves with the news is...cute!
This is a great read... took me a day and half to read... and i've read it twice since then. I hope Ms. Peters hurrys up and writes another book in the series, i want to see how Sennia reacts to Nefrets news!!!
