Guardian of the Horizon

Guardian of the Horizon, Elizabeth Peters - I was hoping this would be a bit better than it was; with the series as long as it is, and most of the personal and political conflicts resolved happily in the years through WWI it makes sense to go back to the past, and introduce a new episode in the days where tension was still ripe between Sethos and Amelia and Ramses and Nefret. Unfortunately, while the setting is right, the relationships and plot is a bit slipshod; characters say and do things more obvious in a Gothic romance, as opposed to the established gentle satire of the genre. It's still a worthy trip for fans, even though they may be bothered by the apparent lack of later integration of this episode.

Originally read May 2004
Series: Amelia Peabody
