First Sentence
When we left Egypt in the spring of 1907, I felt like a defeated general who has retreated to lick his wounds (if I may be permitted a somewhat inelegant but expressive metaphor). Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Fantastic Jun 22 2004
By Lrp
Format:Hardcover
What is most controversial about this book? Ramses: In my opinion his relationship with Daria was the best part of this book! It showed that pure human essence of raw emotion and feeling taking control. Speaking as a 20 yr. old, I know that Elizabeth Peters hit it right on the nail by making him frustrated, confused, flawed...human? After all, we can't put Ramses on a pedestal of idealistic manhood now can we? At this age, everything is so intense and you feel strongly and I personally was cheering for Ramses. It was exciting. It was new. It showed that you can fall in love and have your heart broken and still live and love again! I found that message bittersweet. No relationship is perfect. In the end, it makes Ramses and Nefret's relationship that much more real. I loved it and recommend it highly! I truly believe Elizabeth Peters is a brilliant writer and I respect her very much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Renewing Old Acquaintances Jun 15 2004
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
I must put The Guardian of the Horizon among my favorite of the Amelia Peabody series. I was delighted to find out what had happened to the denizens of the Holy Mountain introduced in The Last Camel Died at Noon. I was strongly attracted to them when reading Camel and have wondered over the years how they faired.

For me the characters of Nephret and Ramses became more understandable in this book. I must admit that I had been puzzled by the length of time it took Nephret to recognize the romantic and sexual nature of her feelings for Ramses. And, I was puzzled by Ramses extreme reticence to push her in this area. This book gives some explanation for this phenomenom. I know some readers were disturbed by Ramses relationship with Daria. But, to me it seemed perfectly in character for a romatic and frustrated young man such as Ramses.

The only slightly false note in the book for me was that Amelia seemed a little too at ease with Sethos for this point in their history.

But, all and all, a grand read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not one of her better efforts
I get the impression that EP wrote this book(and set it in the past) because the Amelia Peabody series may be losing some of its appeal. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm torn on this one
Usually, when I finish a new Amelia Peabody novel, it either leaves me horribly depressed or giddy as a 5-year-old. This one definitely left me feeling depressed. Read more

There comes a time in every series that covers a large number of years when it isn't possible to go further without the main characters discovering the secret of eternal life. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Far from her best effort.
I was looking forward to this book, as I do with all of EP's works. I was so disappointed with this book, I had to read it again just to make sure I hadn't imagined it. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I did not want it to end!
Absolutely wonderful, with all the elements that makes this series special: adventure; strong female characters; droll humor; ancient Egypt, mystery, and dashing male protagonists. Read more
