Guardian of the Horizon Audiobook

" Space between Peabodies is a wise move, because, taken in large measure, these delightful books become just a bit ridiculous. Even having avoided this next volume (chronologically for the Emersons, that is) for quite a while, I found Guardian of the Horizon rather slapdash. They spend quite a lot of time planning, preparing, and traveling before getting down to adventuring in the Lost Oasis that the had visited ten years before. Not Peters' best effort but still fun. "

" I enjoyed this story as I always enjoy this series but I listened to it on overdrive and the narrator was horrendous, I could get passed her voices "

" One of my favorite series. I always enjoy re-reading these. "

" I'm rereading this (the entire series actually) and I simply love these characters! I miss them when I'm not reading the books. THis is probably my least favorite book in the entire series, and I'm still enjoying every minute of my journey with them. "

" Voice actress Rosenblatt is amazing. It helps that she has wonderful characters and a rolicking adventure tale to read. The amount of detail leads to a very long (13 CD) story, but it is all enjoyable. "

" Another in the long line of Amelia Peabody mysteries, "Guardian of the Horizon" follows the same formula as Elizabeth Peters' previous books. This time, however, she goes back to the period before World War I, when Peabody's son Ramses still yearned for his "sister" Nefret and when Sethos was still the "Master Criminal." The plot is rather staid, if convoluted in parts, and, as usual, there is little mystery to speak of. But Amelia Peabody and her clan are irresistible, especially to those of us who enjoy archaeology and have a strong romantic streak. Recommended for fans of Peters' other mysteries. "

" Brilliant! Amelia Peabody Emerson is one of the greatest women in novels ever!! "

" It's so much fun to be with Amelia again. Thanks the other Tiff for starting me on these great books "

" Ah! The wondrous adventures of archaeological Eyptologist, Emerson, his wife, Peabody, and son, Ramses (not to forget their "adopted" daughter, Nefret), take us from Kent, England, to Cairo, Egypt, and to more exotic locations. These books really are a lot of fun! "

" I was disappointed at first that this book goes backward in the series timeline, but it turned out to be a great story. "

" Spectacular reading by Barbara Rosenblat! "

" I cannot resist reading what Amelia Peabody has to say. "

" Another published out of order; the one where they go back to the Lost Oasis. "

" It was fun to go back to the lost city, but it was kind of hard to get into the story when it came as a flashback. Too much was already known about the ending before it started. "

" 2nd lost oasis adventure, filling in a lost year "

" I listened to this a few years ago when I first started reading the Amelia Peabody books. I decided to re-listen to the book in the correct chronilogical order. It was fun. It discusses the second visit of the Emersons to the Royal Mountain. "

" It was weird to go back in time to characters, knowing what happens to them later on. It must have been an odd book to write, too, in that sense. Otherwise, action packed, if with a lot less archaeology than some "

" I really enjoy this series. The characters are endearing and I especially enjoy the family dynamic. "

" Good for car listening, but I've only read a couple of other books and I could have used a bit more context for who the characters were. Maybe my memory is failing me, but from the other books I'd read I expected a little more suspense and action. "

" I am a fan of the Amelia Peabody books and I have been waiting for her to go back to the oasis. But I was very disappointed in this book. I was expecting more and I didn't like Ramses. He is usually one of my favorites "

" Turn of the century, female Egyptologist at her finest! Great mystery series. "

" Yech. If you don't have a story, don't bother. Don't just keep dragging out the series because the publishers are trying to squeeze more dough out of your fans. This was the point that I was ready to give up on the series, but I thought I'd give it one more try... "

" Loved this book! I actually listened to the audio version of this one and the reading style was fantastic. Very believable. "

" A typical enjoyable adventure with the Emersons. However, the choices she made with Ramses seemed completely out of character, utterly pointless, and even offensive. I hope I can forget them, and they don't come back to influence the story in the next books. "

" I was disappointed at first that this book goes backward in the series timeline, but it turned out to be a great story. "

" Another fun Amelia Peabody mystery. An easy read...just right for the beach! "

" I really enjoy this series. The characters are endearing and I especially enjoy the family dynamic. "

" I cannot resist reading what Amelia Peabody has to say. "

" This book went back in time a few years, so you, once again, have all the tension between Nefret and Rameses. I liked it, though. Amelia's always facing things head-on and it's a good mystery. Almost done with this series! "

" Going "back" and having an inserted story was a bit irksome, but that is my foible. Not a bad story otherwise. "

" Again in audio format and it was wonderfully enjoyable "
