Children of the Storm

An Amelia Peabody Novel of Suspense

By: Elizabeth Peters

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

The Great War has ended at last. Archaeologist Amelia Peabody and her husband, Emerson, the distinguished Egyptologist, no longer fear for the life of their daring son, Ramses, now free from his dangerous wartime obligations to British Intelligence. Delightful new additions to the growing Emerson family and new wonders waiting to be discovered beneath the shifting Egyptian sands mark a time of new beginnings in Luxor.

However, the theft of valuable antiquities from the home of a friend -- including a magnificent gold bracelet adorned with the image of the goddess Hathor -- causes great concern. Ramses's encounter with a woman costumed in the veil and gold crown of Hathor herself only deepens the mystery.

With those in her circle suddenly plagued by a series of "accidents," Amelia attempts to connect these troubling threads into a pattern. But her investigation is setting her on a collision course with an adversary more formidable than any she has ever encountered.

Performed by Barbara Rosenblat.

Great plot and characterization

Great plot and characterization by Elizabeth Peter (Barbara Mertz), and great performance by Barbara Rosenblat.

Another great adventure

Barbara Rosenblat brings one of the great Egyptologist detective couples to life again in another funny, gripping mystery. One learns so much about Egyptian culture, history, archaeology and her struggle for independence after WWI. it's a most enjoyable way to learn about this ancient civilization.

Delightful as Always!

Every sojourn back into Egypt with this crew is fun! And Barbera’s narration, as always, both astounds and delights!

Another great adventure in Egypt

The Emersons are again having a fine time trying to excavate when dastardly events continue to get in their way. Always humorous and full of intrigue, I highly recommend it.

Fabulous! Another amazing story

I completely enjoyed this book. The plot had many surprises I can’t wait to read the next one. Elizabeth Peters mixes suspense, romance and humor all in one story.
