Lion in the Valley (Dramatized Adaptation)

Amelia Peabody, Book 4

By: Elizabeth Peters

Narrated by: full cast, Nanette Savard, Michael Glenn, David Ault, Marni Penning, Marlon Dance-Hooi, Stephanie Németh-Parker, R.J. Bayley, Elias Khalil, Richard Rohan, Joe Mallon, Ken Jackson

The 1895-96 season promises to be an exceptional one for Amelia Peabody, her dashing Egyptologist husband, Emerson, and their wild and precocious eight-year-old son, Ramses.

The much-coveted burial chamber of the Black Pyramid in Dahshoor is theirs for the digging. But there is a great evil in the wind that roils the hot sands sweeping through the bustling streets and marketplaces of Cairo. The brazen moonlight abduction of Ramses—and an expedition subsequently cursed by misfortune and death—have alerted Amelia to the likely presence of her arch nemesis the Master Criminal, notorious looter of the living and the dead. But it is far more than ill-gotten riches that motivates the evil genius this time around.

For now the most valuable and elusive prize of all is nearly in his grasp: the meddling lady archaeologist who has sworn to deliver him to justice... Amelia Peabody!

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

So happy to get more Amelia Peabody!

There’s never been a better author. So fun to get a new adaptation. Please keep them coming!

Amazing!

A really fun story, which keeps you mentally engaged the whole time, that is dryly hilarious for a lot of the story. I can't tell you how incredible of a job the cast did in the production too! 100% recommend.

Very Engaging

The actors are terrific! Never thought they could replace Barbara Rosenblat. I love these stories. I have read the series untold times.
I really enjoy the immersion in these performances as well as the books.
I did feel like Ramses was a bit too childish for an 8 yr old. He was also frequently difficult to understand.
Also feel like the sound effects, like walking, aren’t quite right. The sound of the people and traffic outside Asslimie’s shop were well done. Many of the background music choices were spot on.
I can’t wait for the next one!

Fantastic and very enjoyable voice acting!

I have many graphic audio books at this point in time. I keep hoping to see more full cast books that I have enjoyed reading. I hope they continue with the Amelia Peabody series. I have been a tourist to Egypt and even though the time is very different from when the books were written they still bring to mind very wonderful memories. The first 2 books move a bit slow the ones with Ramses in them are richer. The extra interaction moves the story faster.

So much fun!

I have long loved Elizabeth Peters' works. And now to hear them presented in full cast adds a delight to old favorites.

Following Amelia "etc etc" into the fray up against the "MC" is great fun if you are a fan of tongue and cheek.
