| | Powell's Books - Guardian of the Horizon by Elizabeth Peters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) |
 | | The remarkable Elizabeth Peters proves once again that, in the world of historical adventure fiction, she is truly without peer. |
 | | Peters, as her many accolades would suggest, knows precisely what she is doing as she spins a tale of romance, derring-do, bravery and, of course, deceptions, betrayals and disguises in the classic tradition of H. Rider Haggard, if with tongue often in cheek. |
 | | Peters's knowledge of ancient Egypt and the excavations and desecrations that accompanied early archeological attempts in the region allow her to dress her melodrama with authentic trappings that add greatly to the enjoyment. |
