Once again, MWA Grandmaster Peters uses vivid settings, sharp characterizations, and deft dialogue to transport the reader to another time and place., "Once again, MWA Grandmaster Peters uses vivid settings, sharp characterizations, and deft dialogue to transport the reader to another time and place." -- Publishers Weekly, "Deeply satisfying . . . a funny and involving work. The joy of the Amelia books has always been their elegant sense of humor; once again Peters manages to satirize romantic thrillers while producing some of the finest in the genre. Rating: A-." - Entertainment Weekly "No one is better at juggling torches while dancing on a high wire than Elizabeth Peters." - Chicago Tribune "Once again, MWA Grandmaster Peters uses vivid settings, sharp characterizations, and deft dialogue to transport the reader to another time and place." - Publishers Weekly Praise for Elizabeth Peters: "Amelia Peabody, the bossy archaeologist in Elizabeth Peters's romantic adventures set in Egypt at the end of the last century, makes a perfect companion for a cruise up the Nile."--New York Times - New York Times Praise for A River in the Sky: "Peters's wily cast of characters keeps the reader coming back for more." - San Francisco Chronicle

Synopsis
New York Times Bestseller From New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Peters comes one of her most baffling and intriguing mysteries in her phenomenally popular Amelia Peabody series. August 1910. Banned from the Valley of the Kings, Amelia Peabody and husband Emerson are persuaded to follow would-be archaeologist Major George Morley on an expedition to Palestine. Somewhere in this province of the corrupt, crumbling Ottoman Empire--the Holy Land of three religions--Morley is determined to unearth the legendary Ark of the Covenant. At the request of British Intelligence, Emerson will be keeping an eye on the seemingly inept Morley, believed to be an agent of the Kaiser sent to stir up trouble in this politically volatile land. Amelia hopes to prevent a catastrophically unprofessional excavation from destroying priceless historical finds and sparking an armed protest by infuriated Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Meanwhile, Amelia's headstrong son, Ramses, working on a dig at Samaria, encounters an unusual party of travelers and makes a startling discovery--information that he must pass along to his parents in Jerusalem...if he can get there alive. "Between Amelia Peabody and Indiana Jones, it's Amelia--in wit and daring--by a landslide."--New York Times Book Review, New York Times Bestseller From New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Peters comes one of her most baffling and intriguing mysteries in her phenomenally popular Amelia Peabody series.

    Item came as described and the price was good. Could have been packed better, as the item came damaged due to the shippers not handling the box with care. Just a small dent in the corner of a box set for book series. Not the biggest deal. Bubble wrap would have prevented this.

    The book, "The Unbreakable Brain," is better than "as described". It looks like a brand new, unused book in excellent condition, which makes it a super value for the cost. It was shipped in a protective package with free shipping, yet another super value! I am incredibly pleased with this seller, and they even sent me a coupon to buy four and get two books free. That's a fantastic gift and quite generous! Thank you for being an excellent seller!
