He Shall Thunder in the Sky
Book 12 of the Amelia Peabody series
The Emersons return to Egypt in 1914 as war turns Cairo and the Suez Canal into centers of espionage and political unrest. Ramses conceals dangerous intelligence work behind the appearance of refusing military service, while Nefret and his parents struggle to understand his secrecy. Amelia's pursuit of spies, nationalists, and the elusive Sethos converges with revelations capable of changing the family's future. Sweeping and consequential, this installment suits readers who enjoy wartime intrigue, archaeological settings, long-building romance, and mysteries whose emotional discoveries matter as much as preventing an attack.
