Publisher's summary
Critic reviews
- Romantic Times Award Winner - Best Historical Mystery, 2000
"Filled with intrigue and nail-biting suspense...rich with detail and realism...ripe with tension and peril." (The Washington Post Book World)
"Between Amelia Peabody and Indiana Jones, it's Amelia, in wit and daring, by a landslide." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Despite having produced 11 previous tales of Egyptological mystery and detection, Peters still writes a deeply satisfying story that combines elements of espionage, mystery, and romance. Some big surprises are in store for readers while Peters deftly ties her subplots together, but a few threads are left dangling enticingly at the end, leaving fans to expect another installment in this extraordinary series." (Publishers Weekly)

Totally hooked…
This series continues to delightfully reel me in. I thought the different setting of the war would diminish my enjoyment, but each Amelia book, and this was no exception, deepens the wonderful experience and journey I am having with the Emerson family.
Great writing, excellent characters and story, and I wouldn’t dare listen to an Amelia book without Barbara Rosenblatt’s amazing performance!
Enjoy this book by Elizabeth Peters, I highly recommend.

One of my favorites
I have been reading these in order over the years and this was one of my favorites from this era in the life story of the Emerson family. The story takes an interesting turn due to the current events of the time period and it make for some new angles on the usual tomb robbing/murder formula that we all like so much. I very much enjoy this series and found this book very entertaining.

What a story!
Would you listen to He Shall Thunder in the Sky again? Why?
Definitely! Love Amelia Peabody and Ramses and in this one, the two of them ROCK! Possibly the best in the series so far!
What other book might you compare He Shall Thunder in the Sky to and why?
Its a more humorous Poirot in the desert of Egypt. Mystery and family drama with dry British wit
Who was the most memorable character of He Shall Thunder in the Sky and why?
To answer would be to give away the story unfortunately, but this is the full cast of previous books all up to their own particular mischief!
