The Time Travel VS Romance Quandary
- By Sara on 09-10-14
By: Diana Gabaldon
Publisher's Summary
In London, someone impersonating David is peddling high-quality fake antiquities, and soon the Emerson-Peabody home is burglarized. Once in Egypt, trouble only escalates as Amelia becomes a shooter's target, her son Ramses is implicated in a paternity scandal, and an American girl is found dead in the shaft of the pyramid they are excavating. When the family's impetuous ward Nefret disappears and comes back married, it takes all of their upper-crust British restraint to keep familial relations civil.
Grand Master Elizabeth Peters once again delivers the delectable goods we have come to expect: beloved characters, an intriguing mystery, and alluring settings among the ruins. Romance and danger heighten the excitement, as does Barbara Rosenblat's narration, which is nothing short of perfection.

Perhaps Best of Series
I made the mistake of first listening to the abridged version of FALCON. Some books can be abridged well, but not this one. Every line is full of characterization, or humor, or poignancy -- I cannot recommend the unabridged version, narrated by Barbara Rosenblatt enough.
FALCON is part of Peters' series of Amelia Peabody mysteries, and contains everything readers come to expect--another dead body, another shirt ruined, delightful narration, and the incredible character of Amelia herself, who manages to both exemplify and transcend Victorian femininity. We have all the wonderful secondary characters (Cyrus & wife, David, Lia, Selim, Kadija, etc.) and an actual pyramid (though a sad pyramid it is) for Amelia and her gruff husband Emerson to explore--in an archeologically sound manner, of course. We even get a glimpse of their English home at the start (along with an important wedding) and a forgery plot implicating someone near and dear to their hearts.
But what makes FALCON stand out more than (arguably) any other book in the series is the depth of the characterization. Yes, these are the same Amelia, Emerson, Ramses, and Nefret. But the clarity with which each is drawn, from their body language to their vocal inflections (thanks both to Peters and to narrator Rosenblatt) is absolute magic. The Emerson family has more personal stake in this mystery than ever before--because of the implications of the forgery, and because the murder victim is someone we get to know and, if not like, with whom we sympathize. Add to that a crescendo to the building romantic subplot between Amelia's genius son Ramses (it's a nickname) and her adopted daughter Nefret (it's Egyptian), and the fact that her horrible nephew Percy gets in some wonderfully low blows against the family's happiness, and FALCON ends up working not only as a mystery but as the best of family dramas.
Give it a shot.

This is one of my favorite of the series -- as heartbreaking as it is at times! Ramses truly becomes the stoic hero here -- gallant to a fault. I actually listened to this years ago on tape, and have since had to go back and listen to the whole series! This book hooked me!

This series is a favorite. The history is reliable, the style is authentic, and the plots are engaging. The the characters are likable and amusing; their development and their changing relationships pique interest in the ongoing saga.
A great plus in the audio versions is the amazing Barbara Rosenblat, who gives each character a distinctive and convincing voice.

Love all the Amelia Peabody Emerson books
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. The characters are strong, smart, and even sexy. The world they inhabit is interesting too.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Falcon at the Portal?
I am really enjoying the Ramses/Nefret story arch.
What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?
Terrific read in every way. Very dramatic, nuanced, and in touch with the essence of the characters.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I always laugh.
Any additional comments?
I finish one and start another. The exploits of the Emerson family, and their friends and foes, are truly delightful, intriguing and enlightening.

Worst in the series to date.
Any additional comments?
I used to love this series, It made me laugh out loud, while enjoying the fairly good mysteries. But, the affectionately satirical tone is gone, the mysteries have become perfunctory, the plotting tedious, and the soap opera - well - a soap opera. Half way through this one, I realized almost nothing had happened and almost quit. The pace picked up a bit, but the mood was a bouncing ball. Very annoying. None is helped by Barbara Rosenblatt's plodding reading. I'm not sure she could read any slower.

The Most Infuriating And Fascinating Installment
Talk about an emotional rollercoaster. I give this one the highest rating of any in the series, much as it maddened me the first time I listened to it. I would not recommend starting this one without having the next (He Shall Thunder in the Sky) on hand; these two collectively mark the high point of the series for me. Just when you think you're getting a payoff several books in the making, Elizabeth Peters turns the tables again.

Pivotal in the series. 5 ⭐️
I have read all of the Amelia Peabody books and I am enjoying them all again from Audible. This is a pivotal book in the series, at least I think so. I just love listening to Barbara Rosenblat who is a remarkable narrator. She brings Egypt to life but then she had a brilliant book to narrate.
I feel I will have to try a Whiskey and soda... Good Gad! If you’ve listened to one of the books that will make you smile.
I am about to start the next book which I have listed to before...I think it is one of the very best. Quite an interlude from the more up to date books I have been listening to. I keep thinking I’ll have a rest at the end of each book but the Emerson’s and their antics draw me back each time. Very enjoyable.

I have read all the books in the series. I am on my second reading of said series It is still as wonderful as the first time. You can't get fed up with the characters there just so real. I feel as if they are old friends to be visited time and time again.

Undeterred by world war and enemy submarines, Amelia and Emerson set sail once again for Egypt, where ghosts of an ancient past and spectres of a present-day evil hover silently over an inscrutable land. In the autumn of 1915 Cairo is transformed into an army camp teeming with enemy agents and shockingly bold tomb robbers are brazenly desecrating the ancient sites. Amelia seeks refuge at a remote dig in Luxor, but this provides no guarantee of safety when she discovers a fresh corpse in an ancient tomb.

A new year, 1917, is dawning, and the Great War that ravages the world shows no sign of abating. Answering the siren call of Egypt once more, Amelia Peabody and her family arrive at their home in Luxor to learn of a new royal tomb ransacked by thieves. Soon an even more disturbing outrage concerns the intrepid clan of archaeologists: the freshly and savagely slain corpse of a thief defiling the ancient burial site. Yet this is nothing compared with the lethal fate that threatens Ramses.
