About this title: This 16th book in the Amelia Peabody series returns to people and places last seen in THE LAST CAMEL DIED AT NOON and occurs during 1907 and 1908, a period of time not previously covered by author Elizabeth Peters. A young man arrives at the Emersons' home in England and says he is the brother of their friend Tarek, prince of the secret desert fortress known as the Lost Oasis. Tarek apparently desperately needs the Emersons' help, and so off the family goes, heading into a situation fraught with both known and unknown perils.

"I really liked this book, it was a flashback in the series and very engaging right from the start. It was nice to see all the characters younger again, but nothing really developing can happen on account of it was in the past. It's kind of like when you want to go reread a favorite book, but you wish the ending could still be a surprise. It's not exactly like that because most of the character development happens across the whole series of 18 books, but it was still v. fun."
"An interesting and adventuresome addition to the Amelia Peabody series. A bit of a stretch at times, but then Amelia always stretches things to the extreme. Also a bit like Edgar Rice Burroughs with Tarzan and the many strange, lost civilizations of Africa that the jungle man encountered. A fun read."
