To be frank, I am not exactly sure what to think about A River in the Sky by Elizabeth Peters. It's another one of her "Go Between" books where she takes the Amelia Peabody series back to the past and fills in some of the gaps. As other reviewers have mentioned, this is unsatisfying on many counts because it does nothing to move the characters forward and does nothing to develop the relationships. We already know that Ramses and Nefret get married. We already know that David marries Amelia's niece. We already know who the Master Criminal is and what happens to him.Since we already know what happens to all the characters, about all that is left to enjoy is the interaction between them, however we are robbed of that as well since Ramses and David are separated from the rest of the group for most of the book. Again, this is very unsatisfying.Finally, I really don't have the foggiest idea of what happened in the book. It involves some kind of homeland movement or something or other and much of the impetus for the crimes, whatever they are, is political-- none of which particularly interests me so I zoned out through much of it. I realize that Peters has kind of run out of places to go with this series because if she continues into the post WW I future, the history of Egyptian archaeology is fairly well known and she would have to change some history pretty blatantly, which I don't think she really wants to do.That all being said, this is still an Amelia Peabody book, and I get the feeling that Peters loves her character as much as her fans do and just can't keep from writing about her. Since she can't really go forward, she takes it backwards so she can at least do something with her.
