Amelia Peabody Emerson False Alarm

[DHBirr]

I walked into my local Borders, and on the way to the Fantasy/SF section, glanced into the "P" section of Mysteries. Where I saw a new hardcover with
the author's name Elizabeth Peters and a huge pyramid. Hard a-starboard, and grab.

Oops.

It's not a new Amelia book, it's a new Vicky Bliss. However, on skimming it (yes, and I look on the Internet for spoilers, too;
what's your point?), I discovered that Amelia and Vicky are now part of the same continuity -- Vicky reveres Amelia -- and a
descendant of Amelia actually makes an appearance in the story. Oh, well. Not as good as a new Amelia book, but better than nothing.

Edit: Wikipedia reveals the secret, as always.

An intriguing series! Do you know of any ebook availability?

Actually, I think Peters has been hinting that the two are in the same universe for quite a while now. But this would be the first hard confirmation.

Ah. I haven't been nearly as faithful a reader of the Vicky Bliss stories as of the Amelia books, or I would've -- well, might've --
spotted those hints.

I'm not a reader of Vicky, myself, I am just relaying second-hand information I have received.
