To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Lighthouse in the Storm — Alasdair Rae hears the mechanism fail at the second hour of the night, in the worst storm the Orkney coast has seen in eleven years — not a sound but a change in sound, the grinding that had been the warning resolving into something worse. The lighthouse keeps ships off the rocks. The mechanism is broken. He has until first light to solve a problem in cast iron and mercury that he has never trained to solve.
