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 Quarry — Owen Pascoe hears the ground move at the second hour of the afternoon — a sound like a door closing somewhere deep — and before he turns he already knows what it means, because he has been in the Cornwall mines since he was twelve. The lower drift is down and the men in it are under the rock, and the question of what can still be done, and who can do it, is the question the story follows into the dark.
