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 Shepherd of Crete — The Roman comes on horseback along the lower track of the eastern Ida range in the first century AD, which is how Alexios knows immediately that he is from somewhere else — no one who lives here goes anywhere on horseback if they have the option of walking. Alexios watches from the upper pasture, unhurried, while the man below picks his way along the wrong track toward someone who has all day and nowhere to be.
