What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The Queendom of Mingora, South-East Asia, 1950s.
An ancient state long linked by treaty of protection to the British Crown.
Brigadier David Jones is the new officer commanding British forces in Mingora, at what proves to be a time of acute crisis.
The aged Queen cannot live for long, and Communist terrorists are preparing invasion and rebellion.
The British presence is more critical now than ever.
But David, having to deal on his arrival with a mutiny in his command, is confronted with the realities of his government's policy of retreat 'East of Suez': the century-and-a-half-long treaty is to be abrogated unilaterally and the British troops withdrawn.
For Mingora, that will mean certain disaster.
But does David's duty lie to his civil superiors—immediately to Sidney Wilson, the Resident—or to the people of Mingora ?
And how far is his vision of his duty clouded by Princess Kumara, the heir to the throne, with whom he has fallen deeply in love?
'Thunder at Sunset' is a thrilling historical novel that deals with death, duty and honor.
