The Sword And The Scimitar
Share
It is 1565 and the war between Islam and Christianity has raged for centuries. The Ottoman Empire's power threatens to engulf Europe. But first Malta must be taken, and its defenders, the Knights of Saint John, annihilated.
This is the tale of one of those knights.
Banished from Malta after a dark episode that left him disgraced and heartbroken, Sir Thomas Barrett has fought for twenty years as a mercenary. He is haunted by the memories of the events that led to his exile.
Now Malta is threatened by a vast Ottoman army and the Knights need every man that can wield a sword - including Sir Thomas. With nothing to lose, he is willing to fight. But Malta holds perilous secrets that threaten even the reign of Queen Elizabeth of England. Only through great courage and perseverance can Thomas restore his faith in his country, his comrades and his love.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
