Centurion Marcus Antonius Maecilius is condemned for alleged cowardice and reduced to labour as an oarsman on a Roman bireme. When a small group of intelligence operatives boards in Hispania for a mission into Germania, his courage during an attack by pirates attracts the attention of their commander, Seneca.
Marcus is offered a place among the exploratores rather than a return to punishment and disgrace. The choice sends him beyond the secure frontier, where information, disguise and loyalty matter more than the formal strength of a legion.
