AD 40. Roman naval officer Marcus Fronto

and his colleagues are progressing overland

to unknown territory somewhere near modern Chester.

They are conducting a survey and informal reconnaissance

with the secondary objectives of cultivating local chieftains

are divided in their attitude to Rome,

and besides these many unexpected perils confront

Marcus and his shipmates.
