Synopsis
Insubrecus tries to escape the assassins sent after him from Rome by hiding in the Roman army, right at the time that the new governor, Gaius Iulius Caesar, leads his legions to the Rhine to stop a Germanic invasion led by a mystic warrior-king who calls himself Ariovistus. Insubrecus is plunged into a world of violence, intrigue, and betrayal, as he tries to serve his new patron, Caesar, and to stay alive, while pursued by Roman cutthroats and Germanic warriors.

I realized I was revealing too much to Grennadios, so I changed the subject, “What do you know of a Roman merchant named Marcus Metius?”
“Metius!” Grennadios snorted. “Metius is no merchant … he is iktis … mustela … a rat-eater … he would trade his mother’s honor for a clipped drachma … he trades in information … he works for whomever will pay … he serves only himself.”
“Do you know anything about a Roman, who travels with him?” I asked. “A thug called Bulla.”
I thought I saw Grennadios’ eyes widen, then he shuddered. “That one? That one has no … no psyche ... no life force in him … he is the bringer of death … that one you stay away from, phile mou.”
Stay away from him … if only I could.
