Frontier Man

Somewhere along the coast of ancient Asia Minor, Batos quietly slips a rope off the neck of a captive goat and watches the goat disappear into the heat. His memories of the desert heat are never far behind him, even though he no longer serves in the Roman cavalry on the North African frontier. Now traveling with a theater troupe as their watchman, Batos rides along the dusty roads with a new mission. He is to keep the troupe safe as they proclaim the good news of Jesus of Nazareth. When a play erupts into a riot in Pergamum, he encounters Domitia, a wealthy widow, and Virgos, an intersex person known to most as Eunuch. The troupe urges the three of them to go to Thessalonica, where they can hear Paul’s teachings for themselves. Saddling three trusted horses, Batos agrees to travel with them. Along the way, his mysterious past will be revealed. Each traveler will see new visions of freedom and community. And each will discover that resisting Roman rule and following Jesus might be one and the same.
