Based on a popular legend in Gansu, the far western province of
China, The Tortoise in Asia recounts the exploits of Marcus, a
young Roman centurion schooled in the Greek classics who, after a
devastating loss in a battle with the Parthians, is taken prisoner,
marched along the Silk Road, and pressed into service as a border
guard on the eastern frontier. After a daring escape, Marcus has
many adventures working with the Hun army as a mercenary.
Throughout this harrowing journey, Marcus learns about Chinese
philosophies, uncovering the startling similarities between these
philosophies and those of Greece.
