"And then, in the year of the rule of Tiberius, along the coasts of Hispania, I found my crew. Not men of pure blood, or even pure thought - no, they were mongrels and mutineers, fishermen and grave-diggers. One was an escaped slave from Carthage. One had turned to robbery and pillage in the famines of Gallia. But they were brave. They were willing. That was all I asked. A man willing to throw himself Westward was better than a senator clinging to titles and charts.

I named my ship the Aequinox. It meant "equal night" – for we were to sail her across twilight itself. What others considered to be the edge of the world, I knew in my heart, was only the middle."
