Esta novela histórica se basa en el testimonio legado por el soldado Juan Martínez, quien reseñó el viaje desde las costas americanas de Acapulco hasta la filipina isla de Cebú, en 1566, a bordo del galeón San Jerónimo. La misión del viaje era socorrer, con hombres y bastimento, a don Miguel López de Legazpi (entonces gobernador de la isla asiática); misión que tomó 168 días. En la nao capitaneada por Pedro Sánchez Pericón fungía como piloto Lope Martín, quien sería encarcelado y ejecutado al llegar a destino por haberse declarado en rebeldía contra López de Legazpi. Por ello, lo que menos quería el piloto del San Jerónimo era que este llegara a destino. Con su voluntad enfilada a que la tripulación estuviera en contra del capitán, Lope Martín protagoniza el motín: una fascinante aventura repleta de rivalidades, desembarcos, astucia y alianzas que se entrelazan en un episodio naval y social de la historia del Imperio español.
