Product Description
Synopsis
Thomas Marlowea former pirate who has gone legit and now owns a Virginia plantationfinds himself charged with defending the colony from the alltoofamiliar pirate menace infesting the waterways. Original.
From the Author
Happy to be Here
I am delighted to finally have a book published in the UK! My other series, the Revolution at Sea, concerning naval action during the American Revolution, has not met with great enthusiasm among British publishers, but The Guardship is about a time when we, Americans and British, were all one. Having lived in England (Sidcup) and having a love of naval history (and being named Nelson!) all makes it that much more gratifying to have a book out in the UK. The Guardship is very much about the difficulties and benefits of being a far-off colony. The tax on tobbacco grown in Virginia was a major source of revenue for the Crown, but still the Chesapeake was considered a back water by the Royal Navy, which sent the most decrepit ships and corrupt captains there, where they would be out of the way. This, and the fact that there were a number of pirates who "retired" and came ashore to live lives of ease, formed the germ of an idea that became The Guardship. I hope readers will enjoy this and the next two to come in the Brethren of the Coast series. I would love to hear any comments. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
