A Poor Man at the Gates is one of Andrew Wareham’s largest series at fourteen books. Beginning with The Privateersman (2013), it follows a family from humble origins through the ranks of British society, tracking their fortunes across generations.
The series moves through major periods of British history, from the rough world of privateering through the growing pains of nouveau riche status and into the Victorian age. Later entries like A Victorian World and A Victorian Empire bring the saga into the 19th century. Published between 2013 and 2023, it was one of Wareham’s first series and remains one of his most substantial.
