The Thomas Marlowe series follows a former pirate attempting to go straight in colonial Virginia. The Guardship (2000) sets up the tension between his new life and his old one, and The Blackbirder (2001) and The Pirate Round (2002) drag him back to sea.
The trilogy covers the late seventeenth century, with Marlowe caught between respectable colonial society and the lawless world he came from.
