In 1706, war still rages in Europe, and the tobacco planters of the Virginia colony' s tidewater struggle against shrinking markets and pirates lurking off the coast. But American seafarers have found a new source of wealth: the Indian Ocean and ships carring fabulous treasure to the great Mogul of India. Faced with ruin, Thomas Marlowe is determined to find a way to the wealth of the East. Carrying his crop of tobacco in his privateer Elizabeth Galley, he secretly plans to continue on to the Indian Ocean to find the Mogul' s ships. But Marlowe does not know he is sailing into a triangle of hatred and vengeance- a rendezvous with two bitter enemies from his past. Ultimately, none will emerge unscathed from the blood and thunder, the treachery and danger, of sailing the Pirate Round.Nelson, James L. is the author of 'Pirate Round' with ISBN 9780380804542 and ISBN 0380804549.
