Westerns
The Patrick Dalton Series
His naval fiction included a series featuring the character Patrick Dalton and is set during the American War of Independence. Dalton is an Irishman and a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, falsely accused of treason. Throughout the four-volume series, Dalton remains loyal to Britain. Unfortunately, Parkinson died in 2001, and so did not have an opportunity to write one (or more) subsequent novels that would have resolved a number of open issues.
This novel is set in 1777. After Dalton is accused of treason, he escapes from British-held New York in the schooner Faith.
Still on the run, and still loyal to Britain, Dalton acquires a ketch, and a cargo of cannon from the Chesapeake. He then faces an array of enemies: the Royal Navy, the British Army, rebel privateers and navy, loyalist raiders, and Spanish pirates. Dalton eventually captures the Fury.
Dalton avers his loyalty to the Flag, despite still being sought for treason. Dalton, in his vessel Fury, escorts merchant ships through North American waters, protecting them from English and rebel ships.
This novel is set in 1778. In the novel Dalton fights a pirate who has taken advantage of the disorder that the American War of Independence has caused to prey on merchant vessels.

The Gates of Time Series
Timecop Series
Parkinson wrote adventure spin-off trilogy based on ABC's short-lived Timecop series, which was inspired by the successful Jean-Claude Van Damme film, Timecop, from Universal Studios. The trilogy continues the adventures of TEC agent Jack Logan as he hunts down rogue travelers and brings them to justice before they can alter the past.
