'THE PIRATE DEVLIN is top quality historical fiction. Mark Keating knows his period inside-out and his stylish prose and devilish plot fold it into a gripping read. This is the start of something big.' -- Harry Sidebottom, author of Warrior of Rome 'A superbly imagined, vividly written debut. Devlin is set to become the Sharpe of the high seas.' -- Saul David, author of Zulu Hart 'Keating's latest novel continues his insight into the pirate life with technical seafaring detail, bloody sea battles, treasure hunts and exotic settings. High adventure does not get much better than this.' -- Sunday Canberra Times 'Devlin is an anti-hero to savour ... fearless and flawed, ruthless and roguish but with all the endearing honour that traditionally flourishes among fictional thieves.' -- Lancashire Evening Post 'a swashbuckling 18th Century adventure ... sure to delight both fans of Sharpe and Hornblower' -- Peterborough Evening Telegraph |
