Media Reviews
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 *
