Abandoning life as a servant, Patrick Devlin has become one of the most feared pirates in the world. 1718 finds him in Madagascar, more welcoming than the Caribbean island of New Providence, which Governor Woodes Rogers is cleansing of pirates and lawlessness.Yet it is to this suddenly unsafe haven that Patrick is forced to travel.

To save the life of his friend Peter Sam, Devlin must retrieve a letter smuggled out of China, containing a centuries â€œold secret.Imported from the East by the Dutch and English East India companies for the kings, queens and rising middle classes of Europe, porcelain has become the most valuable commodity in the West. It is known as white gold, and the letter Devlin seeks contains the formula for its manufacture.From Asia to the restless new colonies of America, everyone wants the power and wealth this secret will bring.

If Devlin is to succeed, he must outwit a host of enemies, including his former master Captain John Coxon of the Royal Navy and the fearsome Edward Teach who has an agenda of his own, not to mention an old score to settle with the upstart pirate Devlin.

Industry 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

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

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

a swashbuckling 18th Century adventure . . . sure to delight both fans of Sharpe and Hornblower - Peterborough Evening Telegraph
