Barbary Devil

by Gardner Francis Fox

FULL-BLOODED, CHARGED WITH SWASHBUCKLING ACTION AND ADULT LOVE-MAKING ...Barbary Devil vividly takes you back to 16th century Mediterranean battlegrounds where brave Italian princes and their men fought the roving Algerian pirates of the Ottoman Empire while the West and the Muslim world struggled for supremacy. The Barbary Devils were red-blooded men like Stefano da Siena, an artist whose blade withstood all that the Barbarossas could do to a man, a patriot who triumphed over jealous nobles who maligned his honor; and lusty women, graced with magnificent bodies and sharp minds, two of whom—Mariyahnah, the Algerian seductress, and Renata, the beautiful well-born Italian slave-are passionately involved with Stefano, the man, the hero and the lover.
