To be a Name Among the Stars is to bear the burden of Honor and Duty.

Zara is struggling with the demands of being the new Duchess Aguirre-Tremayne of Kernow when the sudden arrival of a Terran naval cruiser tears her life apart. The Terran Council have ignored warnings about the Hajnal conspiracy. Zara's former home world of Newyan will be lost, and the route to the Inner Worlds laid open. The future of humanity is in the balance.
Honor and Duty.
Honor forces her to make an unimaginable sacrifice in her personal life.
Duty requires her to confront the Hajnal, whatever the cost.

Mark Henwick

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Author of the long running Urban Fantasy 'Bite Back' series and the Science Fiction series 'Among the Stars' and 'The Long Way Home'.

Mark was born in Africa and left out in the sun too often.

An early interest in philosophy and psychology was adequately exorcised by tending bars. And while trying to enroll in a class to read Science Fiction full time, he ended up taking an engineering degree which splendidly qualified him to move into marketing. That in turn spawned a late onset career in creative writing.

When not working, Mark gets high by the slightly less conventional means of a small microlight aircraft, or down and dirty on a mountain bike.

He lives with his family in the south of England, but can often be found in the Rockies.

I am hooked. This is definitely a series that I will read again. Taking some classic tropes, mixing them up and giving us something familiar but new.

This is Henwick's follow-up to _A Name Among The Stars_ which detailed
Zara Aguirre's hairsbreadth escape from her native planet Newyan just ahead of
a bloody, but largely unknown to the populace, revolution. Now settled
on Kernow and newly married as the Duchess Aguirre-Tremayne, she thought
she was through with interstellar politics beyond helping rewrite Kernow's
Constitution. The arrival of a Terran Navy ship, the powers aboard which
seem inclined to whitewash Newyan's story rather than intervene against the
offworld revolutionaries disabuses her of that notion. There is also the
news that her cousin may still be alive on Newyan, and still fighting the
Aguirre fight Zara abandoned. Honor requires Zara to return, though it
breaks her heart to leave her husband and adopted daughters. The only
possible course also involves revealing to the galaxy the long buried shame
of Newyan's "Names".

I was very enthusiastic about _A Name Among The Stars_, which I though was
very successfully Ilona Andrews-ish without being derivative. While I enjoyed
this book, I thought it was a lesser effort. In particular, I found the
multiple viewpoints too scattered, the quick acceptance and deployment of
Kernow's secret a bit unlikely, and the rationale for most of the populace not
knowing what was going on a little weak.

Still, it was enjoyable, and leaves plenty of loose ends for sequels, which
I will buy.

Mark Henwick has created a story that thrills my heart and leaves me gasping for breath. I feel like I participated in this revolution as it awakened old memories of earlier lifetimes. This incredible story is an inspiration to any reader.

It’s a follow up storyline to Book one, and kept my interest throughout. I absolutely love the characters he continues to build on from earlier, and the twists and turns. Great second story in the series.

It’s not often I read a book that brings both laughter and tears. This story also brought with it a gratifying sense of righteous fulfillment balanced with the explosive tension of what’s next? Highly recommend.

I read this through my Kindle Unlimited plan. This was a very good follow-up to original and it was good to see how things had unfolded for Zara. Great creativity continues, and this one should not be missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic interplanetary intrigue
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 31, 2019

If you want a dose of extremely clever, with political intrigue, interplanetary covert war games and characters so real they jump off the page then this is the book for you. Mark Henwick is one of those authors that I have to concentrate to read, and not in a bad way at all, he makes me think, not only about the following the plot of the book but about the big questions in life. Here we have the follow up to A Name Among the Stars, events that happen too many years to count after humans have colonised other planets and space technology became a thing of wonder. Everything was so thought out, so well explained that it was utterly believable in every respect.

Zara is now a Duchess of Kernow, her new home planet, however the planet of her birth is in big trouble, from a more covert plan by the Hajnal (who tried to take down Kernow), so long reaching that no other authorities are willing to believe that anyone is in danger at all. In actuality the entire planetary systems as they know it are in grave danger and Zara and her allies, strange and non human allies as well as those from the Hian Hegemony Kingdoms, a powerful group who control much of trade in the systems, along with their SAEs (self actualised entities, AI to you and I) who have become Zara's strongest friends. The battles and manoeuvres had me literally on the edge of my seat for most of the book and just to put the cherry on top, the ending was extremely satisfying. I really hope we get more of Zara and her worlds.

Just brilliant. A sequel to A Name Among the Stars; a story that pulls you in, screws with your feelings. It is as if you were the protagonist, living the tale. I am yet to be disappointed by an offering from this author.
