Mark Henwick

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Honor Harrington or Kate Daniels treat yourself to this series. Amber Farrell has arrived.
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2019

The interesting development of the Bite Back series continues. If this is the first book you have purchased of the series then give yourself a treat and begin at the start of series. Amber Farrell is a complex and heroic character with lots of grit and intelligent response to tough situations. She is likeable and really tough. She is steadfast in defense of her family and house. The action in this series is non stop. The combination of military know how and the mystical side of the world building is wonderful.
In this book, Amber continues to grow in abilities and trying to harmonize the unusual abilities she has recently gained. I love the direction Mark has taken. I am already looking forward to the next.

I really enjoyed this series. I read it straight through from book one to this one. Had to stop for work;). The action, drama and adventures were well work and I loved them. The characters were interesting and it kept you entranced to finish the series. I hope we will see more of them.. If not, it was good as it was written. Thank you

4.0 out of 5 stars What to say?
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2019

It wasn’t as good as 1,3 or 4. But it wasn’t bad either.
I didn’t even know this book was in the process of being written. I only knew it existed because it showed up in my email notifications.
It’ll probably another year or two before #7 is released.
So there are some things in this book that do get clarified.
Spirit guides not on the approved list are very wide and varied.
Tammany got adopted..... kinda. Well it’s just better than being stuck with her mother.
Yelena is answering Ambers phone for her. If you think her response to Felix trying to get in touch with Amber was bad, just wait till you read about about she said to mama Farrell.
Speaking of mama Farrell, she’s trying to be okay with her daughters unconventional relationship.
Kath has come out of the closet....... for alcoholism.
First born Farrell children dying.... that’s brought up a lot.
Diana is finally back, for a chunk of the book.
Ambers House and Pack are growing.
Felix tried to play politician when he should have been going on gut/Call instinct anyway. And Alex almost was fried because of it.
Cameron is an interesting alpha to say the least. She gives even less leeway than Felix.
Naryn’s back. And still hates Amber. No surprise there.
Zane still wants to get into Ambers pants. “You have to convince my husband.” Yeah, that’s just want every hot dog wants to hear. Well you’ll have to convince my angry, territorial husband to let you have sex with me. I can’t wait to see how that plays out.
Lots of Adepts and magic in this book. It’s almost more confusing than trying to follow a delicate political debate, in Anthanate.
Ambers finally got Adepts in her House now. Pretty sure even she couldn’t have dreamed up on how’d they get there.
OH!!! And she finally infused her first ever Aspriant. I think it’s safe to say her House will never be low key. And knowing the scent of the Marque will never be necessary world wide. It’s immediately obvious who belongs to House Farrell.
OPS 4-10 are just as military as they’ll always be. Figure that tidbit out.

Mark Henwick had written the 6th story in the Bite Back series and it's the best one yet. Mr Henwick has mastery over telling the story and bringing his charcters to life. Written, as usual, from Amber Farrell's point of view, she has to put everything together to try and rescue Tullah and her Dragon. She is also trying to find Tara, the spirit of her dead twin and Hanna er wolf spirit guide. There is also an old evil Amber has to fight that has chased chased her family ever since they left Ireland long ago. You must get this book. :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome addition to the excellent Bite Back series!
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2019

Another great addition to the Bite Back series. Mark is excellent at keeping a complex multi-level story moving swiftly forward with compelling characters and story threads. The main and supporting characters come alive off the page with each contributing to the story and acting with purpose whether good, evil or somewhere in between. He has once again wrapped up many earlier threads while introducing new ones that continue to build on what has already transpired. While it is possible to read this novel standalone, it really comes alive when you read the entire series. Though there is not a huge cliffhanger at the end, there is so much going on and such a building of momentum that you will be desperate to get the next novel in the series! Great Job, Mark, I’ll be waiting impatiently for the next book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting twists and turns
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2019

Like a passenger in a fast moving vehicle, looking out the side window at scenery rapidly flashing by, Amber moves through this latest tale, and we, the audience move with her.
Continuous action and little time for contemplation, both Amber and her audience are lost in the rush.

Enjoyable and entertaining, though I would have preferred a bit more introspection along with a few more valleys between action peaks. A personal preference, and this story very much falls into the show rather than tell category whereas I prefer a balance.

I did note instances where the author was somewhat directionally challenged - Utah and Nevada are definitely West not East of Denver, as an instance. I also noted that the helicopter rescue flight overstretched fuel capacity - specifications state 186 miles!

All in all, a nice addition to the Amber Farrell series. There seems to be a lot of story left to tell, if Emergence and acceptance is the goal. Now that Amber is beginning to become more of "herself", where will the story lead and upon which stage will Amber perform?

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good read. This is an excellent series.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 9, 2021

This is the Sixth book in the series chronicling the life of Amber Farrell.
In this book we see some of the aftermath of difficult issues raised in book five, along with a deeper exploration of the Adept side of Amber. Her magic, it’s impact on politics interwoven with Were and Athanate communities.
Amber’s House and pack are growing, as are her responsibilities and the dangers to her and those who surround her.
As with previous books, this is very well written. The characters are complex and well developed. There are still loose ends though, so I am hopeful that book seven is in the works. Hopefully it won’t be too long a wait.

Once again Mr. Henwick earned my trust in this series and therefore I am ok that he takes his time with publishing a new book. The story is entertaining and I could have read the whole book in one sitting if it wasn't necesarry to sleep.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointingly complicated.
Reviewed in Australia on May 29, 2020

This ongoing saga keeps getting more and more complicated with a still increasing cast of characters but no glossary of same. I struggle to remember characters from a few books back, but that is my bad luck. The biggest problem is the author’s incomprehensible spirit world. We have spirit walking, spirit world, spirit magical energy and spirit trees and monsters. I really struggled to finish this and it is probably mostly loyalty that makes me give it a three rating. And of course, there is still more to come!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2019

it might have been a long wait for this book, one of my favourite series, but it was worth every second. Every word that goes down onto the page of a Mark Henwick book is a quality one. Full of sweeping action and tiny nuances, this book carrie the weight of a sledge hammer in all it's consequences for the supernatural world but the true delight as ever is the politics and character details, the growth, the world building and the constant desire to know more.

Amber is (as ever) in a complicated situation with her fingers in many pies. Being a unique hybrid, she has links to the 3 main supernatural groups. We haven't seen much of the Adept for a while and this book features them heavily, with some new players thrown in for good measure. Amber learns a lot about herself and the ways of the Adepts. Her Athanate nature covets interesting and valuable members for her team/family and collects a few more, characters familiar from the novellas of the series. I got enough questions answered for me to be very satisfied and am still anxiously waiting for more. I can't recommend this series enough.
