All for one and one for all.

An ancient saying, but Jan and Bjorn have lived by it. Carrying the burden of their mission to save an ungrateful home world, they and the oddball crew of the Acid Penguin must deal with uncertain friends and unwelcoming space stations as they mix trade and rescue missions, while battling with pirates on their journey into the Margin.

But on their path is a major star system about to be convulsed with revolution and war. A star system with a navy on the lookout for the Acid Penguin. It’s a fool’s errand, but Jan has made a commitment, even though she knows the Dark takes fools. Every spacer knows this truth. The crew of the Acid Penguin have cheated the Dark at every turn, but the Dark always wins in the end.

What will this all for one commitment cost? Her ship? Her crew? Her life?
Or everything?

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.

A race to save a planet. Corrupt officials. Pirates. Doing the right thing even if it kills you. What a great story!

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2022

It’s a decent sequel, follows in much the same as book 1, and continues the storyline and character development started there. More battles perhaps, and not always a clear goal other than just to survive. The storyline pauses at book’s end but resolution will come in a future installment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Solid Science Fiction
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2022
I liked this book, a tight serial continuation from the first book. The crew of the Acid Penguin find themselves still being pursued across the galaxy by their old pirate nemesis as well as others less than happy with their ad hoc alliance with a trading confederation that is more than what it appears to be. The writing as in all of Mark Henwick's books remains tight and in focus. The characters are becoming more of a team with a shared goal of reaching the inner systems. A lot of good action, with a good plot to keep things moving.

3.0 out of 5 stars Abrupt Ending
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2022
Verified Purchase
The sudden ending and apparent death of a key character are hard to accept. No transition. Roller coaster plot twists are not a favorite type of tale for me either. The character development is not deep, but good world building. I'll probably read the 1st few pages of the 3rd book at some point to see how the last paragraph wraps up, but based on the 3rd book description, perhaps that character does return. The plot seems to be getting more complex, not sure how it all resolves in a single book, but maybe it does. Is the trilogy the end?

The continuing story of two soldiers bent on making a difference and rooting out the widespread pirate network while trying to save their planet. I am really enjoying this series and the world the author has created. Nothing better than the underdog beating a vast and more powerful evil network and taking it down one pirate at a time while trying to survive. Highly recommend.
