Midway #1
Mark One
Nine men, ex-military, are on a mission to destroy a genetics laboratory and capture a genetically engineered specimen. They are supported by four rogue CIA agents, who have commandeered a test drone and a missile at a Marine base. The team attacks the genetics laboratory complex before dawn, during a raging blizzard. Within hours, seven of the men are dead, one is severely wounded and one barely escapes. The drone with its missile has been destroyed. The next morning the four rogue agents are found dead from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Mark Midway does not know his real parents, nor where and when he was born. Two scientists adopted him when he was a young child and his home since has been a genetic research laboratory.
After the attack, Mark flees the laboratory complex, seeking safety and somewhere he can call home. The FBI is on his case and a mysterious organization offers him its assistance. However, he is at risk. There are unknown killers chasing him and he needs to protect himself and his friends. He needs to survive.

I enjoyed this fast paced thriller. There are some aspects slightly swept over (presumably to be picked up in future books) but this works as a thriller with a touch of sci-fi dropped in.
Mark is an enhanced human with additional ability and stamina (think more Bourne than the Bionic Man), When his adopted family is killed and their laboratory is destroyed, Mark survives and realises that he has powerful enemies. These enemies are within the establishment and Government and he needs friends and quickly.
The theme where the good guys within the Government and the FBI are combating those within the establishment worked well and was a good counterbalance to Mark and his story. Luckily Mark is not portrayed as superhuman so credibility is not stretched and it’s not too sci-fi at all.
I thought it all worked pretty well to be honest and I did find it an enjoyable read. One story thread ends too abruptly but there is a mysterious element also dropped in to set up the next book.

3 stars. Not great, but not too terrible. From my point of view, not too sophisticated nor too detailed. I was expecting a little bit more of the book to be centered on Mark and his genetically enhanced body. The story focused a little on this, but not as much as I figured.
The way the story was written we missed reading about a lot of the action, and instead we saw the after effects. I criticized other books for this doing this. I would like to see the author build up the suspense and then describe to me how things happen (or show me them happening). Picked this one up for free, and pretty sure I will not be continuing this series. Writing style was just too simple.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thrillers, especially with a touch of science fiction. In this novel the fantastic elements come in the form of genetically engineered humans. Spare, fast moving prose without excess baggage or overindulgence in description or minor characters. I look forward to the rest in the series. I can easily picture this as a film or series on television also.
A copy of this book was provided for an honest interview.

Received this via LibraryThing as a mobi. Not sure if I received an unedited edition/rough draft but the cumbersome sentence structure hints that I did. The story itself is quite good and unique. I enjoyed the premise and Mark Midway's journey.

I hate to knock a writers hard work but this book left me wanting. The plot is solid but the execution was flawed. The writing felt stiff and blunt no subtlety at all. If this was his debut novel then good job if its not then the writer needs to step up his game..

An interesting and unusual premise penned by an exceptional author yields a great read.
I found "Mark One" by John Hindmarsh compelling from the first chapter. I received the book as a gift from BookFunnel, and the description piqued my curiosity, so I downloaded it to my phone and tested the first few pages.
Although I struggled with fully understanding the circumstances and the focus, the descriptions were so clear and persuasive that I moved the book to my tablet and quickly immersed myself in an exciting and well-written yarn, with a smorgasborg of: bad guys; bible-thumpers; bikers; CIA agents; FBI agents; good guys; intellectuals; politicians; Russian crooks; scientists; and numerous innocent bystanders.
With such an enormous and varied cast of characters it usually would be very difficult for me to keep them straight in my mind; fortunately Hindmarsh's skill at yarn-weaving let me keep up—not entirely without difficulty, yet I never had to ask the Goodreads forum (or Hindmarsh) for clarification.
The premise is unusual: a genetically-engineered man is discovered and sought by various entities, from evil Russian crooks and U.S. agents to god-fearing bible-thumpers intent on ridding the world of evil scientific experiments.
The man turns out to have some incredible abilities, so he escapes a lot of the snares created to variously kill or use him—but not without an occasional "oops" that puts him in the hands of strangers, some of whom yearn for his instant demise.
John Hindmarsh's writing style; grammar; and composition make this an enjoyable read. His peculiar imagination makes it delightful… and for some of us, addictive.

My first thought when I started reading Mark One was - Does he know?
Mark seems to be a quiet young man who enjoys learning both intellectually as well as physically. To him, everything is a welcomed challenge. When his home and family are threatened, his superior training and logic enables him to overtake the attackers without personal harm. That is if you call losing his only known parents and home not harm.
This book caught my attention considering the recent announcement of near approval of human genetic research that is happening right now. Within a couple of years, babies will be genetically engineered to eliminate severe diseases. From that, who knows what will happen.
Is Mark the only man-made human or are there others? Why was he kept in isolation? Who is the secret organization that offered him refuge? Do they want him for further research? And what would happen if he were captured by a government?
Throughout the book, Hindmarsh led me to believe that Mark was only one in a much larger sampling of cloned or genetically created humans. He led me through Mark's escape, his discovery by both friendly and not so friendly people. As Mark ran, he found his mere existence was a threat to those around him. That thesis leads to the full series called Mark Midway, which seems like a good series to read.

I’d give it 2-1/2 stars. Not quite bad enough to be two, but not good enough for a three. The main character is a bit underdeveloped. It took the entire book to begin to feel anything for him, but I basically got behind him before the end. It ends WAY too suddenly, like the author ran out of time and had to finish abruptly. I would like to have seen several more chapters building tension before the ending. The language attempts to be American, but misses very blatantly, and the grammar and excessive, oddly-placed commas makes me wonder about the editor. Several recurring phrases that were supposed to come from American mouths were clearly British. Americans just don’t talk this way.
The premise is interesting, but I don’t think there were enough examples of the main character’s supposed advanced abilities. I would have liked to get to know and care for him more deeply. It just fell a bit flat compared to other thrillers. If it’s a first novel by the author, I’ll give it a pass and try the next book, but if it doesn’t get better, I’ll likely move on. It didn’t capture me the way most of my other favorites did from the very first installment. Characters and plots like Pike Logan, Mitch Rapp, Agent Zero, Jonathan Gray, Scot Harvath, Cotton Malone, Sigma Force, Orphan X, etc. all grabbed me early and never let go. This one just isn’t to that level.

Test tube soldier proves his value in contemporary thriller - 5 stars - Outstanding
Mark Midway grows up at a twice normal pace. He was the proof of design model of a soldier who could be fabricated on short notice. Mark came to the attention of a fundamentalist group who wanted to eliminate everything not of their belief's proper order of things.
Mark was designed to be a soldier; he was raised in a laboratory. Now in his 20s, he can out-perform normal people physically and mentally. Polite and deferential, Mark accepted his adoptive parents who ran the LifeLong Institute's research center in suburban Virginia.
The story builds when a terrorist group tries to destroy LifeLong. Mark's remarkable design enables him to look human but act more quickly and accurately. You cannot deny his humanity. Mark excels at communicating with animals and humans to earn their trust or, if necessary, face the consequences.
A significant part of the story is that the upper levels of the government of the United States have been compromised by wealthy ideologues who see their way as the only way. In their view, Mark is the work of the devil, to be crushed and eliminated.
There is suspense with quickly-formed working relationships leading to a satisfying ending. There are four books in the series about Mark Midway. I just ordered the complete set.

John Hindmarsh delivers to the reader of Mark One, a very smooth reading story told by a smooth writing John Hindmarsh. The story is exciting and lots of action as Mark Midway, the main character of the book finds himself hunted and running. All he wants to do is find some place to “feel safe”. Thus begins a whole journey for the reader as Mark Midway finds his own journey which definitely is “not safe”. Well developed characters, well thought out plot, and told with a FLARE by John Hindmarsh, in Mark One, proves out Mr. Hindmarshes skillful writing. Easy to keep up with, but filled with surprises along the way, and does NOT disappoint. John Hindmarshes synopsis of the book Mark One, sets the stage for the reader but what it doesn’t tell you is just how wonderfully enjoyable a story the reader is about to encounter, which IS WONDERFUL and action packed. Held me from first page to end of book! Compelling read ride! I highly recommend this book as the first book in John Hindmarsh’s Mark Midway series. I can’t wait to read the next books. ENJOY!

Mark Midway has above-normal reaction speed, is a gifted shooter, and learns much faster than an average person. 12-years-old, but appearing to be in his mid-20’s, he is now fighting for his life, while trying to protect those around him. And he learns that he is the product of genetic manipulation.
Yes, there is lots of action, but it is not the hyped-up Hollywood Jason Bourne blood bath. This is a story of self-discovery, with a great cast of characters, all of whom are very well rendered, and very convincing, whether they be the “good”, the ���bad” or the “ugly”. Those who are among the living at the end of this novel give great promise of future revelations as to who they really are. Personally, I am looking forward to further details of the backstory of Archimedes Schmidt.
I have downloaded the next two books in the series with great expectations. “Discovering” John Hindmarsh is already one of the highlights of 2017.

Writing this as i just finished book 2..
I have to say this book series is very interesting.. But its author... Is quite sadistic.
Why i say that is hidden behind the spoiler tag... Those who want to read it can. Those who don't ..Well don't. Just be aware that if you pick up this book series.. you should have a strong constitution.
Per the spoiler info.. I honestly am torn about finishing this series.. I kind of wish i had never started reading it.
That said.. There are multiple issues with spelling...etc with this book. It could have used a better editor.

An enjoyable page-turner
John Hindustan has written a thriller that became one of my favorites because it has all the realistic and continuous action a good thriller should have but without the frenetic rush so many writers use nowadays to keep their readers' need for stimulation satisfied. "Mark One" gives the reader the fast pace any good thriller should without leaving lots of loose ends and the feeling that the reader has.missed something along the way. The mystery items left are those the reader can anticipate with confidence will be covered as more of Mark's story unfolds in future novels. Well done!

Good book but an editor is badly needed.
Mark Midway is different than most people. He's getting anroughnstart in life though. This story is about some of his beginnings and sets the stage for more storuws5. It's a good read and keeps you engaged but head some of the sentences. A few I read several times and they still made no sense. The most aggravating part though was the author's use of question marks where the sentence wasn't a question. There are enough of them that it was annoying. The story is good enough that I will consider purchasing future Mark Midway books.

Wow, this was a cracking good read!
Great cast of characters, a really fascinating plot and very well written. I seem to have stumbled across a succession of fantastically good reads lately - hope my luck holds!
A trail of dead bodies, a crooked politician and a sinister group with rather violent plans are on the loose. This book has a lot going on, all of it well plotted.
Fast-paced, tension and suspense on every page, this was an addictive, thoroughly enjoyable read. A series I'll be following!
Highly recommended!

Very interesting. This is the beginning of a series, which partially explains why this book ends the way it does. Mark has some great combative instincts due to the way he was brought up. The last couple that raised him are growing some human embryos that are almost ready for the adult stage. A senator and a reverend think this is an abomination and want them destroyed. This is pretty well written and interesting, However, I was very surprised at the ending and have questions. I'm sure the author has his reasons.

Fantastic Read
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Sci fi is not a usual genre that I would opt to read, consequently I actually think I enjoyed it more because I was almost expecting not to!
I have great respect for the author (trying not to include any spoilers) particularly for the ending. The non happy ever after is realistic and unexpected. I have empathy & compassion for Mark throughout & am now looking forward to getting to know his character more. Thank you John Hindmarsh.

This was an enjoyable thriller that kept you thinking, and was a good read. Without having a spoiler, I thought the ending was refreshing as it wasn’t the “normal” formulaic ending for a thriller, and it makes me want to see what happens in the next book in the series. I picked this up for free during a Kindle promotion vs. its normal price of $3.99 and certainly received more than $3.99 worth of entertainment value out of it. If you like thrillers, I would recommend your giving this one a try.

Good exciting read but...
I found the book compelling to read to find out what was happening to the characters. However, I don't enjoy books that require buying the next one in the series to see what happens to the characters. I prefer books like Jack Reacher or Kinsey Millhone that complete the story line in one book. The next in the series is a different story line but still expands the main character(s).
I haven't decided if I will buy the next book in this series.

A rather different thriller
We meet Mark early in his life before a break (at first) of an uncertain period of time before being re-introduced to him. He’s then put into grave danger by sanctimonious idiots. The remainder of the story is about how he deals with it along with some useful assistance from people who he fortuitously meets during an interlude.
Definitely a page turner!

I enjoyed the story a great deal and look forward to reading the next episode.
The introduction was a little fuzzy, but once you got into the gist of the rest of the book it all fell into place.
The story kept my interest right to the end. I was a little disappointed with how the individuals (Robin, Tom, Miss Victoria ) ended.
Again, I highly recommend this book.

Interesting Premise, Action-filled
Interesting introduction to the storyline which develops into a fast-paced, Action-packed novel with several twists and turns. The resolution of Book o be was sudden, surprising and a bit sad. The second book looks as if it will continue with surprises and interesting twists.

While the protagonist is the definition of a "Mary-Sue," he's so likable that I didn't care.
There are a lot of rough places in this book... Like the source of the antagonist's obsession, or the lack of societal uproar upon discovering a US Senator orchestrated a terrorist attack on US soil. But the action drives the reader forward. We want to see Mark in action - I still want more.

Another excellent effort by Hindmarsh. The premise isn't new, but is still interesting. What Hindmarsh does with it is interesting. The author's strengths, good characterization, great plot with twists, and an easy to read narrative are all on display. Somewhat dark at times, but not unrealistically. All in all great read and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
September 21, 2022
I really liked this book. Loved the characters and how well we got to know them so quickly. The lead character was someone you could emphasize with and root for all the way. The story moved along and brought many loose ends to fruition very quickly instead of dragging several storylines out. I definitely like the writing style. Already downloaded Mark Two!
May 5, 2017
Could use some editing, but the story flowed and was great. A group of terrorists attacked the lab where Mark lived and worked. Everyone in the complex was killed, but he saved himself by killing most of the attackers. He then had to run for his life.

Very interesting book!
I gave this book a 5 star rating because it kept my interest throughout and wanted to see what was going to happen next. I look forward to reading the next book!

I really enjoyed this thriller. It had plenty of action and works well as a setup volume for future novels in the series, especially since it is a standalone novel that completes the basic plot and then intertwines further plotlines to entice the reader into the next novel. Well done.
April 23, 2018
A well-written, fast-paced thriller. The characters were likeable and the story compelling. I rate it 4.7 stars. (I would have rated it higher, but I don't like to be left hanging at the end of a book. Still, I do plan to read the second in the series.)
