Hey Mark, just wanted to say that I loved "Last Man in Tehran". I read all the way to the end, including the acknowledgements. In the last paragraph you disclose you had a situation that seems to parallel what happened to Hadfield. Is that true? If so, I'm very sorry :(

Mark E. Henshaw >>Is that true? If so, I'm very sorry :(

Unfortunately, it is true. My younger son developed Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) when he was 18 months old and we spent several years fighting cancer. My son survived, but some of the children we met in the hospital were not so fortunate. Medical science has made great strides in defeating pediatric cancers; it will be a wonderful day when that entire family of diseases is wiped out.

Hi there, I just read all three of your books within a week (work cut into my reading time) and got a question about "The Fall of Moscow Station": Your characters arrive in or leave Berlin via Tegel and Schönefeld airport. And if I'm not mistaken the book takes place in 2018/2019, no? Is that a subtle dig at our apparent inability to finish building Berlin-Brandenburg International airport? Or just a fluke? ;-D

Margaret Joyce asked Mark E. Henshaw:

The Fall of Moscow Station was phenomenal! Thanks for that! The intrigue and dangerosity felt like what I was accustomed to expecting from, say, the context of Berlin 1944-45, so it was a real eye-opener to that level of angst in your Moscow story. So, was that intensity real to life, or did you really crank it up a whole lot for dramatic tension?
