About the Author

Richard Parry grew up on a steady diet of cartoons, observed around the edges of his parents' watchful gaze. He started writing bad fiction at an early age, but has had 30 years to think about the error of his ways.

When not writing speculative fiction, he lives a life of corporate intrigue, trying to win us all a better future through the use of technology. Not only does it pay the bills: it changes the world.

He lives with the love of his life, Rae, and a cat and a dog who wage constant war in a turn of the century house nestled against a river bank. All in all, it's not so bad.

Richard Parry grew up on a steady diet of cartoons, observed around the edges of his parents’ watchful gaze. He started writing bad fiction at an early age, but has had 30 (…plus) years to think about the error of his ways.

He’s worked as an international consultant in one of the world’s top tech companies, which sounds cool, but it wasn’t all cocaine parties. Richard’s managed to wrangle “Best Novel” and “Best New Talent” shortlistings from the Sir Julius Vogel Awards. He specialises in stories where heroes save the world/universe (hey, why limit yourself?) through action scenes and clever dialogue. His latest series starts with Tyche’s Flight, an action-packed space opera where humans fight against evil mind-reading aliens.

Richard lives in Wellington with the love of his life, Rae. They have a dog, Rory, who chases birds. The birds, who have the power of flight, don’t seem to mind.

It’s nice to race along, reading your standard urban fantasy stories, noming them down like the lovely, greasy, meaty burgers - sometimes with all the fixings - that they can be. Then... BAM. (Heh)

You find yourself parked in front of what looks like a burger, but it turns out is a seasoned and aged steak, tender and flavorful, on a brioche bun, served with some truffle fries, micro greens, and other things. An item of rare and unexpected quality, leaving you delighted and willing to share with everyone else the source of such a gem.

This story is just that. The brilliant word economy to describe a situation or person without needless fluff, the visceral action without too much gore / sex / vulgarity (but just the right amounts), the dialogue that illuminates character’s personalities, and the consistent thread of humor that lifts it all up just a tad higher... yeah. Not only do you come to root for the MC, but you’ll stay to watch every side character.

And the editing! Solid, polished editing. Awesome.

Seriously, a very good a polished story. Great work. Outstanding, in all the good ways. What’s more, while this book easily stands on its own, it turns out that its only the first book in the series. So hey: looks like I need to buy some more books.

Honestly: if you are any sort of urban fantasy fan - or if you just want to read a good book - then you need to pick this one up. Highly recommended.

When a reader selects a book from the category of “Science Fiction/Fantasy” they shouldn’t be surprised to find that the story line and/or characters are way out there and might deviate significantly from the norm. So do not take my comments on the book as criticisms but merely as descriptions of the characters presented.
The author Richard Parry’s bio states that he, “grew up on a steady diet of cartoons…” and I take that to also mean comic books. As a young prepubescent lad I also spent a large portion of my allowance on a steady diet of comic books and regularly swapped them out with my neighbors as soon as I finished them. As I read Mr. Parry’s book I got the distinct impression that he took all of the comic book characters he was familiar with and mixed them together and picked the various attributes of each and made up his own characters for his book. For example, the main character in the book is Valentine Everard, or Val for short, who was bitten by a werewolf character who infected him with a virus that also made him a werewolf. Now the traditional werewolf transitioned from his normal human self to werewolf on a 28 day cycle, or on every night that had a full moon. Val has the additional attribute that apparently was taken from the Incredible Hulk where he transitions from his normal self to an enlarged and enraged werewolf when he gets mad. He also gave Val the ability to heal very quickly from any wounds he might receive as a result of his many altercations. That apparently came from the shape shifting robot that Arnold Schwarzenegger battled in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines where the robot T-X has a liquid metal body that can recover from massive damage in just a few seconds. Val does have at least one short coming in that like Superman who was sapped of his strength by contact with Kryptonite and the original werewolf who could be killed by a silver bullet, Val gets severe burns from contact dermatitis any time he touches silver. So he has to be careful not to get shot too many times by silver bullets.
Val with his special abilities is quite a force to be reckoned with when he gets mad and he gets mad every time he sees some injustice done to his friends or innocent bystanders which is quite often throughout the book.
The style in which the book is written seems to be borrowed from Tom Clancy in that the different groups of characters, and there could be three or more groups, initially doing something entirely different from each other. The story line then progresses from one group to the other while the reader is waiting to see how the groups are connected. In the Clancy books, that usually happens in the very last chapter where they all come together and work out the ending of the story in which the good guys always win. In Night’s Favour there are three groups consisting of Val and his friends, the antagonist consisting of the pharmaceutical company and their armed force and the police department. All three of these are handled as separate entities until they come together toward the end of the book. This shouldn’t have been a problem except that Mr. Parry doesn’t adequately set the scene or introduce the characters. He just starts out with a conversation between the various people and the reader has to just keep reading on before he can figure out what is going on. It’s kind of like if you got on a train and sat down behind two people who were having a conversation and you have no choice but to sit there and quietly listen for five or ten minutes before you can determine what they are talking about.
If you like to see bad guys get some serious and sometimes gory butt whippings then you will enjoy this book.

I had gotten a few chapters of Richard's book in with my daily dozens of e-mails from authors wanting me to read their work, and it was good enough to get back to Richard and let him know that from what he had written I like it, but wasn't sure when I would get a chance to read more, I get dozens of free books everyday, and feel buried. I read authors that I have been following, some for decades, or a "new" author's work that I got for free and enjoyed enough to want to read their complete series (as no one seems to do stand alone novels anymore) and a few ARC that I've agreed to do! Well Richard was taken the time to reply to my e-mails, and challenged me to finish reading his novel, so I did. I went from enjoying it to not being able to stop. It's been a while for me to read a novel in one sitting. It just kept getting better, and better, until I had finished it, and all I want to do is read the next one! Now you have to understand, I was trying to find weaknesses in the story, and the first thing I'm thinking is how can this story not be a one and done, some reviewers find it implausible in how he continued the story, I found it damn clever! Anyway a great story and somehow I'm going to have to figure out how to get work done tomorrow and read the second book! I'm very glad I took up the challenge, one of the most enjoyable reads in a long time!

This book was extremely entertaining! The action was amazing, I would rate my reading experience as very fun and was just exactly what I was looking for in a tale of this type! Parry's writing is smooth albeit not quite as refined (wrong word... serious? horrific? just read it...) as other writers of this genre have been (nods to Crouch, Sakey, Hill, et.al.). This book was certainly not as hard-core as Tim McGregor's 'Bad Wolf Chronicles' which still remain to this day my benchmark for serious werewolf tales. But what was lacking perhaps in the ethereal realm of suspense and horror was made up for in intense action sequences and character development that was amazingly well-handled! Sure, we didn't want to see everyone that was killed perhaps offed but it was so cool!

It is the start of a trilogy, and I read the second novel (Night’s Fall) first. So, why bother taking a step back when the series is moving forward?
Smart move, actually. Werewolves have been “done” many times. Some are pretty good. But this is better, much better. Heart-stopping action, love, loyalty, and humor. I am really looking forward to Night’s End, and already have it on my Kindle.

I recently re-read this book and remembered all over again why I loved it the first time. There classic tropes: monsters and mothers, a hero and an evil scientist, but sometimes who is what doesn't go together the way you expect.

5.0 out of 5 stars A spectacular starting novel
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 20, 2014

This is a really well written book. It starts slowly and you aren't really sure what is going on. Is Val a good or bad guy? What has happened to him? Why doesn't he remember? As the story starts to settle and the death count rises you get to know the motivations behind everyone and it starts to make more sense. Don't skim read the first few chapters, there are some pretty big clues in them if you are looking for them.

This book is set in modern America and deals with an ancient theme in a 21st Century way. I'm not going to spoil the plot but I can say that it doesn't involve vampires and Night is in the title.

As a book I read free on kindle it does the perfect job. It introduces me to an author who I now know cares about his story. He writes strong characters, he doesn't make everything totally black and white even if the motives for actions are basic. He's taken the time to proofread. I'm eager to read more. Warning: the death toll in this book is pretty huge and there are some uncomfortable scenes and not everyone I was cheering for got out alive.

The action is great, the discovery is so....... real. Just like the dialogue, it’s like your eves dropping on your friends who are going through some unbelievable sh*t. After such a great intro, I can’t wait to see what kind of trouble comes their way.
