Peter Marcus "Mark" Adlard is an English novelist who was born in Seaton Carew[1] on 19 June 1932. He is the son of Arthur Marcus Adlard, an auctioneer, and Ethel Leech. Adlard was educated at the University of London, Trinity College, Cambridge, and the Department of Education at Oxford.[1]

Adlard's best-known works are the social science fiction novels Interface, Volteface, and Multiface.[2] published during the early 1970s. The novels concern Tcity, a 22nd-century domed megacity covering the entirety of the English North Eastern industrial area between the River Tyne and the River Tees.

A later novel, The Greenlander (1978) concerns the whaling industry in Northeast England during the early years of steam-powered shipping. This was intended to be the first of a series but, to date, no further volumes have been published.
