Praise for One Way

  • A rip-roaring thriller of a book that hits the ground running and doesn't stop until the final chapter - John Marrs, author of the bestselling/Radio 2 Book Club choice THE ONE

  • One Way is what would happen if the crime and sci-fi genres got together and had a baby. Deeply immersive, chilling and atmospheric enough that you will believe yourself under a cold Martian sky. An utterly fabulous book! - Emma Kavanagh, bestselling author of FALLING and HIDDEN

  • An intense, gripping sci-fi thriller - Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author

  • One Way is a taut and claustrophobic hard SF thriller. Morden does a fantastic job of ratcheting up the tension like oxygen escaping from a pressurised Martian habitat - Gavin Smith

  • A claustrophobic, high-tension, survival-against-the-odds thriller. It paints a convincing picture of the lethal Martian envrionment as well as the growing terror of being incarcerated in a deadly prison with no way out - Guardian

  • S.J. Morden's Agatha-Christie-in-space thriller accelerates to warp speed and becomes an engrossing whodunnit . . . The red planet was never bloodier. - Financial Times
