WE STAND AT THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA
Frank Kittridge is serving life for murdering his son's drug dealer. So when he's offered a deal by Xenosystems Operations - the company that runs the prison - he takes it, even though it means swapping one life sentence for another.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO BE ALIVE
He's been selected to help build the first permanent base on Mars. Unfortunately, his crewmates are just as guilty of their crimes as he is - and he'll have to learn to trust them if they're to succeed.
THE FUTURE OF SPACE TRAVEL IS IN SAFE HANDS
As the convicts set to work on the frozen wastes of Mars, the accidents multiply. Until Frank begins to suspect they might not be accidents at all . . .
XENOSYSTEMS OPERATIONS: MAKING DREAMS A REALITY
There's a murderer amongst them, and everyone's a suspect.

Critics Review
A claustrophobic, high-tension, survival-against-the-odds thriller. It paints a convincing picture of the lethal Martian environment as well as the growing terror of being incarcerated in a deadly prison with no way out.
An explosive thriller that blends science fiction with crime.
A rip-roaring thriller of a book that hits the ground running and doesn’t stop until the final chapter
If Orange is the New Black was to meet The Martian.
An intense, gripping sci-fi thriller
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!
S.J. Morden’s Agatha-Christie-in-space thriller accelerates to warp speed and becomes an engrossing whodunnit . . . The red planet was never bloodier.
One Way is a great adventure story . . . It is also a great account and record of human endurance in the face of brutal, cruel and greedy authoritarian control
A cracking read. A compelling vision of the near future inhabited by well motivated characters. It’s a thrilling tale that grabs you and whips along to the very last breathless page.
Morden knows his stuff when it comes to space travel, the depiction of life on Mars is fascinating, and there’s something chilling about the idea of being so far from home and so utterly beyond rescue.
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
Twists and a series of betrayals abound along with much technical rigour and a strong touch of irony, making this a great, involving read.
One Way is a tense and dramatic thriller that entertains from beginning to end
An exciting Mars-based thriller.
One Way is a superb high-stakes SF murder mystery novel that paints a vivid and intense picture of a genuine effort to inhabit Mars . . . immensely enjoyable
There is a satisfying hint of Andy Weir’s The Martian.
A blend of classic mystery, Orange is the New Black and Andy Weir’s The Martian, One Way is a science-fiction thriller like no other.
A tense and claustrophobic murder-mystery-on-Mars
It’s the gripping sense of believable physical experience in a wholly alien landscape that grabs the attention and brings the writing to vivid life
One Way delivers a compulsive, claustrophobic story where there is literally no way out and nowhere to hide.
