What to expect
The Times Best New Science Fiction!
JACK VAN DER VEERDEN IS ON THE RUN.
From his billionaire parents' chilling plans, from his brutal bodyguard, from a planet on the brink of climate chaos.
Seeking freedom out in space, he gets a job on a mining ship chasing down an asteroid. Crewed by mercenaries and misfits, they all want a cut of the biggest payday in history.
A single mistake could cost Jack his life - and that's before they reach their destination. The bounty from the asteroid could change lives and save nations - and corrupt any one of them.
Because in space, it's all or nothing: riches beyond measure, or dying alone in the dark.
Praise for ONE WAY:
'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' Waterstones
'A claustrophobic, high-tension, survival-against-the-odds thriller' Guardian
Critics Review
-
Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity...Ridley Scott's The Martian...James Gray's Ad Astra. Few novels measure up to these gripping cinematic visions, but Simon Morden's Gallowglass knocks them out of the park.
