One Way

Eight astronauts. One killer. No way home. It's the dawn of a new era - and we're ready to colonise Mars. Xenosystems Operations (XO) has won the contract to construct a new Mars base with its audacious promises of highly advanced equipment. Unfortunately, the equipment they've promised doesn't exist yet, there's no way they can create it in time, and XO is desperate enough to cut a lot of corners. The first thing to go is the automation... the next thing they'll have to deal with is the eight astronauts they'll send to Mars, when there aren't supposed to be any at all... Frank—father, architect, murderer—is recruited for the mission from XO's private prison with the promise of a better life, along with seven of his most notorious fellow inmates. But as his crew sets to work on the red wasteland of Mars, the accidents mount up, and Frank begins to suspect they might not be accidents at all... As the list of suspects grows shorter, it's up to Frank to uncover the terrible truth before it's too late.
