Books containing stories by Simon Toyne
Simon Toyne recommends

Mars One (2026)
Charlotte Robinson
"Mars One is a brilliant new addition to the 'don't go to Mars' genre spawned by Andy Weir's The Martian. Part LeCarre, part Armageddon it's one of those books that manages to range all over the map and never lose pace or sight of the story. Deftly written, tightly plotted, the perfect book to read on holiday whilst congratulating yourself with every page that you did not book a ticket on a rocket to anywhere."

Grave Expectations (2023)
(Grave Expectations, book 1)
Alice Bell
"A great read, with great characters, lots of humour, some misty-eyed moments and lots of swearing. Utterly delightful - like the BBC show Ghosts mixed with Cluedo."
