See all formats and editions

Triton station, Outer Circles headquarters of Ragnox Inc, on the moon of Neptune, is as far as the intrepid can go. It’s a place to make money, lots of money, and for seven lucky travellers, bound for Triton on the ISF Heloise, that’s exactly what they intend to do. Maggy Jole wants to belong. Peter Selden wants to escape. Abigail Dieterman wants to be free. Merrit Burnand wants to start again. Christie Steen wants to forget. No one knows what David Rabiotti wants. And Smith, well, Smith wants everything. Does it really matter what they want? The journey to Triton will take them eleven months – eleven months to contemplate the future, come to terms with the small print of their contracts, and wish they’d never signed. But changing their minds is not an option. Sometimes it really is better to travel… than arrive.

“The surprises came thick and fast and the expertly woven plot came together in a rousing ending that is one of the best I’ve read. Ever.” Trish Powers
“Really good book. I enjoyed my time with the crew and passengers of the Heloise. We made good progress together. We started as strangers and ended as friends. What started as a journey towards fear may yet end in redemption.” Noel Powell

Thorne was born in Luton and graduated from Aberystwyth University (history) and from the Open University (Law). She set up a restaurant with her sister and made miniature furniture for collectors. She lives in Pembrokeshire, which forms a background for much of her writing, as does Luton.

She writes psychological mysteries, or "domestic noir," exploring the reason for crimes and their consequences, rather than the details of the crimes themselves. and her first novel, "A Time For Silence," was published by Honno in 2012, with its prequel, "The Covenant," published in 2020. "Motherlove" and "The Unravelling" were also published by Honno. "Shadows," published by Lume, is set in an old mansion in Pembrokeshire and is paired with "Long Shadows," also published by Lume, which explains the history and mysteries of the same old house. She's a member of Crime Cymru. Her latest crime novel, "Fatal Collision is published by Diamond Crime (2022)

She also writes Science Fiction, including "Inside Out" (2021) and "Making Waves" (2022)

Intriguing and compelling

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 27, 2021

Inside Out appears to mark a change in genre from Thorne Moore's existing body of work but in fact it has far more in common with her previous novels than it has differences. It shares with them a high quality of writing, acutely observed settings, intriguing characters, twisting plot, varying time periods and dry wit. The only real difference is that is not on the same planet. Or indeed, for most of the novel, on any planet.

Thorne Moore has said herself that whatever the setting, she is always writing about what people might do when pushed to their limits, and Inside Out is certainly no exception to that. A group of disparate travellers are aboard a spaceship, ostensibly the space-age equivalent of a cruise liner, on their way to Triton. None of them is particularly sympathetic, they all have mysterious pasts and fairly obscure presents, but by the end of the story we know them and their motivations so well we are rooting for them all. The sense of hope and redemption at the end of the novel is hugely satisfying, and the exciting last few chapters worthy of any blockbuster sci-fi movie. Highly recommended.

Entertaining Sci-Fi

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 16, 2021

Being a fan of Thorne Moore’s earlier work, I was full of admiration to see she had branched into science-fiction with her usual panache.
A woman of many talents, Ms Moore has proven how able she is to slip between genres and produce work so distinct from her historical novels and domestic noir as to be unrecognisable.
This sci-fi tale is fresh and different indeed with a large cast of hugely diverse characters each with their own in-depth back story and motivations. They are closeted together on the ISF Heloise bound for Triton on the promise of riches galore from Ragnox Inc. The claustrophobia on the spaceship is palpable and only magnifies when they dock at Ganymede Alpha and the mainstream passengers disembark.
Those who are left are on their way to make their fortunes on Triton, all in very different ways but all embroiled within the tentacles of the Ragnox Corporation, and some of the antics they get up to had me in stitches. There is a strong current of irony running through the book that is genuinely funny, with no holds barred. As the dynamics between the fortune hunters evolves there are many unforeseen twists and reveals that make it a fun read and keeps you guessing all the way through. Inside Out is great entertainment, providing a welcome escape from our own experience of claustrophobia through lockdown, and the heart-in-mouth, thrilling ending does not disappoint.

Recommended to Any Readers Who Enjoys Character-led Stories – Whatever the Genre

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 13, 2021

For many years I have admired Thorne Moore’s work. She has written in various genres but, threaded through all, there is always a psychological mystery: a need to know why her characters have acted in a certain way, what were the circumstances that “upset the applecart”, as I like to think of it. The mystery may have parallel themes of crime, or the introduction of historical or contemporary, events, or the exploration of relationships, but there is always the psychological ‘why’ lurking. I think this is one reason I have always been gripped by her stories and the intricate ways they move along.
And this smooth progression of the plot is often reinforced by the background of the novel, whether it’s of the countryside and life at a certain era, an old house that’s been lived in by generation, or myths and legends. And, as an added extra, to give atmosphere and emotion to these settings, there are always short evocative descriptions of the weather to reflect the mood of the scene. Wonderful!
So, I have to admit, I was surprised and not a little perturbed to hear she has delved into writing Science Fiction. After all, one of this author’s greatest qualities is her innate ability to bring setting to life, by just a line or two of description that instantly evokes a sense of place and an immediacy to the background that her characters move around in.
I mean, a spaceship in Outer Space! No weather, no interesting ‘moving around settings’ for the characters, no historic background, no real characters (Maybe ET-Type aliens?).
Yes, yes, I know; I have little knowledge of the Sci-Fi genre. Which I was to learn. Very quickly.
It is at this point I always say that I don’t give away spoilers.
But what I will say is that Inside Out is not just science fiction, it is a story that includes all that I admire of Thorne Moore’s writing..
There is mystery and intrigue. Excellent individual dialogue from the brilliantly rounded main characters, all with their own back stories and reasons for being on what initially seems to be a luxurious cruise liner for rich, middle-class passengers. (I say “luxurious” but there is a ‘wait and see’ moment – and that’s all I will say about that). Together, with a cast of minor characters as foil to the main ones, there is crime, danger, adventure, humour, and even a little romance. And … there are brilliant settings: of the layers and decks of the ship, of the various planets that the ISF Heloise docks at, and of a chilling description of outer space. And, then, ultimately, we land on Triton, the destination of the group of main characters, where we are made aware of the truth of life with Ragnox Inc.
Just here, I was very tempted to write, Dum De Dum Dum Dah here, but I won’t.
All I will say, is that Inside Out is a novel I thoroughly enjoyed and one I would recommend to any readers who enjoys character-led stories – whatever the genre

Really fun!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2021

This was a very fun read! I enjoyed the character progression as the bunch of very different people journeyed into the unknown. That's something I've always enjoyed in books by Thorne Moore - whether its psychological thriller, historical fiction, ~supernatural or sci-fi, their characters (good and bad) are always very well written, with a lot of depth. Very cool take on the future of space travel/settlement too (don't want to say more in case I start on spoilers!). Good amounts of seriousness, scariness/thrill, humour and sci-fi. Looking forward to the next one!

I don't do Sci-Fi

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 15, 2021

Who knew I would give a Sci-Fi novel 5 stars!? I am on record as saying, 'I don't do Sci-Fi.' Which only goes to show, don't judge a book by its genre. As a big fan of Thorne Moore's books; her immaculate plotting, brilliant characterisation, lush sense of place & above all, damn fine writing, I approached Inside Out (on a Kindle - hello? I don't do Kindle either) with caution. Full disclosure: I read a chapter & ran away. (I don't do Sci-Fi.) And then, because I had to admit, the quality of the writing was self-evident & I was curious, I went back.

I am so pleased I did! This book has all the elements I have come to appreciate in Thorne Moore's storytelling & even though I don't do Sci-Fi, I have been won over by this tale at least. It concerns seven fearless travellers enticed by the possibility of huge monetary rewards. During a long, long, claustrophobic journey to Triton (a moon of Jupiter) things, as they say, get tricky. It's Sci-Fi, folks (which I don't do), what do you expect!? It's an exciting, very clever version of the genre. There is humour, danger, a dash of romance, tension, an abundance of larks & above all, the author's wonderful sense of irony. Honestly, even though I don't do Sci-Fi, it's really very good. And even if you don't, do give it a go. You'll love it!
