The Incident

On the International Space Station, an unthinkable disaster occurs. Was it an accident? ESA astronaut Thomas Ehrmann and NASA astronaut Patricia Michaels escape in a Soyuz capsule. The Russian authorities in Kazakhstan have questions and want to know what happened to the third member of the crew, Oleg Rashkin. They both refuse to talk. What are they hiding? Amina Young is a psychologist with the ESA. In her mid-thirties, she specialized in and advanced the field of psychological analysis of astronauts. If anyone can get to the facts about the incidents that happened on the mission, it's her. The first contradiction of Ehrmann and Michaels's stories starts Amina down a path she's not prepared for. Was the Pentagon involved? Is the Earth's future in peril? Always realistic and meticulously researched in the environment of the European Space Agency, many of the incidents described in the book actually happened and are woven together here into a gripping space thriller. For the research for this novel, Joshua personally spoke to active astronauts and former space shuttle pilots and carried out two parabolic flights with Novespace and ESA personnel to experience real weightlessness on his own body. Anyone who has always wanted to find out how international space travel works and is organized, what life is like on the ISS, and how it is intertwined with politics will find the right book here.
