In the vast expanse of space, aboard the mining ship Ethos 12, Captain Michelle Harper stands at the helm, dedicated to her mission of extracting unique properties from distant asteroids. With her trusted best friend and second-in-command, Jemison, by her side, Harper has always navigated the stars with confidence and precision.

But this mining run is unlike any other. Amidst a company-wide strike involving critical researchers, the Ethos 12 becomes a stage for a media spotlight, carrying a journalist and photographer aboard to document its all-female officer crew. The journalist, James Kerchak, isn't just any reporter—he's Harper's childhood friend, reappearing in her life under suspicious circumstances.

As the strike's tension looms over their journey, Harper struggles to maintain course. James’s odd behavior raises alarm, and when a catastrophic fire erupts on the Ethos 12, threatening the only home Harper has ever known, the mystery deepens. With Jemison and James by her side, Harper must unravel the truth behind James’s true intentions, while fighting to keep her crew alive in the face of unforeseen dangers on the surface of Tucsooey.

It Happened in Space is a gripping tale of loyalty, survival, and the uncharted territories of friendship and trust. Join Captain Harper, Jemison, and James as they embark on a perilous adventure, where every decision could mean life or death, and nothing is as it seems.
