Synopsis

A PARALLEL REALITY IN WHICH ’GOD SPARED MEXICO’ – BUT FROM WHAT?
Josh Garcia can’t go on living in the ‘outside’ world now that his mother knows the truth about the ancient prophecy that could spell doom for the planet. They move to the ‘invisible city’ where an ancient society is determined to find the solution to saving the world.
If they can’t then this is how things will end: on 22 December, an electromagnetic pulse will blast through the atmosphere. Technology will fail. Civilization will fall apart.
The key to survival lies in a secret Mayan book, the Ix Codex, protected by Josh and fellow members of the society. But someone has altered time. To put it back on track, Josh must unravel history itself; he must travel to the Golden Age of the ancient Mayan past and face the dangers of a dark, parallel reality.
The fourth and penultimate book in M.G. Harris’s best-selling Joshua Files series.

Praise for The Joshua Files:

“A headlong new title in this best-selling series, Joshua narrates a new adventure with his trademark sharpness and familiar cool. Gripping, fast-paced and exciting, this is sure to get the adrenaline pumping round the readers’ body.” Lovereading4kids

“Dealing with time travel and its inherent problems, such as how much change is too much, Dark Parallel is pure adrenaline. A great new way of bringing history to life, the Joshua Files mixes historical detail with modern technology and time travel. A well-written, fast-paced read that will appeal to anyone with an interest in history.” Inis Magazine

"As thrilling as a rollercoaster ride, this fantastical world of spies, spirits, ancient prophecies and hidden cities tests Josh to his limits and he comes to understand the conflicting demands of friendship, family, loyalty and duty." The BookTrust

"A fast-paced, first-person thriller. Her book’s Mexico setting is richly evoked, and its historical and conspiracy elements are convincingly delineated." Financial Times

"A very well-crafted saga. Josh, his girl and his temperament, dovetail into a much broader picture of saving the world that has a compelling energy." The Bookbag
