THE PLAN TO SAVE THE FUTURE HAS ALREADY FAILED

This is how the world 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 lost Mayan book, the Ix Codex, protected by sixteen-year old Josh Garcia and fellow members of a secret society. It contains a plan to harness ancient technology - the legacy of the Erinsi, the last advanced civilisation to be destroyed by the cosmic phenomenon.
But Josh’s friends are running out of time to master the ancient technology essential to the plan.
So Josh decides to risk his own life on a daring mission - a leap forward in time to discover the truth. He's jumped ahead far enough to glimpse a post-apocalyptic world in collapse - and to realize that it could be his destiny to stay.

The final book in M.G. Harris’s best-selling Joshua Files series, in which all secrets are finally revealed – including the true identity of the mysterious Arcadio.

Praise for The Joshua Files:

“I loved it. It is the perfect ending to a series that I was enjoying long before I started The Book Zone. I would be absolutely amazed if there is a single Joshua Files fan out there who ends up feeling disappointed on finishing this book. I am a little sad that we have come to the end of Josh’s story, but also elated that it ends with such a great final instalment.” BookZone4Boys

“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

About the Author:

M.G. (Maria Guadalupe) Harris was born in Mexico City but moved to England as a young child. Before becoming a writer, M.G. worked as a scientist and ran an Internet business.

On regular visits back to Mexico, M.G. became fascinated by Mayan archaeology and made several trips to Mayan ruins in Yucatan and Chiapas. One such trip planted the seed of the idea for THE JOSHUA FILES, a best-selling series of young adult books which was translated into 17 foreign languages.

M.G. is also the author of GEMINI FORCE ONE, a trilogy of action-adventure novels for young adults created with Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson and funded initially via a hugely popular Kickstarter campaign. As M.G. Reyes she has authored EMANCIPATED, a series for older teenagers.

Review:

"The hero, Josh Garcia, probably didn't predict that every step he seems to have gone towards understanding and preventing the end of the world in December 2012, is looking to have been in vain. And even having seen so much throughout the series, even he hasn't seen anything as galling, disappointing and hellish as earth, after the end event, as foreseen so long ago by the Mayans. 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 and way surpasses its more nonsensical elements. These five files are well worth diving into." The Bookbag
