"As thrilling as a rollercoaster ride, this fantastical world of spies, spirits, ancient prophecies and hidden cities tests Josh to his limits..." The Booktrust**, 2009 by "sci-fi author M.G. Harris, creator of the best-selling Joshua Files."** Radio Times Magazine**, 5th September 2013.** Previously in Zero Moment Josh Garcia finally learned the truth about what happened to his father. He's also discovered how to unleash the power of an artifact known as the Bracelet of Itzamna. Josh is one of the guardians of the Ix Codex, which contains the knowledge needed to prevent a cosmic catastrophe. If they don't solve the puzzle of the codex, on 22 December an electromagnetic pulse will blast through the atmosphere. Technology will fail. Civilization will fall apart. But when Josh notices something distinctly odd about the world around him he begins to suspect that someone has altered time. To put everything back on track, Josh must risk the dangers of time travel and unravel history itself. He must journey back to when the Ix Codex first went missing. A dark, parallel reality awaits Josh in the ancient Mayan Snake Kingdom, and also in the bizarre present day in which 'God spared Mexico' - but from what? The fourth instalment of M. G. Harris's best-selling series, The Joshua Files, which has been translated into 17 languages. Dark Parallel is the fourth in a five-part action-adventure series for readers who love sci-fi thrills firmly grounded in a contemporary setting. This series launched an author who later went on to work with Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson. "Puppet-master Gerry Anderson conceived the story for Gemini Force One, but wasn't able to complete it due to the onset of Alzheimer's. The series of novels will now be written by sci-fi author MG Harris, creator of the best-selling Joshua Files." Radio Times Magazine, 5th September 2013. Praise for Dark Parallel: "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 Praise for The Joshua Files series: "A splendid adventure story of UFOs, ancient Mayan documents and a lost city. The hero is eminently likeable...a splendid only-you-can-save-the-World denouement." Louisa Young, 23 March 2008, Mail on Sunday "A gripping survival story begins...a boy's fantasy of pyramids, caves and tunnels." Carole Mansur, 15 March 2008, The Telegraph "Indiana Jones would have stiff competition in young Joshua Garcia . . . will have the reader begging for the rest of the series. Highly Recommended." Library Media Connection, September 2010, starred review "A fast-paced, first-person thriller." James Lovegrove, 2 Feb 2008, Financial Times "This series is awesome and I have really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this to anybody. 5/5 stars!!!" Guardian Children's Books, 11 July 2014
