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.

Josh and Ixchel have travelled back in time, but it might not be so easy to get home again. They've landed in the Mayan era, when the prophecy about the world ending in 2012 was first foretold. And they cannot believe who they have found there. Clearly Josh isn't the only person to have cracked the secret of time travel. But a bigger surprise awaits the pair when they return to the 21st century. Nothing is quite as they remember it - and it's up to them to work out why.
