Présentation de l'éditeur

THE SECRET TO HIS FUTURE LIES TEN MINUTES IN THE PAST

Now that he has the ancient device that once belonged to the Itzamna of Mayan legends, Josh Garcia thinks he has discovered the key to time travel. Should he use it to jump back in time and save his father?
His betrothed, Ixchel knows what he intends to do. Should she stop him? Before they can decide, Ixchel is kidnapped by a rival secret society, a cabal who intend to make certain that a prophecy predicting the end of the world in 2012 comes true.
It's up to Josh to save Ixchel, but no rescue ever goes as planned, and events take Josh from Brazil to Mexico and Switzerland as he tries to return history to the ‘zero moment’ – when it seemed that his life all began to go wrong.
Time is running out in this exhilarating third part of the best-selling Joshua Files by M.G Harris, which has been translated into 17 languages.
Praise for The Joshua Files: “Explosive and compelling, this is the third part of the bestselling Joshua Files sequence. Don’t feel it’s essential to read the first two titles to enjoy this 3rd heart-stopping adventure, as the author cleverly interweaves the story to date at the beginning of this one.” LoveReading4kids.co.uk
“The first thing that hits you about Harris’ third instalment in this series is the electric pace. The front of the book may make it seem like another Alex Rider or Young Bond book but the Joshua Files are different, delving into the Mayan civilisation in great depth and touching on mysticism and time travel – an eclectic thematic mix that deserves to grab a wider audience.” WriteAway
"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 . . . these files are well worth diving into.” The Bookbag
