Josh must decide: does he go back in time and alter history to save his father, or does he remain in the present to rescue his kidnapped mother and best friends from the Sect of Huracan? The mysterious Bracelet of Itzamna may provide the means for time travel, but time is running out in this taut end-of-the-world series entry.

YA
As he proved in his first adventure (The Joshua Files: Invisible City), Josh, like his father before him, has a dangerous streak. His reckless spirit pushes him to investigate the 2012 Mayan end-of-the-world prophecy and uncover the truth about Dad's mysterious death. Josh's complex and intriguing mission shifts between England and Mexico and entails UFOs, time travel, and a father's sacrifice.

YA
Thirteen-year-old Josh lives an ordinary life until his archaeologist father dies. Josh doesn't believe the police report and starts his own investigation; this leads him to Mexico on the trail of a secret Mayan codex. Written in present tense (partly as blog entries), the story is sharp and engaging, fueled by Josh's suspicions.
