The Descendant - a prequel to The Joshua Files

An ancient prophecy. A cosmic catastrophe.

The secret of human powers so old, the memory of them exists only in the genome.

And a couple of smart young scientists on the run, trying to stay alive long enough to crack the descendant's code.

Jackson Bennett was just a regular graduate student, a molecular biologist working like crazy to finish his PhD. The last thing he expected when he landed at Mexico City airport, was to be dragged into a centuries-old conspiracy - a plot to plunge the world into a disaster that would drag technology back to the 19th century.

But when the Mexican scientist he was meeting at the airport disappears after passing him a secret, coded message, Jackson is left with only one choice. His survival is crucial, and not just because he values his own life.

With the help of Mexican archaeologist, Dr. Marie Carmen Valencia, Jackson Bennett sets out on the only path that makes sense of all the chaos. It's a path that will lead him straight into the heart of a dark, ancient conspiracy.

Can Jackson Bennett crack the code, find the Key, save the world?

From The Oxford Times, 30 April 2009:
"If MG had not broken her leg and been confined to her house in Summertown for ten weeks in 2005, perhaps her successful writing career would never have got going.She was the fastest-selling UK debut children's author of 2008 and has embarked on a series of five books for children aged nine to 19, which is an ambitious project by anyone's standards. Josh's adventures really begin when he reads his father's emails, which catapult him into Mexico in search of the lost book of the Mayan civilisation, the IX Codex. It is a fast-paced story of loss, loyalty and personal responsibility which is set firmly in the 21st century."
