Invisible City is the first in a five-part action-adventure series for readers who love sci-fi thrills firmly grounded in a contemporary setting. This debut novel launched an author who later went on to work with Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson to develop Gemini Force One. "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.
When his archaeologist father goes missing after an air crash in Mexico, UFO-obsessed Josh suspects alien abduction. He starts a blog to voice his fears and finds like-minded friends.

Praise for The Joshua Files - Invisible City:"A splendid adventure story of UFOs, ancient Mayan documents and a lost city. The hero is eminently likeable, there is a splendid only-you-can-save-the-World denouement and you'll come away with a degree of esoteric knowledge about ancient Central America as well." Louisa Young, 23 March 2008, Mail on Sunday
"A fast-paced, first-person thriller. Her book's Mexico setting is richly evoked, and its historical and conspiracy elements are convincingly delineated." James Lovegrove, 2 Feb 2008, Financial Times
"A gripping survival story begins...a boy's fantasy of pyramids, caves and tunnels. Josh's quest for a long-lost Mayan text giving the key to salvation is bound up with his personal destiny in an unexpected way. But he is also, like all 13-year-olds, uncertain of what the future will bring. Harris cleverly captures this pivotal period." Carole Mansur, 15 March 2008, The Telegraph
"Indiana Jones would have stiff competition in young Joshua Garcia . . . This novel is well written, with the action unfolding at a fast and satisfying clip. This series is destined to be a hit...the many mysteries and unanswered questions will have the reader begging for the rest of the series. Highly Recommended." Library Media Connection, September 2010, starred review"An exciting adventure and coming-of-age story with plot twists and cliffhanger chapter endings that will keep you up all night to finish ." San Jose Mercury News, 2010"MG Harris proves she has a deft touch and a real skill for writing heart-stopping adventure in her code-cracking debut The Joshua Files: Invisible City.

Synopsis: NEBADOR - the incredible journey of five young adults from poverty and oppression to respected citizenship in the wide universe ... Nebador is much more than just an entertaining story.

The Nebador stories contain many wit-sharpening and skill-honing lessons and situations, and the author has provided these questions and comments for any reader who wants to learn as much as possible from the same Muse. Some may be useful to all readers, and others are best tackled by advanced students familiar with psychology, sociology, and politics.

Though he can communicate with his charges in their dreams, he isn't encouraged to do so.

But he can't deny that he feels something for Julia, a lonely girl with fiery red hair and sad dreams. Just weeks ago, her boyfriend died in a car accident, and Eron can tell that she feels more alone than ever. Eron was human once too, many years ago, and he remembers how it felt to lose the one he loved. In the past, Eron has broken rules to protect Julia, but now, when she seems to need him more than ever, he can't reach her. Eron's time as a Sandman is coming to a close, and his replacement doesn't seem to care about his charges. Worse, Julia is facing dangers she doesn't recognize, and Eron, as he transitions back to being human, may be the only one who can save her. . . .
 
Even once they've become human again, Sandmen are forbidden to communicate with their charges. But Eron knows he won't be able to forget Julia. Will he risk everything for a chance to be with the girl he loves?
