Man in the Shadows

The first two books in The Phoenix Files series, Arrival and Contact, come together in this dramatic start to the end of the world. As soon as Luke touches down in Phoenix, he knows that something's not right. The brand-new town is supposed to be a paradise, but it's not long before the cracks begin to show: malfunctioning phone lines, restrictions on car use, and a private security detail instead of a police force. Then Luke, Peter and Jordan uncover the true reason for the town's existence - a secret that means Phoenix is suddenly both the safest and most dangerous place on Earth. Someone in Phoenix is plotting to wipe out the human race. And the clock is already ticking.Author BiographyChris Morphew was born in Sydney in 1985. His experiences as a qualified primary school teacher, combined with his own formative high school years, have resulted in unintentional invaluable research for his writing. Chris is one of the most popular pseudonym authors behind the multi-million-selling Zac Power series. His fan base continued to grow with each subsequent release of his best-selling six-part YA series, The Phoenix Files. Man in the Shadows is the first of the three re-released volumes of The Phoenix Files. Blood in the Ashes, the second in this edge-of-your-seat trilogy, is available in 2015. Life in the Flames is the trilogy's explosive finale (available 2016). Chris still lives in Sydney and continues to divide his time between writing and casual teaching.
