The story is fast paced and punctuated with dry humor. Despite their reluctance to believe Crazy Bill’s strange ramblings, the friends find themselves on a dangerous quest to uncover the truth about Phoenix and save the world from its scheduled destruction in 100 days.
He sends a coded message to Luke and his friends, Jordan and Peter, leading them to a now-abandoned airport and providing clues to a hidden map. The biggest incongruity in this seemingly perfect, invite-only community is Crazy Bill, a homeless man. While the town of Phoenix seems shiny and idyllic, Luke cannot adjust to the lack of cars, roads, Internet, or cell-phone coverage. If you like Michael Grant’s Gone series, then you’ll love The Phoenix Files.Still reeling from his parents’ divorce, Luke resents moving to the Australian outback for his mother’s latest high-powered job.
The Phoenix Files are perfect for those who like mystery, adventure and suspense, or books about secret agencies and the end of the world. Luckily there are 4 books already released (and in the library) of this 6 book series so I can read them all before Fallout gets released next year. You’re left with lots of unanswered questions about Phoenix and the Shackleton Cooperative, but this just makes you want to go and pick up the next book straight away. It grabs you from the very first page and doesn’t let you go until the end. It’s one of those books that you just have to keep reading to find out what happens. However, their meeting at the airport gives them more questions than answers and as they hunt for information about Phoenix and the deadly plans, the more dangerous it becomes for them in the town.Īrrival is the first book in the action-packed, heart-stopping Phoenix Files series. When Luke discovers a note in his backpack inviting them to a secret meeting at the Phoenix Airport, they hope that they’ll get some answers. Someone is plotting to wipe out the human race in 100 days and Phoenix suddenly becomes the safest and most dangerous place on earth. A coded message brings Luke together with Peter and Jordan, and when they decipher the message they realise they’re in serious danger. The town was especially built by the Shackleton Cooperative, the mysterious company that offered Luke’s mum a job, and their security officers roam the streets. All the houses look the same and the only way to get around the town is to walk or bike. There are no cars, no phones and no internet. When Luke and his mum move to the town of Phoenix, out in the middle of nowhere, Luke knows straight away that something isn’t quite right about the place. What would you do if you found out there were only 100 days until the end of the world?
