Man in the Shadows

The first two books of The Phoenix Files series, Arrival and Contact, come together.

The first two books of The Phoenix Files series, Arrival and Contact, come together. Luke is doing it tough. His parent's have just split up, and his mum has dragged him off to brand-new town in the middle of nowhere: Phoenix. There's something strange about Phoenix though. No cars, no phones and no internet. The only normal part is Peter and his other new friends. Things get even weirder when they discover that someone is plotting to wipe out the human race. Why are the all powerful Shackleton Co-operative after them? Why is Phoenix suddenly the safest place on earth? The clock is ticking. Blurb to be confirmed.

About the Author

Chris Morphew was born in Sydney in 1985. He spent his childhood drawing comic books and writing stories about dinosaurs and time machines. During high school, Chris read a lot of YA science fiction, and his collection of all fifty-four Animorphs books still has pride of place on his bookshelf.

After school, Chris did a short stint as a primary school teacher - definitely the second-best job in the world - and then started writing for kids and young adults.

Chris still lives in Sydney and divides his time between writing and casual teaching. He remains a sci-fi junkie to this day, and believes there is no movie so great that it couldn't be improved with the addition of a spaceship.
