Michael Young is convinced his brilliant history thesis will win him a doctorate, a pleasant academic post, a venerable academic publisher & his beloved girlfriend Jane. A historian should know better than to imagine that he can predict the future. Leo Zuckerman is an ageing physicist obsessed with the darkest period in human history, utterly driven by his fanatical hatred of one man. A lover's childish revenge & the breaking of a rotten clasp cause the two men to meet in a blizzard of swirling pages. Pages of history. When they come together nothing
- past, present or future
- will ever be the same again.

Product Description

* At the end of 1618, a blazing green star soared across the night sky over the Northern Hemisphere. From the Philippines to the Great Lakes, the comet became a sensation & a symbol, a warning of doom or a promise of salvation.

* Two years later, as the Pilgrims prepared to sail across the Atlantic on board the Mayflower, the atmosphere remained charged with fear & expectation. Men & women readied themselves for war, pestilence or divine retribution. Against this background, & amid deep economic depression, the Pilgrims conceived their enterprise of exile.

* Within a decade, despite crisis & catastrophe, they built a thriving settlement at New Plymouth, based on beaver fur, corn & cattle. In doing so, they laid the foundations for Massachusetts, New England & a new nation.

* Using a wealth of new evidence - from landscape, archaeology & hundreds of overlooked or neglected documents
- Nick Bunker gives a vivid & strikingly original account of the Mayflower project & the first decade of the Plymouth Colony. From mercantile London & the rural England of Queen Elizabeth & King James to the mountains & rivers of Maine, he weaves a rich narrative which combines religion, politics, money, science & the sea.

* The Pilgrims were entrepreneurs as well as evangelicals, political radicals as well as Christian idealists. Making Haste from Babylon tells their story in unrivalled depth, from their roots in religious conflict & village strife at home to their final creation of a permanent foothold in America.
