I could not bring myself to finish this book. It was very disorganized and confused.

This book was nothing like I thought it was. I imagined from looking at the front cover that this would be a science fiction novel but really a lot of the stuff in there is happening right now (terrorism attacks, environmental destruction). The science fiction element was limited to the building of an "ark" to send colonists to Alpha Centuri to enhabit another world.
In the end I decided I liked it even though the war stuff really isn't my thing. Will release as part of a challenge I am doing.

February 17, 2010Flight of the Mayflower was very differnt to the standard one character does all 'computer game' thriller novel.
It looked like a guy's novel - so I didn't read it for ages. But it is definatley not gender specific - in fact the characters are appealing to both genders.
The novel is fast paced and informative; loaded with topical events. My boyfriend read it after me in 2 days - a record for him.

Flight of the Mayflower is almost prophetic in its predictions on the future. I've read it three times over the past 4 years and each time the story line corresponds with world events happening at the time.
The book is fast paced and exciting. I read it then passed it around my family (had to end up buying a second copy). Great read! A must read!

Wow! I thought Flight of the Mayflower was going to be just another Tom Clancy knock-off - but right from the start it proved so much more.
Following no formula I've ever read, it was written with refeshing honesty against a back drop of world current events. The technology was also realistic and quite believable. This book is a must read!

Its setup like a series but I can not find any books after this one.
