Synopsis
* 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 and 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 and expectation. Men and women readied themselves for war, pestilence or divine retribution. Against this background, and amid deep economic depression, the Pilgrims conceived their enterprise of exile.
* Within a decade, despite crisis and catastrophe, they built a thriving settlement at New Plymouth, based on beaver fur, corn and cattle. In doing so, they laid the foundations for Massachusetts, New England and a new nation.
* Using a wealth of new evidence - from landscape, archaeology and hundreds of overlooked or neglected documents - Nick Bunker gives a vivid and strikingly original account of the Mayflower project and the first decade of the Plymouth Colony. From mercantile London and the rural England of Queen Elizabeth and King James to the mountains and rivers of Maine, he weaves a rich narrative which combines religion, politics, money, science and 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 and village strife at home to their final creation of a permanent foothold in America.

Review
An imaginative and archivally rich evocation of the Mayflower pilgrims and of the lands they invaded (Linda Colley)
In this beautifully written and imagined book, impeccably researched, and full of so many fresh insights and discoveries, Nick Bunker has given us the most grounded and convincing portrait yet achieved of what drove the Pilgrim Fathers to seek their faith and fortune in the New World (Michael Wood)
I have rarely read a book which combines such a breadth of canvas...with such penetrating and detailed research (Patrick Collinson, Regius Professor Of Modern History, Cambridge University)
A lively, indeed passionate, retelling of the 'Pilgrim' story, full of surprises as Nick Bunker delves into the byways of how the voyage of 1620 came to be and how the pilgrims managed to survive. A terrific read
(David D. Hall, Harvard University)
His spirit, zeal and flair put most historians of his subject to shame' (Felipe Fernandez-Armesto Times)
