Description
"2080:The world is dying. Travel into the future to a time when nothing is certain. Where drought and famine plague an already overpopulated globe and massive waves of refugees stream across the planet, seeking sanctuary. Where terrorist groups have joined forces with biohackers to destroy humanity, developing a deadly bio-engineered disease that marches across the continents like a conquering army, leaving millions dead in its murderous swathe. Meanwhile, some of the best and brightest minds on the planet are feverishly at work - constructing mega-gigantic Space Arks to shuttle hundreds of thousands of people to a colony on Mars. And it seems like there's more good news: world leaders announce that a vaccine is ready – so roll up your sleeves and get on with your lives. It’s all good; it’s all returning to normal. But the truth is very different. In The Flight of the Mayflower, the first novel in The Deneb Chronicles, Dr. Daniel Radu – project manager for NASA’s Space Ark Mayflower – uncovers a global conspiracy of immense proportions. World leaders and the elite are readying themselves for a one-way ticket to Mars, leaving the masses clutching at empty promises. Defiant and unwilling to become another casualty, Daniel cooks up a scheme of his own. Joined by a team of global experts, Daniel and his colleagues brace themselves for a journey of a lifetime as they trek across the galaxy in a quest for survival."
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
-Michel B: "A thoroughly gripping account of how a small group of humans escaping the calamities brought upon by inaction and complacency on the part of Earth's ruling countries deal with the unknown of a new alien world and its own cultural and political dynamics. I especially liked how the author explores and develops how the best of intentions frequently have unintended consequences, all the while keeping you in suspense about the fate of the colonists as they continuously deal with new and terrifying challenges, trying to survive on a new world."
-From David A. "An adventure across the landscape of space, Alien planets and the dilemma of finding civilization for a lost crew. It is a fabulous journey of hope, disappointment and discovery."
-From Bill W. "I started reading the kindle copy and as a Netflix sci-fi fan, I can fully recommend this as something that you should read. Its really compelling reading! I wouldn’t be surprised if Netflix picks this up as a future movie project. If you liked Lost in Space, you’ll love this. It is very exciting storytelling with some good plot twists. I’m looking forward with much anticipation to the next episode in the continuing saga of the series."
-From Chris B "A fast moving and quite plausible plot. Real issue woven skillfully into a captivating Sci Fi story. Can't wait for the next book!"
-From AC "This novel is an interesting space adventure with captivating characters who weave through relationships and difficult scenarios that holds the reader's attention. Highly recommended."

Paul V, Reviewer
This has been out for a while and it's pretty good, so I'm surprised it doesn't have more reviews. It's hard sci-fi and space opera, and the writing is pretty good, the plot is interesting, and I liked most of the characters. Recommended for sci-fi fans.
Thanks very much for the free review copy!!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read The Flight of the Mayflower in exchange for my honest review!
I really liked this book. Anyone who is interested in science fiction would definitely enjoy this book. It was well written and well research. I can’t wait to read the next book. More people should be reading this!
Brian C, Reviewer
As the start of a new series , this one is a good read. There is a little bit of everything here. Action, romance, politics, etc. It is a good book for any sci fi fans and there is a good amount of world building involved.
I was a bit disturbed at a rape scene towards the end of the book, so be warned but otherwise no unnecessary language to speak of.
I will read the next in the series! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

5 stars, 2nd Mayflower
THE FLIGHT OF THE MAYFLOWER by Zanne Ruby
An epic space opera, based in 2080, it's not so hard to imagine by then that humans have completely destroyed planet Earth. Three country confederations have built three arks, the USA one is called the Mayflower. The president and rich people of the area have donated exorbitant amounts of money to build the ark and they are planning on spiriting themselves away before the general population knows what's going on. They didn't count on Dr. Daniel Radu – project manager for NASA’s Space Ark Mayflower uncovering their secrets and he gathers up his own team and they escape the impending doom.
A little mystery, adventure, political intrigue, and the fight for survival are all included in this epic space adventure. Highly recommend it.
