England, Holland and North America from 1607. The enthralling adventure of the pilgrims’ journey on The Mayflower and beyond! A new life awaits beyond the horizon.1607. The English Separatists seek only the right to be allowed to worship in their own way in their humble North Nottinghamshire village, but their beliefs are anathema to King James.

When they are given cause to believe that their clandestine meetings have come to the notice of the authorities they move to Gainsborough with a view to taking ship to the Low Countries. But after they find themselves betrayed, they escape to the comparative safety of Holland, though even there they are in danger of persecution. So in one final throw of the dice they sign up to be members of a ‘settler’ community financed by merchant adventurers. But to start their new life they must survive the perilous crossing on The Mayflower.
