Book Synopsis

Zack and Zuri are set to embark on the Pegasus for New Eden, an unknown and unexplored planet four light years from Earth. For Zack, four light years isn't nearly far enough from the madness that has been mankind's history. For Zuri, it is a chance to have the family she has so long desired. Pegasus is humanity's greatest invention, a modern day Noah's Ark, set to spread civilization to the stars. But Pegasus has secrets which some will do anything to possess, and Zack and Zuri have yet to discover. A journey to New Eden is an emotional rollercoaster that will take the pair to the depths of despair, launch them beyond heavenly delights, and into the heart and soul of humanity.

Pegasus, the first starship, will take the best that the world has to offer and transplant it on another world. Readers are taken on an emotional rollercoaster as the only two people to escape the escalating madness must wrestle control of the ship from its Artificial Intelligence and restore faith in human dignity. In this work, readers see a future that is just around the corner. Beware, technology advances faster than our knowledge of what to do with it.

Review Quotes

"First of all, I'm impressed with the plot. Re-imagining the essence of Noah's Ark with your own twist is brilliant. The notion that companies became more powerful in the future, the United States of Africa, the futuristic science of the Space Spiders and the space colonies - just to name a few - are very well-thought and brilliant. In brief, the world-building of this book is one of the best I've read this year. I'm particularly impressed with the Forest Deck technology and the Westpac project. Dialogue is sharp so as the characterization."

"For this novel, I like the way James described how space, the ship, Pegasus, the trip to Eden so vividly. The whole plot is well-structured and written. Although there some tense moments such as explosion scenes, disagreements, loss, and fighting for survival. The plot is simple to follow, and the writing style is so easy to understand. There are situations that caught me by surprises. I really like what I have read of this novel."
