Beachcombing for a Shipwrecked God

Book Description

Nine weeks after losing her husband, Charlotte escapes to a wooden motor yacht in New Hampshire, where her shipmates are an aging blue-haired widow, an emotional seventeen-year-old, and the ugliest dog in literature. A genuine bond develops among the three women, as their distinct personalities and paths cross and converge against the backdrop of emotional secrets, abuse, and the wages of old age.

Off the boat, Charlotte, an archaeologist, joins a local excavation to uncover an ancient graveyard. Here she can indulge her passion for reconstructing the past, even as she tries to bury her own recent history. She comes to realize, however, that the currents of time are as fluid and persistent as the water that drifts beneath her comforting new home.

Beachcombing for a Shipwrecked God.......2006-11-03

Great story, but contains many grammatical errors. Who is proofreading these books? I teach writing and am shocked at the quality of editing.

Among The Dullest Books I've Ever Read.......2006-03-23

I read this in the spring of 2004 and don't think I've yet recovered. Why does a novel like this merit praise? It has ridiculously unlikable characters, including a flatulent old lady who likes to vandalize the town, a bitchy teenaged single mother with smelly feet, and a woman who in her unmitigated selfishness causes her husband's suicide after she aborts his baby. It had virtually zero plot, it had a dozen missed opportunities for using set-ups that practically fall into the author's lap (witch's graves in a 17th century graveyard??? how cool is that? but what's he do with it? almost nothing!) and it ends with this impossible compromise among its main figures that left me wondering if anyone was buying it. I truly dislike this book, as I guess you can tell.

AN ENTERTAINING PROVACATIVE READ !.......2006-01-23

At first I thought that this book could have only been written by a woman. The author is Joe Coomer, who has also written "The Loop" and other books. It is so inciteful and rich, with descriptions of women and how they think that only a women could know, or perhaps the author, Joe Coomer is an exceptional writer who has loved women greatly. The book reads in the first person (through the eyes of Charlotte, a middle aged widow who is escaping her past by renting a room on a boat where a blue-hair older woman and emotional 17 yr old with their ugly dog live). The book is reflective from its opening sentence: "I came across a love of moving water, an ebbing tide parting on the plumb bow of an old boat, and the sea passing swiftly along the waterline carried bits of seaweed, the body of a dead bird, a dark brown leaf, and a love that seemed necessary to me..." The characters, three women of different ages and personalities, reside together on a boat at Portsmouth Harbor, New Hampshire. Each has their own story to tell and journey to live. I could not put this book down...each page was so very beautifully written. If you have ever lived near the water, each scene is reconstructed in almost poetic form. There is humor in this book, though, the humor that makes the stuggles in life bearable. And there are tears, that pull at your heart. But it is towards the ending of the book, a surprise twist, that makes the reader gasp. It is at that point that the author discloses to the reader the reason for choosing the title "beachcombing for a shipwrecked God." This is a captivating novel and one I have been urging friends to read. It would be a wonderful "book club book". I highly recommend it with 5 BIG stars.

no title.......2005-12-24

Best book I've read since "The Island of the Mighty" and "The Stone Diaries". One of the best books I've read in current fiction (1995). One of those books I don't want to finish. Like good food. So much about memory - how it makes a person. I love the analogy between an archaelogical artifact and a piece of our past, suddenly arising in our brain. Coomer brought all sorts of knowledge in to this book - Portsmouth, N. H., water and boats, archaeology. He has done this. Some of his phraseology is breathtaking. And the secrets two women held onto til the end - Wow! An absorbing story with convincing characters. It was a Great Read. Three women - 75, 28, and 17. And most of the time Chloe at 17 is the wisest. A great movie here with the right actresses. Why hasn't it been done?

three women, one boat.......2005-09-03

If someone had handed me this book and said, it's about three women, each representing a different generation, and they come together to make a nice little family, I would have rolled my eyes. How sitcom. Fortunately, it's a lovely piece of writing and while three women of different backgrounds come to appreciate each other and eventually live together, it's not forced saccharine or knee-jerk comedy.

Each character is vulnerable in a believable way. Charlotte has recently lost her husband, who died after admitting he was ambivalent about their marriage. She tries to keep it together and escape the questions of her in-laws by involving herself in what might be a pointless archeological dig in a small eastcoast town. There she meets artist, Grace, an older woman, followed by Chloe, a young but wise pregnant teenager. Coomer keeps things from getting maudlin by avoiding tidy relationships. The characters don't instantly see each other as salvation and there are always tics to contend with. Charlotte's pain felt very real. Admittedly, Chloe was a bit overly wise, but with the Coomer's touch, it's easy to overlook.

Best of the series!!!.......2006-10-05

This is without a doubt the best book of the series. You are just really hoping that the heroine will wear down our reluctant hero and get her true love to forget about his castle and start thinking about her! Well actually he thinks about her quite a lot...well just read the story it is very good. I read about this hero in Bride of Lachbarr and he was kind of a villian in that one but you know me I love a good bad boy, anyway he does find his redemption in The Lord of Dunkeathe. Love scenes are hot and spicy which is good. So 5 stars for a good intresting story which kept me in it and oh yeah that really handsome guy on the cover ya know come to think of it he is on like all of my romance books, even though is is really hot I mean can't they find like another guy, come on.

Margaret Moore is Historical Romance at its best!,.......2006-09-23

doesn't just write, she weaves a tale that draws you into the story as if you are involved in the lives of her characters. She goes beyond the reader's dreams and makes her characters real people, with real personalities that you can relate to because -- you know someone like that! You cheer when the bad guy doesn't win and the knight in shining armor prevails. I am looking forward to more medieval romances from this author.

Historical Romance at its best!.......2006-06-14

Usually, stories that start with gala balls specifically for the selection of wives is too reminicent of the story of Cinderella for me, and I spend my entire time being sceptical as I read. This novel proved to be different.

Lady Riona was from a good family, but not one of the richest. Her chances of being chosen by the Lord of Dunkeathe were slim in her eyes. Her Uncle Fergus thought differently, and insisted she attend anyway. Despite the odds against her she gives her best without compromising anything.

Ms. Moore weaves an exciting tale full of romance and emotion that will be hard for me to forget. The characters are very much alive and very true to human emotion. This was an amazing read!

Outstanding.......2006-06-01

Lord of Dunkeathe
by Margaret Moore

Reviewer: Pamela Ackerson (author -- Home of the Braves trilogy)

Once in a while I like to pick up Medieval Romances and I believe I have found another favorite author. Margaret Moore doesn't just write, she weaves a tale that draws you into the story as if you are involved in the lives of her characters. She goes beyond the reader's dreams and makes her characters real people, with real personalities that you can relate to because -- you know someone like that! You cheer when the bad guy doesn't win and the knight in shining armor prevails. I am looking forward to more medieval romances from this author.

fine fifteenth century romance .......2005-02-09

In 1240 Scottish King Alexander awards Norman Sir Nicholas with Dunkeathe's Castle for his loyalty. Norman needs a wealthy bride so he announces that he hosts a selection gala. Ten ladies with quite a retinue participate with only one being a Scot, Lady Riona mac Dougen, whose kind Uncle Fergus wants the best for his ward.

Nicholas is attracted to the brave kindhearted Riona and relishes the idea she is Scottish because he needs a ticket to gain friends; however she has no dowry so he knows nothing can come of this. As he observes the women, several are brainless; some are haughty; while a few do not want to wed him. All except perhaps Riona knows the abusive price of failure from their male protector. Only Riona interests him and he her, but both realizes he can not choose an impoverished bride.

LORD OF DUNKEATHE is a fine fifteenth century romance that provides glimpses and hints of how women are less than cattle amidst the aristocracy. Readers will agree with Nicholas that the heroine is so perfect, she must be hiding something. The real rivals lack substance so that no true competition occurs. Still Nicholas is a captivating lead male hunk and Riona a delightful charmer so that fans of the sub-genre will enjoy this solid tale, but wonder what could have been if talented Margaret Moore broke out of the box into more of a historical plight of the female tale.

Training the 'Right Stuff'.......2002-08-21

There are very few sequels that measure up to the quality of the first item, let alone exceed it, but this is one of them. As a direct continuation of the story begun in Heavy Time, we meet Pollard, Dekker, Sal, and Meg again, now involved in the prototype testing of the first of the rider ships that figure prominently in later stories about the Alliance/Union war.

But, like most Cherryh novels, very little happens in a simple, straightforward way. Instead of proper, objective testing, with each test run's results carefully and scientifically analyzed and appropriate changes made, we find ourselves in the middle of a horrendously complicated multi-corner battle between the designing corporations, Senatorial committees, two competing military factions, and near social war between Earth-born test pilots and those raised in the asteroid belt, each of whom is driving their own point of view of how the equipment should be configured and the pilots trained. And just to throw in a further complication, we start the book with Dekker back in the hospital after a disastrous simulator accident which may be no accident at all, but rather attempted murder. But Dekker can't remember how or who put him in the simulator. The problems of the 'Hellburner' itself, of how you handle an attack ship moving at significant fractions of the speed of light, where your targets must be described in terms of probability arcs, of vector changes and millisecond decisions even with major computer help, are fascinating in their own right, an excellent setting around which to weave her plot.

How Cherry resolves all the plot complications is exemplary, and along the way she makes some striking points about bureaucracies, military organizations, graft, political 'influence', leadership qualities and styles, and the beginnings of the ethical morass of the 'azi' clones that she covered so well in Cyteen. Her ending is not telegraphed, and ties up all the loose ends while setting up the situation and people of her later books of this universe. About the only real disappointment was her solution to Dekker's 'accident', as it did not tie directly to any of the major players or points of the novel.

Characterization is very strong. Pollard, only partially developed in Heavy Time, here becomes a real, believable person that is easy to identify with. Lt. Graff (an important player in later stories) is easily recognizable to anyone who has ever served in the military, and even Dekker emerges from amnesiac cipher-hood to become the embodiment of the pilot with the 'right stuff'.

Once again, though, readers unfamiliar with Cherryh's style may have a very rough time getting into this book, with her clipped, abbreviated, and incomplete sentences riddled with abbreviations and alphabet-soup acronyms. For this reason I'd highly recommend reading Heavy Time directly prior to this novel, though it is not absolutely required, as then the reader will start this book with both the background to this story and familiarity with this style.

One of her better books, on par with Downbelow Station, though not quite up to the brilliance of Cyteen, and an excellent introduction to her entire Alliance/Union universe.

She's written so much better..........2000-08-09

"Hellburner" is a direct sequel to "Heavy Time," and I strongly recommend you read "Heavy Time" before starting on "Hellburner"-- the book probably won't make much sense if you don't.

As in "Heavy Time," there are two major questions: Who killed Paul Dekker's friend(s) in an "accident"? Is Dekker himself sane? The accident itself, as in "Heavy Time," occurred off-stage, before the book begins. I have to admit, when I opened the book and found Dekker once again nutty, I thought, "Oh, oh, here we go again..." Luckily, Cherryh dispenses with this faster than she did in the first book, although not perhaps fast enough.

Ben Pollard, whom I found to be remarkably unsympathetic in the first book, is rounded-out in this one, and a lot easier to tolerate. Dekker remains-- annoyingly-- a cipher. The way in which some of the major characters from "Hard Time" were later introduced into the book seemed contrived. Plot-wise, "Hellburner" ends up being pretty unsatisfying. Everything seems to happen in the last few pages, and the final resolution is more of a tease than a resolution. Still, I have read worse.

One of the best SF books I've ever read........1998-08-06

The magic of this book--as with just about all of Cherryh's novels is the development of the characters.

It isn't a book about good vs evil--but rather about what happens when everyday people are caught up in hopeless, dangerous and ludicrous situations.

The reader will almost be able to see the characters in the flesh because they are so believable.

For sf hardware fanatics--they will not be disappointed. Cherry does an excellent job in portrayting believable and realistic weapons and spacecraft.

This is a must read for fans of the Alliance-Union universe. It gives the reader a look at the beginning of the Mazianni. Cherry takes the 'pirates' of "Rimmrunners", "Tripoint", and "Merchanter's Luck"...and puts a human face on them.

Cherryh is unique amongst SF authors.

One of Cherryh's Best.......1998-06-15

Hellburner is one of my favorite Cherryh books, and a rare example of a sequel which is better than the original. If you like subtle humor, great characterization, and a complex plot, you'll enjoy this book If you enjoy anything to do with flying, test pilots, fighter aircraft, and the 'right stuff' you'll love it. But if you're looking for a book with good guys, bad guys and lots of shooting, try something else.

The humor is the best in any of Cherryh's books. I don't often find myself laughing out loud while reading, but I found myself doing so again and again with Hellburner, even on a rereading. Particularly the first few chapters are very, very funny indeed. It's delicate, out-of-your-face humor, though, and I imagine that there are a substantial number of readers who wouldn't find it funny at all.

The plot concerns the development of the rider ships which operate from larger warships in Cherryh's Alliance-Union universe. It's set in the early years of the war, and younger versions of several characters from Downbelow Station appear. Four of the five main characters from Heavy Time are back, and end up as test pilots. Most of the book takes place at a military research establishment on a space station in Earth's solar system. There are vast, complex intrigues and sinister plots, as different factions of the military, the politicians, and the large corporations working on the project try to influence the design of the powerful new ships. There is also a dire mystery to be solved, but as is often the case with Cherryh, the solution is not satisfying. However, the development of the characters, especially that of Ben Pollard, the humor, the powerful verbal clashes, and the satisfyingly consistent complexity make it well worth reading. If you enjoyed Downbelow Station, Tripoint, and Finity's End, try Hellburner.

Blah Blah Blah.......1998-06-08

This is the most boring book I have ever read. For well over one hundred pages I have read nothing but endless military jargon and page filling conversations that go nowehere. There is no action and probably won't be for some time judging by the snail's pace this book has taken so far. I doubt if I'll bother completing this book. Maybe I'll give the author a second chance and read one of the other books such as Cyteen or Downbelow Station, but this book is definitely dry. Maybe I'll keep the book for when I have insomnia.

Product Description

Destroys one of the major barriers for faith seekers: alleged long ages for the earth Provides scientifi c evidences that correlate to biblical history and time-lines Can be used as an apologetic; many shun the faith because of alleged scientifi c facts A sensational answer to old earth critics A powerful book written in plain language This long-awaited book shatters the famed dating methods employed by evolutionists to cast doubt on the veracity of the Bible and its chronology of earth history. Radiometric dating is one of the linchpins of evolutionary education today. By dating the soil in which fossils are found to very long ages, evolutionists undermine faith in Genesis as the true documentary of the history of the universe. When people are told that a dinosaur bone has been determined to be tens of millions of years old, that obviously doesnt square with the biblical record of man being created on day 6 with the land animals. But DeYoung now demonstrates that Christians no longer have to puzzle over this glaring contradiction. A must-have for the serious Bible student, Thousands . . . not Billions will bolster the faith of many.

Faith & Worldview..........2007-10-09

The chief complaint against this book seems to be "...This book is another example of TRUE scientific theory mixed with UNTESTED hypothetical ideas (somewhat like "bait and switch"). The end result is that the author claims to prove his ideas when in fact the untested hypotheses are still untested."

I would say the same for evolutionary theory since TRUE SCIENTIFIC METHODS CANNOT BE APPLIED IN BOTH CASES. No human being was there during creation or evolutionary beginnings to observe the actual event, so we cannot test and observe either hypothesis. To me, the biggest issue here is not which is the more accurate theory. But rather, both positions cannot be solved scientifically and that it takes a measure of FAITH & a healthy dose of WORLDVIEW to believe which ever side you believe. The author of this book casts significant doubt on the VALIDITY of old earth age radioisotope dating methods which he purports to be the "lynchpin" of old earth views.

* The RATE Project tested coal beds throughout North America. They requested & received coal samples from the US Geological Dept. They received coal from the top of the coal bed and the bottom of the coal bed over many sites. You know what they found? The coal samples had the "same" (same within the sample statistics) C14 levels whether it was on the top or bottom.
* Also, they tested diamonds from nearly 100 miles within the earth. And you know what? They also had C14 in them. Diamonds are supposed to be billions of years old, one of the first minerals formed when the earth "evolved" 3.5 billion years ago; yet they have C14 in them. We have NO instrument that can measure C14 levels past 100,000 years.
* They observed that most of known fossils are found within one layer of sediment (which implies a quick, catastrophic event, a.k.a. flood)
* They discuss helium diffusion within zircons. These zircons mean something very important to geologists. And I admit, this was a little over my head since I have not taken the time to study these. But suffice it to say, the amount of helium still in rocks indicates a "younger" earth.
* They discuss all the forms of radioisotope dating and show how worldview "taints" the "scientific" principles that govern them. Also, many assume a steady state of radioactive decay, however, there is compelling evidence that shows the steady state theory is not accurate. That there may have been accelerated decay in the past and it has been slowing down (which I think aligns nicely to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics).

To me, these are the most important issues this book addresses.

Typical example of science mixed with nonscience to confuse the reader........2007-07-18

Do you believe in the scientific "theory" that makes your microwave oven work? How about the scientific "theory" that makes electricity available when you plug in your toaster? How about the scientific "theory" that water is comprised of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. These and ALL theories are ideas that have been tested and tested and NEVER found to be wrong. If you believe that all of these theories are true, why question the theory of carbon dating accepted by ALL PEER REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTATION?

This book is another example of TRUE scientific theory mixed with UNTESTED hypothetical ideas (somewhat like "bait and switch"). The end result is that the author claims to prove his ideas when in fact the untested hypotheses are still untested.

I love God, people and our planet but feel that books like this one prevent us from seeing the entire truth, unfortunately.

These scientists provide evidence in real test results.......2007-03-05

I've read thousands of books to try to keep up to date - and this book has got to be one of my favorite books of all. The book summarizes eight years of research by a team of scientists. Not only does the book provide the results of radioisotope dating tests, but it explains the process as well as what the results mean. This book found the perfect balance to being readable yet precise and detailed. It also refers the readers to two other books that are much more detailed regarding the radioisotope dating discused in the book.

The book explains about some of the radioisotope methods in use, such as:

* Carbon-14 dating
* Potassium-Argon
* Rubidium-Strontium
* Lead-Lead
* Samarium-Neodymium

The book also explains both alpha decay and beta decay, and why it matters.

This team of scientists not only reference published dating test results but also did their own dating tests utilizing multiple state-of-the-art commercial radioisotope dating laboratories.

The book also explains a vitally important concept: Iscochrons
(Isochrons are utilized today in almost every radioisotope dating experiment)

Ini order to give an age estimate for a rock using radioisotope dating, there are several assumptions that are made ... three fundamental assumptions are:

1) the initial conditions of the sample are known accurately
2) we can tell whether or not the rock has exchanged atoms with the surroundings during its history
3) the nuclear decay rate or half-life of the parent isotope has remained constant since the rock was formed. (isochron methods are not sensitive to testing the correctness of this assumption)

The book presents the evidence of the results of careful testing that you can analyze on your own. However, the team of scientists also provide their summary of what the results show and provide possible explanations as to what they mean and what could account for the evidence.

Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in finding out just how radioisotope dating is done and in reviewing evidence from a variety of tests performed recently. It provides scientific evidence gathered by a team of scientists presented in an easy to read format with tables, charts and figures.

That guy below me is an idiot..............2006-09-07

I don't think he read the book, honestly. There are MANY intriguing issues that are brought up in this book by SCIENTIFIC, PHYSICAL EVIDENCE. If you think that evolution has all the answers in the bag, think again. Why is Carbon-14 found inside of diamonds? Diamonds are supposedly 3.3 billion years old. Carbon-14 has a half life of 5,700 years. Do the math. It is beyond me to figure out how this is not physical evidence. Why is there Helium in Zircon crystals when it should have dissipated a very long time ago? It seems to me like some people don't even read the book, that they just have a chip on their shoulder and feel it is nessecary to TRY and belittle the work these SCIENTISTS have done. Even if you are against Creationism this is still a good scientific book to dive into. The book even admits that there are many problems yet to be solved. I look foward to further research in these fields.

Billions not Thousands.......2006-08-26

Apologetics is a branch of theology devoted to defending the divine origin and authority of Christianity. Religions base absolute and immutable "truth claims" on special revelation and divine authority - none of which is observable, empirical, or measurable. The resulting beliefs and dogmas are essentially divorced from the laws of reason. Faith alone is required. Faith, in the religious sense, can never be falsified, it can only be abandoned.

Science is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena and acquiring new knowledge, as well as for correcting and integrating previous knowledge. It is based on observable, empirical, measurable evidence, and subject to the laws of reason. Scientific facts (along with hypothesis and theories) are always provisional and subject to scrutiny as new information becomes available.

The differences between these two disciplines explains why this book is such a mess.

Faith has informed the author that the Earth is only a few thousand years old. All the scientific evidence argues for an Earth that is several billion years old. How does he pound this square peg into a round hole? The same way creationists always do - invoke sophistry under the guise of apologetics, dispense with reason, ignore mountains of objective and verifiable evidence, invent evil "Darwinian" bogeymen, and dress up the result (in drag) with a seemingly impressive veneer of scientific sounding techno-babble.

The painfully contrived "evidence" referenced in this book is a rehash of erroneous hypothesis and junk findings wished into existence by the RATE (Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth) group - a collective of various crank-science Young Earth Creationists whose shallow litany of fallacious non-peer reviewed arguments includes: Helium diffusion in zircon crystals, C14 in coal and diamonds, and my personal favorite - Polonium halos. Although this drivel occasionally hoodwinks unwary reviewers (you know who you are - and yes I read the book), the scientific community at large remains unimpressed.

Does the "science" in this book justify overturning two hundred years of spectacular advances in cosmology, astronomy, physics, geology, paleontology, chemistry, and biology? Absolutely not! There is no science in this book - only an apologetics fueled diatribe based on fallacious arguments from authority, fundamentalist dogma, and an odiferous pile of crank creationist pseudo-science courtesy of the RATE group. An uneasy faith conjured this book into existence, not science.

Ultimately this mendacious and tedious tome fails to justify a medieval hocus-pocus worldview based on the author's cherished set of bronze-age myths and fables.

If you are interested in how old the Earth really is (approximately 4.54 billion years), and the multiple lines of scientific evidence that support this conclusion, try Ancient Earth, Ancient Skies: The Age of Earth and its Cosmic Surroundings or The Age of Earth by G. Brent Dalrymple.
