Book Description

Sonnet Books January 1, 2000

UNDER THE MIST-SHROUDED WATERS OF A SCOTTISH LOCH, AN IMMORTAL WARRIOR FINDS THE WOMAN OF HIS DREAMS -- AND A LOVE THAT DEFIES THE AGES.

In a stunning debut novel, Pain Binder evokes the Highland mysteries of Loch Ness to create a shimmering love story that crosses the boundaries of time.

Scotland, 1566: The immortal clan MacAlpin has lived for hundreds of years in their ancestral lands beside Loch Ness. When handsome warrior laird Lachlan MacAlpin rescues a woman from the loch's depths, he knows she is the lover that has haunted his dreams -- his one true love foretold by an ancient prophecy.

Amber McPhee, an American vacationing in Scotland, awakens in Urquhart Castle with no recollection of how she got there -- and slowly comes to realize that she has fallen more than four hundred years into the past. She is fascinated by the fierce but gentle Lachlan -- and finds herself quickly entwined in his world and his heart. Their eternal bond has shattered the barriers of time...but can they triumph over a deadly foe with whom Lachlan must do battle? Or will the legend's dark prophecy come true?

About the Author

Pam Binder Lives in Issaquah, Washington, with her husband and three children. Her challenge in writing The Inscription was to depict accurately the role of women in the sixteenth century; she discovered that women, no matter the time period, were as they are today -- inventive, strong of will, and intelligent. She will continue to explore these strengths and themes in her next novel, The Quest, coming soon from Pocket Books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great debut for this fine storyteller, December 22, 1999
This review is from: The Inscription (Sonnet Books) (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1566 Lachlan MacAlpin, noticing a woman drowning, dives into the icy Loch Ness and rescues her. He takes her to his castle in Urquhart where his physician tends to her. Lachlan learns her name is Amber MacPhee, who thinks the reenactment is incredible for its wealth of detail. She worries about how her Aunt Dora must be feeling since Amber, a Seattle teacher, accidentally drove her car into the Loch. However, Amber soon realizes that somehow she has been transported back over four centuries.

To provide Amber protection, Lachlan names her as his betrothed. As the duo starts to know one another, they fall in love. However, he thinks she is the legend who has temporarily come back to help his people fight an ancient enemy before returning to the twentieth century. Assuming that they defeat the evil threatening his clan and if she goes home, Lachlan, being an immortal, knows that the wait to see his love again will seem much more excruciating than four hundred plus years.

THE INSCRIPTION is an intriguing time travel romance that will remind the audience of "The Highlander." The story line is entertaining, but it is the characters that make this a fun novel. The lead couple is a charming pair as late twentieth century feminism battles sixteenth century Scottish machismo. The support cast, especially Lachlan's siblings, add much depth to the tale. Pam Binder will leave her audience spellbound and desiring similar tales starring immortals.

2.0 out of 5 stars A romance that could have had potential..., August 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Inscription (Sonnet Books) (Mass Market Paperback)
I agree this book started out with a great idea for romance and an interesting plot... but just as you would get into an aspect of the plot she was writing it would suddenly stop... as if to leave it with out explanation or appropriate detail... this sometimes made it hard to follow the plot or hold your attention...Lachlan's physical description was lacking although his personal character was not... and the romance end of this really doesn't take off until 2/3rds through the book and when it does it totally surprises you and the moment is brief and lacking in description... so I put that aside to just follow the idea of this plot on immortality... but that too fizzeled out in the end with a far too easy of a closing to what was suppose to be some kind of climax... and the final frustration is in the end she doesn't resolve all the conflicts Amber had with Lachlan about his immortality... I reread the end three times to see if I missed something... and I didn't... the author did....how completely frustrating!

2.0 out of 5 stars Characters Lost Substance on Time Travel Romance!, April 21, 2000

This review is from: The Inscription (Sonnet Books) (Mass Market Paperback)
Story started out with a bang then the characters fell apart and didn't seem to click to my thinking. I did like the relationship of Lachlan to his family and his country people. I'm not sure if I would read this author again.
