| | STORY DESCRIPTION The incredible steamship named Titanic sank on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic on April 15, 1912, and books have been written and movies produced about this tragic steamship disaster. Troy Veenstra has written "Titanic: Echo of the Dying Confession" which covers the Titanic's demise but with a different slant. In journal format, the narrator of this chilling version tells of how he sought revenge for his father's tragic loss of his ownership of the famed White Star Lines when the White Star board sells the shipping line to American millionaire J.P. Morgan. The narrator is angered, incensed that his father, whom he worshiped, is treated badly by business associates and the building of the super steamships, the Olympic, the Titanic, and the Gigantic are to be built. The rest is well-known history.
"Titanic: Echo of the Dying Confession" is a unique work of fiction about the Titanic. Using italics to convey conversation, the author has the narrator transcribing his thoughts as he is dying. Once young, the narrator is now an old and grieving man as he sits on his ocean-side estate and gazes upon the Atlantic Ocean which he refers to as a "massive rolling grave site". He thinks of the revenge he sought and the pain it caused those who perished. This journal is long, descriptive and very Victorian, as befits the memories of a gentleman born in 1856. On page 199, the narrator says that his memoirs as contained in this story are "the longest confession of one man's transgressions ever written upon paper." But the writing is just how a man of those times would express himself, and the characters of both fictional and real people of the Titanic are true to the times and to history. Titanic fans and most of the others will love reading "Titanic: Echo of the Dying Confession."

www.veenstrapublishing.biz Visit the author website at:http://www.veenstrapublishing.biz External Reviews Titanic: Echo of a Dying Confession is an great retelling of history through the lens of good versus evil. It's also a story that speaks to the soul. Readers should catch a glimpse of the things which motivate them during their lifetime such as the way they view other people. Written as a journal, this novel shows the motivations for the actions of the man who, in the alternative to history, caused the sinking of the Titanic. Although the man's name is never mentioned, the character development is such that there are times you hate the man and other times you feel sorry for him despite what he's done. The wording reminds me of the writing of Edgar Allen Poe, while the story itself is similar to Paradise Lost / Paradise Regained.
As an author, I was slightly distracted by the misuse of some words and formatting breaks, but over-all these do not take away from the telling of the story. As I got toward the end of the book, I thought about the way the book is written and came to the conclusion that the mistakes actually add something to the book. Written as one man's confession written in a journal, the mistakes hint at an old man who is on the verge of death and writing quickly to get his thoughts on paper before death.
This is an excellent novel by a first time author. -
(Sheila Rae Myers, Author )
With accuracy and a readable style of writing that captures the Victorian/Edwardian manner of speaking, Troy Veenstra has retold the story of the steamship Titanic's sinking. "Titanic: Echo of the Dying Confession" tells of the English narrator's anger against Americans for taking over his father's failing shipline and how that anger turns to revenge as in his fury, he sells his soul to the Devil. That the narrator has to witness and then regret the horrors of his demands makes this a highly recommended Christian novel without the platitudes and preaching dialogue that often revolts readers.
(Alice M. Dinizo "J.B. DiNizo" (Toms River, New Jersey)
An awesome book. Does a great job of sticking to historically accurate details while at the same time creating a fresh and interesting fictional perspective on one of the most fascinating events of the twentieth century. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about the great ship Titanic.
(John Amazon Review)
