Joe's Trial

Summary: New Author - Great Book
Review: It's obvious that this author is a rookie with regards to editing a manuscript, but the thrilling contents and the moving story overcomes these short comings.

The first two hundred pages establishes the medical and character background necessary to understand the drama. I like detail and Brand unquestionbly supplies it. His character background is so complete that in the last 280 pages I could determine which character was speaking without a name reference. Also, at this point in the book I felt like a resident in hemotology and a "close" friend of the characters.

The drama, intrigue, and suspense in the crescendo made me want to finish the book in one session rather than piece meal. I just didn't want to put this book down. I could feel the bullets flying over my head, the sympathy for the down trodden and the empathy for Dr. Joe. This is truly a great work that I hope more will get to enjoy.

Summary: A Fast-Paced Amalgamation
Review: Joe's Trial is a fast-paced amalgamation of biomedicine, espianoge, religion, current events, and adventure held together by lively characters, a well-timed plot, and enough truth to make the fiction believeable. After a somewhat jumpy start, the novel takes the reader on a wild ride from the Midwest to the Middle East, through the whole gamut of human experiences and emotions. It is a recreational book that makes for compelling reading.
