Summary: Compelling Concept, Timely Message
Review: I normally wouldn't read a book about genetics but I could not put down Destiny's Hand! The characters are compelling and the story is well researched. In addition to being totally entertained, I found the storyline to be intellectually stimulating. Terrific book!

Review: I would put this book at the Ludlum,Higgins, Jr. and to a degree Clancy level. For a first effort I am very impressed. If Mr. Driessens talent grows from here, The world of Fiction, both scifact/fiction as well as the spy/thriller genre will be greatly enriched. Joe's character creation although a little rocky at first comes into it's own as the story begins to take shape. His very clear and descriptive writing almost has you seeing feeling & tasting what the characters are. All this while writing a chillingly believable story. I personally will never look at a prodigy in the same way again. This is your first efoort Mr Driessen? BRAVO!

Review: Joe Driessen is a master of dialog. The characters speak clearly and loudly so the story just rolls along. Anyone who likes science, mystery, adventure, romance, technology, music, great characters, and/or spirituality will love this good, solid read. It's sure to be a movie soon. I can't wait for the sequel.

Review: While human cloning, biotechnology, and genetic engineering capture headlines along with the world's imagination, there's little beyond what you see in the press that puts a truly human face on the Question of Human Cloning. That's why this book is so intriguing, and its concept so rich. Here we have Clancy- and Grisham-level dialog, along with a raging plot that keeps the reader on the edge of her easy chair...combined with one of the greatest stories in our history: cloning...and what it can (will?) do to us as a species. Highly recommended, for science and non-science types alike.
