On a near-future election eve, aging senior US intelligence officer Jeremiah Jackson is worried. Marriage a shambles, numbing caseload on his desk, and country floundering amid moral crisis and terrorist warfare, it’s Jackson’s job to hold together a disintegrating twenty-first century America. But how? With his sister-in-law mesmerized by a charismatic terrorist leader and evidence mounting daily of American involvement in his plans, Jackson must also consider the goals of industrialist Jonathan Galt. Scion of Ayn Rand’s steelmaker, Galt heads a group with plans for the beautiful but doomed space station, Ad Astra. Amid the shards of his personal life, how is Jackson to keep America from raveling at the seams? Ultimately, with the world in a tail spin toward barbarism, a grand gesture of love points the way for America to rediscover a destiny in which Jackson will play a vital role.

I absolutely loved this novel! How Mr. Becker ties together moral, ethical, religious, family issues together, was genius!! It made myself question my own "Destiny"...Then how he writes about Aerospace technology is so thought provoking....I was truly amazed at this novel and cannot wait for another novel from Mr. Becker!!!

Destiny Restored,
By John J. Burns (Basking Ridge, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Destiny Restored (Paperback)
"Destiny Restored"is a must read for anyone concerned with the preservation and/or the expansion of the freedoms taken for granted by many Americans and citizens of other countries constituting the so called Free World. The uniqeness of the "Destiny Restored"plot, its highly effective presentation and constant turns held my attention at a level where I found it difficult to put the book down when called upon to tend to non reading matters; I simply found that I always wanted to turn the page to see what further surprise was in store . The book reflects the author's broad knowledge of world cultures, political and intelligence systems, the space program,technology,religion, and history which Mr.Becker draws upon extensively to impart a tale most timely in light of recent terrorist events .He does so with the kind of magic common only to imaginative skilled authors."Destiny Restored" caused me to reflect on the potential for humankind to improve its lot and the current constraints it confronts in doing so.It is a first rate easy read, exciting story, power packed with mystery and technical/historical facts that serve to enhance the knowledge of its reader.I was surprised by its conclusion but encouraged by the message it imparted.I anxiously await Mr.Becker's sequel and highly recommend the reading of this book to folks concerned with worldly destiny.
