No, join is a verb.

A direct object must be a noun. While join may be used improperly as a noun, as in "It was difficult to detect the join," it may be used as a direct object, but this is a stretching or obfuscation of grammar rules regarding the parts of speech. This use of a verb as a noun is sometimes referred to as a zero derivation nominalization, and typically results in confusion, frustration, and even irritation for the reader--things a writer typically wants to avoid. The proper form of the verb joinas a noun would be joint or the gerund/verbal noun joining.
