Summary

The Camel Club by best-selling sensation David Baldacci is the exciting first instalment of a breathtaking series.

The man known as Oliver Stone has no official past. He spends most days camped opposite the White House, hoping to expose corruption wherever he finds it. But the stakes are raised when he and his friends, a group of conspiracy theorist misfits known as The Camel Club, accidentally witness the murder of an intelligence analyst. Especially when the authorities are seemingly happy to write it off as a suicide.

For Secret Service agent Alex Ford, monitoring the 'investigation', the suicide verdict doesn't ring true. As punishment for sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, he is reassigned to bodyguard duties. His abilities are tested to the limit when he is sent to protect the President during a visit to his hometown, where a terrorist cell has spent months plotting an event that will shake the world.

Meanwhile, America's powerful intelligence chief Carter Gray is unnerved when he glimpses the face of an old acquaintance in Arlington Cemetery - but it is the face of a man supposedly long dead....

And as The Camel Club is poised to expose a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of Washington's highly secretive corridors of power, Alex Ford finds out that his worst nightmare is about to happen....

The Camel Club is followed by The Collectors, Stone Cold, Divine Justice and Hell's Corner.

camel club

perhaps because I was only getting lots of short listens followed by several relistens, it took a while to grasp the flow.
it did eventually come together. I think I prefer Amos.

Cheesy but enjoyable

After all, sometimes you do just want a big chunk of cheddar, and this one is well enough constructed and written to be enjoyable. I shall listen to more of these next time I’m in the mood for something intriguing and well written, but a bit less literary than my usual fare.

A good read

I enjoyed the book. it was easy to follow but the plot had enough in it to hold my interest. Characters had depth and interest. My only quibble would be with the authors laboured "preachings". I can't go into too much detail without veering into spoiler land. I would recommend this and look forward 2 more escapades of the Camel Club members in future stories

Good conspiracy tale

Some interesting characters and plot direction changes make for an interesting read. I sure Alex Did well develop in character along with the rest of the camel club.

VERY CONVILOUTED

Not my type of thriller. I I really enjoy Baldaccis other books where there is a central Character ; 1 Puller series ,2 Decker & 3 Robie with these you get a good back story and develop empathy with each and the plots twist and turn and books are real page burners.. This conspiracy theory nonsence was tedious and the Camel club just did not. inspire me to. delve further into their characters. e I stoped reading at 20% thankfullyAudible do credit refunds.
ill try his new female detective and take it from there !!

It was alright

Damned by faint praise, it was fine, only fine though not a great story or a great performance.

Not what I expected.

a little tame but listenable. nice to hear in the evenings. Worth a listen for lovers of American suspense.
