Publisher's summary

It exists at the fringes of Washington, D.C., has no power, and consists solely of four eccentric and downtrodden members whom society has forgotten. Their simple goal is to find the "truth" behind their country's actions.

One man leads this aging, ragtag crew. He has no known past and has taken the name "Oliver Stone". Day and night, Stone and his friends study wild conspiracy theories, current events, and the machinations of government, hoping to discover some truth that will hold America's leaders accountable to its citizens. Yet never in Stone's wildest nightmares could he imagine the conspiracy the Camel Club is about to uncover.

After witnessing a shocking murder, the Club is slammed headfirst into a plot that threatens the very security of the nation, full of stunning twists, high-stakes intrigue, and global gamesmanship rocketing to the Oval Office and beyond. Soon the Club must join forces with veteran Secret Service agent Alex Ford, who becomes an unwilling participant in one of the most chilling spectacles to ever take place on American soil. It's an event that may well be the catalyst for the long-threatened Armageddon between two different worlds, and all that stands in the way of this apocalypse are five unexpected heroes.

In The Camel Club, best-selling author David Baldacci paints a frighteningly vivid portrait of a world that could be our own very soon, and the few people who have a chance to stop the chaos.

Critic reviews

"As fans of this writer know, years of experience have made him an author who promises a good story and then delivers it." (Publishers Weekly)

Slow start

This story was a bit of a slow starter. At least the first half I had to push myself to keep going. Once the action started to pick up it was easier to stay engaged, but it's still not great.

Expecting more!

I purchased the hard copy of this book some time ago & knew no matter when I read it, that it would be worth the wait. Now that I've read it, I must say that for me it left much to be desired. Compared to the Puller Series, I was somewhat disappointed. Because this is a series, I will endeavor to get the rest of this series on Audible, but I am hoping that it progresses in the storyline.

great adventure . poor presentation

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

good story interesting characters

What did you like best about this story?

The Camel club characters and their supporters

How could the performance have been better?

I found the music between chapters very distractive . There seemed to a very large number of chapters ( over 30 ) that did not play well on my I pod .WHen I moved back or forward in the story the Ipod would move 3 or 4 chapters at a time . I have never had this happen be fore or since .

Was The Camel Club worth the listening time?

it was a break even for me . The great story was off set by the music and the excessive chapters not playing well

Great Read-another great Baldacci!

This book sets the stage for all the Camel Club books. I would definetly like to see more Camel Club books.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. I listen in my car during my 35 to 55 minutes commute to work and same time frame from work.

Interesting plot

As the characters develop the plot is brought together to a smashing conclusion. Very good in capturing attention.

The Camel Club

Wonderful. Especially for a long trip. The story keeps you alert and trying to work through the plot in your mind without getting bogged down.
Anyone who likes mystery will enjoy it.

A Fun Ride

An enjoyable (if unusual) group of people cobbled together to save the world. Just don’t expect too much real life. Like a trip to the amusement park when you are still young enough to enjoy it.

My Favorite Baldacci Book!

This is my favorite David Baldacci book! There's rarely a dull moment in this book. Action packed throughout and just when you think it can't get any better, it does!
