The Camel Club

By: David Baldacci

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

After witnessing a shocking murder, four conspiracy theorists team up with a Secret Service agent to uncover the government corruption that threatens to cause an international terrorism crisis in this New York Times bestselling thriller.

Welcome to THE CAMEL CLUB.

Existing at the fringes of Washington, D.C., the Club consists of four eccentric members. Led by a mysterious man known as "Oliver Stone," they study conspiracy theories, current events, and the machinations of government to discover the "truth" behind the country's actions. Their efforts bear little fruit--until the group witnesses a shocking murder...and becomes embroiled in an astounding, far-reaching conspiracy. Now the Club must join forces with a Secret Service agent to confront one of the most chilling spectacles ever to take place on American soil-an event that may trigger the ultimate war between two different worlds. And all that stands in the way of this apocalypse is five unexpected heroes.

"Features Baldacci's trademark plot twists and cat-and-mouse chases, as well as a superbly tense grand finale."—Richmond Times-Dispatch

"An original, effervescent thriller . . . page-turning fiction that grips and scares, and offers plenty to think about later."—Toledo Blade (OH)

"Baldacci knows exactly what his readers want-just enough high-tech suspense to while away a few hours in front of a warm winter fire."—Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"Fascinating . . . Baldacci is an author who promises a good story and then delivers it."—Publishers Weekly

"Cleverly constructed . . . If you pick this book up, you'll stick with it all the way."—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The Camel Club

A fascinating read. The way details and plot are slowly revealed throughout the story makes for an compelling story and makes you want to hear it all in one sitting. I could have done without the obvious political propaganda on behalf of the author. He could have communicated his political views without a sledgehammer.

Your squib on the website needs work. It misnames the characters and even the role of the lawyer.

Surprisingly Entertaining!

What did you love best about The Camel Club?

I bought this book because it was on sale even though I don't usually listen to this author - nor do I generally enjoy this genre. I was pleasantly surprised. Excellent story-teller with a lot of plot twist and good character definition. Still a little more 'work' than I like when listening for entertainment value but well worth the effort.

So enjoyable

Excellent. Entertaining. Great narration. Have read the book a few times and now listened to it twice

Baldacci delivers another great book

very good. got very exciting the day of the attack and afterwards. I couldn't stop listening. the only time I had z problem with the narrator was when Carter and Hemmingway were talking together. I loved the characters, very well developed and interesting. I hope to meet them again.

The Camel Club

These comments reference the entire series of The Camel Club, at this writing consisting of five novels. Audiobooks, unabridged, all released by Hachette Audio from 2005 through 2017, lengths from ten to sixteen hours. All novels are narrated by Ron McLarty with the exception of Book 1, narrated by LJ Ganser. Typical Baldacci audiobooks, lots of music, sound effects, solid productions. Although there are no audio issues of note, the McLarty renditions are a cut above. Hell’s Corner narration includes Orlagh Cassidy reading the female voices - a nice touch. No trouble discerning who-says-what-to-who in any book.

Oliver Stone is a great character, a bit quirky, but a stand-up fellow who takes patriotism seriously. Oliver and his small band of close friends find themselves in defense of our country, themselves, and the right side of justice … you’ll enjoy rooting for the gang.

No gratuitous sex scenes, no objectionable language - clean reads.

Super adventures. Enjoy!
