Code Name: Camelot

Noah Wolf, Book 1

De: David Archer

Narrado por: Adam Verner

Framed for crimes he did not commit, he is sentenced to death by his own country....

Noah Wolf is quickly becoming one of the top names in the world of espionage. With well over one million copies sold and thousands of five-star reviews, this perennial USA Today best-selling series will be sure to keep your heart pounding well into the night.

After witnessing the murder-suicide of his parents as a child, Noah suffers from a form of PTSD that has left him without emotion, without a conscience, and without the ability to function as a normal human being. With the help of childhood friends, he learns to watch others around him and mimic their behaviors, in order to conceal the fact that his mind operates more like a computer that he has spent years programming. That program is what allows Noah to pass himself off as normal, by establishing parameters of right and wrong that are completely inviolable to him.

As a young adult, Noah finds structure in the US Army, and becomes an excellent and exemplary soldier, but when his self-imposed programming is put to the test by the murderous acts of the superior officer, Noah finds himself quickly made expendable, charged with crimes he did not commit and facing the possibility of execution. Without any reasonable hope for a reprieve, Noah's logic-based mind accepts his fate.

Sometimes, though, things are not all as they seem to be, and Noah is offered one chance to save himself. It was his disability, his lack of emotion, that made him the soldier he had become. Now, an ultra-secret organization known as E&E wants Noah's talents, offering him a chance to survive...as the most deadly assassin the world has ever known.

New Narrator

This may have been a good book but the performance was one of if not the worst I have heard. This is saying something as I have 300+ books in my library.
I was looking forward to others in the series but will not be buying another.
I am not going to give up on the author and already purchased another from his other series...hope springs eternal.
I will let you know😀

Interesting

The pace of the narration was too slow but was able to remedy that. Interesting premise. Likable characters.

Great Performance of a Great Book

I am glad I took a chance on a new author and an unknown reader. Tha story was Excellent, the author did an excellent job of taking an old story line and breathing new life in to it. Characters that would have been lifeless in the hands of a less skilled author were given skills, purpose and a cause then set on a path where right is never sacrificed for success.
The performer gave the story's characters life and his audio portrayal of the nuances if the many facets of the story was never dull or lifeless.
My thanks to both the author and the performer for making this audio book an unexpected treat!

Not many surprises but interesting.

Interesting story with only a few twists that aren't too predictable. Characters seemed realistic and engaging, especially the main character "Noah", who was not quite as 'odd' as advertised. Would definitely recommend as an easy read that doesn't require much thought. Narrator was good.

I bit slow but good overall.

I got the book for free and added audible to it for $0.99, the book is a bit slow for my liking but good enough I bought the rest of the series. I read fast so audible is super slow in comparison so I'm glad I don't pay for it.

excellent book

Great book. Didn't want to put it down even at 3 in the morning.

Great fun! "Mission Impossible' style thriller

Code Name: Camelot is an absolute must listen espionage thriller. Noah Wolf is a man without human feelings who has been saved from a death sentence he received by court martial. He was innocent but a member of Congress wanted him dead. The woman who saved him is the leader of a US assassination agency which is so secret that only the US president is aware of it. Noah Wolf is assigned a 3 person team to help him. The name of the team is Camelot. Noah Wolf does not have human feelings but he understands them in him coldly logical way.

For those that liked the Sam Prichard series by David Archer (I reviewed 7 of the 8 audiobooks in the wonderful series here at Audible)) the Noah Wolf series is even better. The Kindle ebook version of Code Name:Camelot was released in January while the audiobook version was released on May 4. I could not wait so I had to read the Kindle version when it was released. The audiobook does not disappoint. Narration is very, very good.

I very strongly recommend this fun espionage thriller. David Archer demonstrates that a great espionage thriller can be written without even a single case of foul language. That must be a first! (I have no objection whatever to foul language.)

Nice action story, but the ending... aargh!

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

For action fans, perhaps, everybody else: no.

If you’ve listened to books by David Archer before, how does this one compare?

n/a

What about Adam Verner’s performance did you like?

Very good narration.

Could you see Code Name: Camelot being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No.

Any additional comments?

For a long while, I quite enjoyed this book. Being a fan Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, I could see some resemblance and some traits I liked in this story.
Noah ends up on death row after killing a whole group of his fellow soldiers in Iraq. While his defense was dismissed by his superiors and the judge at the court marshall, other people saw it differently and he was extracted for a special team.
The story plots along and it is reasonably interesting but it seemed like the author wasn't sure which direction he was heading and if he did, he just seemed to leave a lot of loose ends hanging about.
Nevertheless, once the final pages of the book came around, I got profoundly annoyed, it was simply a little too happy, too wonderful, too convenient.

interesting characters, not much action

The book was well written and performed, but there wasn't a lot going on. but if you look at it as an origin story, that's ok.

Interesting Premise

This was an enjoyable listen, even if the story was a bit too smooth. Hopefully the next one in the series will have at least one slight twist or turn. I did find the idea of a condition where someone has no emotional feelings but still maintains an understanding of right and wrong, a unique perspective, enough so that I am going to keep on with the series.
