Publisher's Summary

The Camel Club exists at the fringes of Washington, D.C., has no power, and consists solely of four eccentric members whom society has forgotten. One man leads this 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 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 they are about to uncover, in...

The Camel Club: 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. It's an event that may well be the catalyst for a long-threatened Armageddon, and all that stands in the way of this apocalypse are these unexpected heroes.

The Collectors: Headquartered in a caretaker's cottage in Mt. Zion Cemetery, Oliver Stone discovers that someone is selling America to its enemies-one classified secret at a time. When Annabelle Conroy, the greatest con artist of her generation, struts onto the scene in high-heeled boots, the Camel Club gets a sexy new edge as the investigation of two chilling murders hurtles them into a world of espionage that threatens to bring America to its knees.

Stone Cold: One by one, men from Stone's shadowy past are turning up dead. To almost all who know him, Harry Finn is a doting father and loving husband who uses his skills behind the scenes to keep our nation safe. But the other face of Harry Finn is that of an unstoppable killer with his sights on Stone. As the Camel Club and Annabelle fight for their lives, the twists and turns whipsaw, leading to a finale that is as explosive as it is shattering.

I will never buy an abridged version again!!!

I had all 3 books in the longer version and LOVED LOVED LOVED them. The price of this collection of the abridged versions was excellent and I thought I could re-listen to one of my favorite characters and save time. NOPE!!
The shorter version lost the core feel of the book. I didn't care as much about my favorite beloved characters. Had I listened to these first I would have stopped at the first book. Not bad but not memorable.

Great stuff... never abridged again.

Balducci is terrific, but should not be abridged. Good value for the money; great stories. Looking forward to book 4

Different Narrator Makes A Difference

I like Baldacci books and really enjoyed this set. But I have to say I would give Stone Cold only 2 or 3 stars out of 5. First problem is that the first two books have the same narrator and the 3rd book changes but it's a continuation of the 2nd book. It was like watching a Sean Connery James Bond marathon but the last movie is Roger Moore. Also the ending of Stone Cold was terrible. I am not aware that I listened to an abridged version but one previous review states that it is. That might make the ending make more sense because it comes out of nowhere. It is also possible that Baldacci didn't write the 3rd book but had a ghost writer which would also explain why it did not flow as well as the 1st and 2nd. It just had a different feel to it. I blamed that on the narration but maybe it was just poorly written. Not sure.

Very good. Narration of the Collector was sub par.

Very good. Narration of the Collector was sub par. The others were very good and worth it.

GOOD BOOKS

It would have been a 5 but the guy reading the 2nd book....AWFUL!! What a shame they didn't use McLarty for all three!!

Camel Club

Very good arrangement of all 3 books. Excellent readers on all 3, also. Very good series.

Sucks you in

Excellent work with exquisite details. The prose was so well put together, I could visually see the scenes in my head.

Enjoyed the box series

Wasn't terribly predictable and kept my interest. Narrator did a good job with different characters. Would definitely recommend.
