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.

They cut it

Don't by this because if you want the whole book you are missing out. They cut a lot of the books and it is sad.

Abridged books don’t cut it!

I have previously read all three of the books in this series and really enjoyed them. The characters were wonderful and the plots were twisted enough to be enjoyable and unpredictable. Had I known the series in this collection was an abridgment I would not have purchased it (BUYER BEWARE). I struggled through the Camel Club (which I enjoyed very much in its unabridged form) but was so disappointed with the abridgment that I will not consider listening to the other books in this collection. I did not realize I was purchasing an abridgment. It won’t happen again! I feel so sorry for the author who crafted a full work of art to have it cut into segments and stripped of its depth and nuances. I will be returning the collection. I wish the markings were clearer that the collection was a group of abridgments.

should have paid attention to the description

Baldacci always delivers a good story, complex and unpredictable, but I was disappointed in the abridged versions. Too much of the character development was omitted. The narrative didn't flow smoothly, too choppy for my taste. Still, three for one is a good deal.

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

Intriguing

These three books in one were very interesting. There was something in them for everyone.

Camel Club

David Baldacci, has another hit the reader especially Ron McLarty brings the story to life.I couldn't stop listening to the book kept me awake for hours, never a dull moment. I would highly recommend this book and Ron McLarty.

Stone Cold

David Baldacci keeps you guessing yet again! His characters really come to life and the plot is once again something you can really sink your teeth into! A must read for any Baldacci fan.

What a great series

I didn’t think I would like this, because it was written so long ago, and would lack the modern technical touches, It turns out I need not have worried. It is a great set of stories.
