The Camel Club


When I first picked up a David Baldacci novel I never knew what to expect. When I was just starting to fall inlove with novels, I was into John Grisham, Robert Ludlum, Tom Clancy, Mario Puzo and the likes, in short – the old masters, so you can forgive me if I tell you I was a little doubtful about David Baldacci. I got my first copy of a Baldacci novel mid 2010, a novel called Simple Genius. I read the novel from cover to cover and, to tell you the truth, I was not impressed. I promised myself not to read any Baldacci novel again.

After a few months, while I was on a book hunting expedition in National Bookstore, I saw this book called The Camel Club, I read through the summary and got curious about the story. So right then and there I broke my promise not to read a Baldacci again, and boy was I delighted. The Camel Club is a must read. I got all four Camel Club novels after that.


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 on 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. But 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 head first 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 is five unexpected heroes.

In The Camel Club, bestselling author David Baldacci goes beyond the traditional boundaries of fiction, painting 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 last war the world may ever fight...
