The Camel Club

David Baldacci

Jacalyn Boggs

I happened to have this in unabridged audio and decided to listen to it as I drove around the VA countryside for way too many miles this month. Let me tell you, it was a fantastic read. Kind of interesting when I'd pass through some of the places mentioned in the book.

I love a good political intrigue story. Growing up in the greater DC area, I love to hear a good conspiracy theory and whatnot. This was definitely an interesting one. I liked the angle the author took where there was not so much a conspiracy as a lesson to be learned by not only America but by the whole world.

I recommend The Camel Club to anyone who likes a well written book. I'm so excited to learn there's a whole series here! I look forward to one day reading more.

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 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. Yet 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 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. 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 are five unexpected heroes.
