From Publishers Weekly

If anyone can make terrorism entertaining and ironically exciting, it's thriller vet Baldacci. New York stage actor Davis helps to brighten up a bleak subject with almost perfect pitch (his female characters' voices are often disconcertingly lodged in the baritone range), as he brings to audio life the adventures of a gang of four Muslim men who live in the Washington, D.C., area and meet regularly in isolated places to discuss and argue about international politics. Led by a likable chap who calls himself "Oliver Stone" because he and the film director share a supersized fascination with conspiracies, the Camel Club is basically an excuse for its members to feel involved and important. But when they accidentally witness a real high-level conspiracy in action, the four are suddenly at the center of a world class disaster which could lead to an American nuclear attack on Damascus. Baldacci works hard to balance all his many characters and their connecting stories, and Davis holds up his end with clever, sharp-edged subtlety that helps listeners stay in the picture.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Novel, Unexpected Thriller That Satirizes Politics and Government, Juil 15 2006
This review is from: The Camel Club (Hardcover)
The Camel Club is not your ordinary thriller . . . or your ordinary David Baldacci novel. If you simply want the tried and true formula put together in the usual way, avoid this book. If you want to expand your vision to see the silliness of politics and government as practiced now, The Camel Club will be your favorite thriller of 2005.

The Camel Club takes the patriotic outsider's view of citizenship. As the Founding Fathers said so often, a government is as strong as its citizens' willingness to be intelligently active.

The Camel Club is made up of four unlikely candidates for improving government. Oliver Stone, a made-up name, is a cemetery caretaker by day who protests across from the White House at night. Caleb Shaw is a bibliophile who dresses like a 19th century salesman. Reuben Rhodes is a veteran who did some spying who's down on his luck, but is still a powerful hulk of a man at sixty. Milton Farb is a genius who has obsessive-compulsive disorder which makes him quite unusual to be around. They meet to find ways to track government wrongs and right them.

As the book opens, the Camel Club members find their meeting is intruded upon by two thugs murdering someone . . . and making it look like suicide. It's a scene reminiscent of the Vince Foster death. The thugs spot the Camel Club and gun shots are fired.

In a parallel thread, veteran Secret Service agent Alex Ford finds himself attracted to a lovely, young bartender who is a DOJ attorney by day. To his surprise, she asks him out.

In his day job, Ford finds himself partnered with an annoying rookie with friends in high places. By a weird coincidence, Ford is assigned to investigate the death the Camel Club observed.

In the background, someone is preparing the granddaddy of all terrorist attacks on U.S. government officials.

As the story develops, you follow many different characters as narrators and plot threads until they all overlap in the book's second half.

By the time you are done, you'll have a different perspective on how terrorism can attract attention and influence behavior.

I liked this book very much. I found several characters to be appealing and interesting. That sympathy made the story work much better for me. By contrast, in most thrillers the characters are barely made out of cardboard (comic book paper would be a better description). Baldacci takes the time to develop several characters into reasonably identifiable human beings. The plot relies on your sense of the characters as well as an intricate imagination to provide a lot of interesting surprises. It's only in the last few pages that the book seems to settle down into the comfortable old formula. One sequence there reminded me of the end of The Man with the Golden Gun.

Beyond that, the book is very funny. Baldacci knows how to make government pretensions seem to be about as ridiculous as possible. At times I felt like I was reading a Jon Stewart script.

Baldacci has also written a book that is very easy to visualize. I found myself running a movie in my head as the action developed. This will be a great film!

As I finished the book, I found myself hoping that there will be more Camel Club books in the future. These characters can go the distance to support a very entertaining and satirical look at government lunacy.

Well done, David Baldacci!

(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Camel Club (Paperback)
The plot has lots of twist and turns, very intriguing and compelling. This thriller makes high-level conspiracy entertaining and exciting but the story is totally unbelievable. I enjoyed it just the same

3.0étoiles sur 5 Good but to much useless history, Aoû 6 2009
This review is from: The Camel Club (Mass Market Paperback)
First I like the camel club characters. All four are lovely,funny and entertaining people. My beef with this book is the history and ethnic lesson, although I love reading this information I fond it useless in the story line. It was very actual in time which make the book more realistic. It's a good summer book. I wouldn't write home about it.
