Quotes

  • “Entertaining …Baldacci wisely tones down the wackiness of the club members, focusing instead on bringing Seagraves to justice while Annabelle works her ingenious scam.”

    - Publishers Weekly

  • “Helped by a beautiful grifter, the ‘Camel Club’—the four-man band of conspiracy theorists—returns to battle a threat to national security. Annabelle Conroy is con-artist extraordinaire…Seagraves and the Camel Club are engaged in a cat-and-mouse game, and Annabelle Conroy is the special guest star.”

    - Kirkus Reviews

  • “Baldacci delivers crisp, economical prose and a cast of spies, misfits, and assassins that would make even the most patriotic citizen question the American political system. The best of the characters include gorgeous, gutsy newcomer Annabelle and the wonderfully idiosyncratic Oliver Stone.”

    - Booklist

  • “The multivoiced narration provides needed definition for many of the characters…Aimee Jolson depicts a smooth and confident Conroy, while L. J. Ganser and Richard Mover cover the male characters and the narration…[in this] fast-moving plot.”

    " This is a really good story -- and the characters become very real. As usual, Mr Baldacci keeps you on your toes with the fast moving story and you worry about these people as the plot thickens. I really enjoyed the readers - as their voices completed the look of the characters. I believe this book is well worth the money. It was a pleasure to listen. "

    " This book seemed to stand on its own, without reading "Camel Club, #1, which I haven't read yet; however, there is an obvious sequel to this one which I will find and read soon. This was another interesting tale with lots of good guys AND bad guys, as well as the typical twists and turns of a Baldacci novel. "

    " it was ok. well, better than the first one at least, but not by much. better in the sense that i didn't have to shell out $20 or $30 for a copy. i instead grabbed a public library edition. "

    " I just love David Baldacci. I think he is my guilty pleasure when it comes to books. He does such a wonderful job of character development and plot timing. The first part of this book, I was trying and trying to figure out how the two seemingly disconnected stories were going to tie together, and then BAM. Never saw it coming. The Camel Club is an organization of disenfranchised former (and current) government employees who always seem to be in the thick of things and have a unique combination of skills that help them stay alive while solving dangerous crimes. This is the second installment of their adventures, and I just love every minute of it. Of course, I have to now read the next one to see how the cliffhanger on this one unfolds! I also love Baldacci's pacing (although it has cost me many a late night). His chapters are 3-10 pages, so it is very easy to say, "Well, I'll read just one more!" A great read for anyone who enjoys interesting thrillers with a historical/governmental context and flavor. After reading this, I want to go to the Library of Congress reading room and peruse a book!

    " Quick read. Not the best story. Three different strands, one of which made no sense and didn't really have a place in the book. Overworked characters and plot. Nothing thrilling or new. "

    " Good book. These Camel Club series really wakes ones eyes up to the amount of information the government has on us.
