Book Description

25 Jun 2009 Camel Club

Known by his alias, “Oliver Stone,” John Carr is the most wanted man in America. With two pulls of the trigger, the men who hid the truth of Stone’s past and kept him in the shadows were finally silenced.

But Stone’s freedom has come at a steep price; the assassinations he carried out have prompted the highest levels of the United States Government to unleash a massive manhunt. Joe Knox is leading the charge, but his superiors aren’t telling him everything there is to know about his quarry—and their hidden agendas are just as dangerous as the killer he’s trying to catch.

Meanwhile, with their friend and unofficial leader in hiding, the members of the Camel Club must fend for themselves, even as they try to protect him. As Knox closes in, Stone’s flight from the demons of his past will take him far from Washington, D.C., to the coal-mining town of Devine, Virginia—and headlong into a confrontation every bit as lethal as the one he is trying to escape.

Product Description

Review

"In this well-crafted and perfectly executed thriller, Ron McLarty captures the soul of a patriot and the cold competence of a killer.... McLarty's perfect dramatizations of those aiding or threatening Stone make this a superior listen. Even the music between chapters, which foreshadows or punctuates the action, adds to the audio experience." -Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award -- AudioFile Magazine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

By Gail Cooke TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
If you haven't already read a David Baldacci book, can't imagine how you missed him. He's penned fifteen bestsellers four of which feature affecting protagonist John Carr also known as Oliver Stone. Once a CIA assassin Stone now battles mightily to right wrongs. Through this character Baldacci has taken readers to Washington, more often than not shocking them with scenarios that may be too close to the truth.

Stone is back in this the fourth installment in the Camel Club series, and he's once again on the run. "With two early morning pulls of the trigger he'd become the most wanted man in America."

He's too smart to try to board a plane knowing the major airports are alive with those looking for him but instead buys a ticket on the Amtrack Crescent, headed for New Orleans. Once settled in his seat, ever alert, he takes note of his fellow passengers - a mother with a baby, a thin man eating a cheeseburger, and a kid a few years out of high school but still wearing his varsity jacket. "To Stone's eye the young man also had the look of someone who was certain that the world owed him everything and had never bothered paying its bill"

The young man is Danny Riker who is soon assaulted by a trio who accuse him of cheating at cards. Stone rescues Danny and the two leave the train at the next stop. When Stone finds out that Danny is from an Appalachian coal mining town, Divine, Virginia, he decides that might be the perfect place for him to hide out.

Divine might be a good place to take cover but it's also a place where corruption is rampant and most of the coal miners are methadone addicts due to the daily injections they take to pass inspections. Couple this with a suicide that in truth might have been murder, and you have an idea what Stone is up against.

In addition to being a masterful storyteller, an expert at creating riveting suspense, Baldacci is a native of Virginia and lives there today. Thus, he brings an added realism to his descriptions of this area and its people.

Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Baldacci meets Lee Child 21 Nov 2008
By Tweedy
Format:Hardcover
The fourth (and probably the last) in the Camel Club series.
The Camel Club was an interesting diversion for Baldacci, the books started off very light and then got darker as the series progressed. I would not recommend Divine Justice unless you have read the previous novels in the series.
This starts off with our hero John Carr (aka Oliver Stone) on the run having taken out two senior US officials (who were bad guys). A manhunt is underway and Carr is looking for somewhere to disappear when he gets involved in a fracas and ends up in Divine, a small town which is hiding a lot of secrets. Does he keep his head down or does he get involved?
Meanwhile tenacious CIA tracker Joe Knox is on his trail and getting closer, as are Carr's friends from the Camel Club who want to help their friend....
As other reviewers have mentioned much of this did remind me of Lee Child's latest (Nothing To Lose) where his hero Reacher ends up in a small town called Despair which also has many secrets.
This ends up as a hit and miss book, the Joe Knox and Camel Club elements are the most interesting but the stuff in Divine was so similar to Lee Child's latest that it really did jar and the scenario around the bad guys felt too contrived.

5.0 out of 5 stars Praise for Divine Justice (UK reader) 2 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
Just in case you are new to David Baldacci and in particular the Camel Club series (The Camel Club, The Collectors, Stone Cold) this book begins immediately after the end of Stone Cold where John Carr (alias Oliver Stone) is effecting his escape after jumping off a cliff into the Chesapeake Bay.

After killing two top US officials who hid the truth of Stone's past he knows that he will be the subject of a massive manhunt and even as he attempts to make good his escape, Joe Knox is assigned to find him. But it isn't as simple and straightforward as it first sounds.

Stone steps in to save Danny Riker from a beating on a train and they end up in Danny's home town, Divine, an isolated place with plenty of secrets, but even as Stone becomes involved in investigating what is happening in the town, Joe Knox and Stone's Camel Club friends are hot on his trail.

This is a chase story with plenty of twists and turns, and several surprises along the way. It's a pacy, 'what next' thriller that goes along at a cracking pace.

I couldn't put this book down and I don't think it is the end of the Camel Club series from Mr Baldacci. At least I hope it isn't.
