(  ) AdorableArlene | Oct 1, 2009 |  I finished The Collectors last week and since it left you hanging I wanted to see what was next for the Camel Club. Parts of this book I liked: Alex, my favorite character was back and more of a part of this story than he had been in The Collectors; more about Annabelle, the interesting and likable con artist; and some of Oliver's secretive past is explained. There is plenty of action and twists but at times too much killing that is "justified" by main characters. There is also a surprising death but I think that helps to make the story more real. In summary, though not Baldacci's best it is still a page turner and a nice escape for summer reading. (  ) janimar | Jul 17, 2009 | This is the first book I bought for my Kindle and read on the eBook reader. Since goodreads doesn't have an option for eBooks, I just picked the hardback edition for my shelf. (  ) elsi | Jul 15, 2009 | Oliver Stone, et al, and Annabelle Conroy team up to battle Jerry Bagger (Annabelle conned 40 million dollars from him) and Harry Finn who is assassinating people associated with Stone's past. Milton ends up getting killed. ( ) jepeters333 | May 17, 2009 | In this third entry in the Baldacci's Camel Club series, Oliver Stone and the Camel Club members continue to keep their eye on the operations of the government. Annabelle Conroy, an honorary member of the Camel Club and a con artist, is running from the victim of her latest and biggest con and he wants her dead! As Oliver and his friends try to protect Annabelle, Oliver himself becomes a target. Although he doesn't know who is trying to kill him, he realizes it's someone from his past. In this novel, the Camel Club engages in yet another dangerous mission. This time, we learn more about Oliver's past as a former Special Ops agent. For the most part, the book is exciting, but sometimes it drags a little. There are two "main" plots and it's easy to get confused at times. Other than that, it's another great read from Baldacci.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446577391, Hardcover)The #1 bestselling author of The Collectors and Simple Genius returns with STONE COLD...an unforgetable novel of revenge, conspiracy, and murder that brings a band of unlikely heroes face-to-face with their greatest threat.Oliver Stone, the leader of the mysterious group that calls itself the Camel Club, is both feared and respected by those who've crossed his path. Keeping a vigilant watch over our leaders in Washington, D.C., the Camel Club has won over some allies, but it has also earned formidable enemies-including those in power who will do anything to prevent Stone and his friends from uncovering the hidden, secret work of the government. Annabelle Conroy, an honorary member of the Camel Club, is also the greatest con artist of her generation. She has swindled forty million dollars from casino king Jerry Bagger, the man who murdered her mother. Now he's hot on her trail with only one goal in mind: Annabelle's death. But as Stone and the Camel Club circle the wagons to protect Annabelle, a new opponent, who makes Bagger's menace pale by comparison, suddenly arises. One by one, men from Stone's shadowy past are turning up dead. Behind this slaughter stands one man: Harry Finn. To almost all who know him, Finn is a doting father and loving husband who uses his skills behind the scenes to keep our nation safe. But the other face of Harry Finn is that of an unstoppable killer who inevitably sets his lethal bull's-eye on Oliver Stone. And with Finn, Stone may well have met his match. As Annabelle and the Camel Club fight for their lives, the twists and turns whipsaw, leading to a finale that is as explosive as it is shattering. And when buried secrets are at last violently resurrected, the members of the Camel Club left standing will be changed forever. With unrelenting pacing, stunning reversals, and two of the most compelling characters in modern fiction, STONE COLD is David Baldacci writing at his breathtaking best.
