This one was different and it took me a little time to get into it. I wasn't sure I really liked the main character Oliver Stone but I did like the Secret Service agent Alex so I kept reading. It is based on conspiracy theories and at times it seems far-fetched but I was intrigued and soon couldn't put it down. As the book ends you understand and like Stone and Baldacci sets it up for new stories for The Camel Club which I plan on reading. Little hard to get into at first with all the unusual names, but quickly becomes intriguing. Great read. It exists at the fringes of Washington, DC, has no power, and consists solely of four eccentric 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 cold he imagine the conspiracy the Camel Club is about to uncover. 0.048 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review

This book is the beginning of a series by Baldacci with these characters. Given that I really loved the characters, I am hoping that subsequent books have a more believable storyline for them to romp around in. (
