    A solid thriller from the Camel Club series of Baldacci novels. More corruption and the concluding of some feuds from earlier novels.

    I love the Camel Club members and will continue to read this enjoyable series, but this one had way too many eye-rolling moments near the end and required me to suspend disbelief over plot points that could have easily been handled in a less eye-rolling way. Still, a fun series and I'm hooked.

    In this third installment of the Camel Club series, we begin to get more of Oliver Stone's history. Someone is killing Oliver's teammates from his CIA days. Oliver needs to find out who and why before they come after him. If that wasn't enough to keep Oliver and his Camel Club buddies busy, Annabelle Conroy is back in town with Jerry Bagger hot on her heels.I listened to this on audiobook and really enjoyed the story. The story was interesting, fast-paced, and kept the listener wondering. An added bonus was that the narrator, Ron McLarty did an amazing job with the characters.Rating: 4 Stars

    David Baldacci never disappoints me. I like the characters, the story moves along with an excellent mix of intrigue, humour, sarcasm and wit. This was more than another addition in the series - was a definite continuation to The Collectors.

    Yes! He's dead! Finally. This book started well, picked up pace, and ended breathlessly. I am so glad to have read this book in the state of mind that I did. Sometimes a good book is wasted because of the wrong disposition of the reader, but I devoured Stone Cold (vague title, by the way) like it was my last book. The best aspects of this book are spoiler laden. Let me just say that when Baldacci kills of characters he makes them count. I'm beginning to think that this author is totally compatible with the way my mind works. If that's true, then endless trial and error has been rewarded. What a book!

    I really enjoy the Camel Club (even though I am reading backwards as started with #4 Divine Justice). Olive Stone (Carr) is quite the character and is unstoppable! Annabelle (another Camel Club) is also involved in this thriller by David Baldacci. I look forward to reading the other books in the series! (the audio is fabulous, the sound effects and the narrator is one of my favorites!

    This is the third Camel Club book and they just get better!!!I don't want to say too much - because nothing should be given away.I will say that this picks up the story right after The Collectors.Loose ends are tied up - new ravelings are discovered and teased open to leave gapping holes in the known past.The Camel Club is important, but they are not the center of the story - instead Oliver and Annabelle are. Oliver Stone/John Carr is amazing.All I can say is BRAVO David Baldacci!!!Read this one for sure - but not before you have read The Camel Club and The Collectors!!!

    Fast moving with short chapters and reads like an action movie. You can almost imagine your favorite movie stars in the main roles. While not great literature, it is enjoyable and a fast read. Lots of killing, no sex, stereotypical characters with convenient plot lines to move the action along.. I can actually neither recommend nor dis the book. But would think it proper for political thrill junkies or teens looking for a "clean" yet fast moving plot.

    I am a big fan of David Baldacci. He writes with intelligence and wit. His Camel Club series has rapidly become one of my favorite book series. If you like John Grisham, but wish there was more plot and less predictable filler, then Baldacci is a good choice.

    A fast action-packed novel. The short chapters added to the pace of the book and always kept all of the characters in focus. A long book, but the pages flew past!

    I am enjoying this series of books, "Camel Club." In this, the third, there are several plot lines weaving together, both tying up the open items from the second book and introducing new lines - and characters. Enjoyable, fast-moving, a little over the top, but the author makes the unbelievable sound plausible when you're in his world. Looking forward to number four.

    There is so much I can't say about this book for fear of giving too much away! Suffice it to say, Stone Cold picks up right where The Collectors left off. Oliver Stone, the leader of the Camel Club, is determined to help con artist Annabelle Conroy out of a jam. Unfortunately, he finds himself in a dangerous predicament of his own, making things far more complicated.At its core, Stone Cold is a story of revenge. While all the Camel Club books have a theme of seeking justice, the events that unfold in Stone Cold are even more personal and require a large measure of personal sacrifice in order to exact revenge - no matter how well deserved that revenge is. Through it all, you will laugh, gasp and maybe even cry.I was turned on to the Camel Club two years ago by an advance reading copy of Divine Justice, the fourth book in the series. I hadn't planned to reread it, but it has taken me so long to get back to the series that I don't remember what happens. The books of the Camel Club series flow one into the next making it difficult to stop yourself from picking up the next one.The next installment of the Camel Club series, Hell's Corner, is due for publication on November 9, 2010. I can't wait to read what happens next!

    Oliver Stone and his motley crew of unlikely heroes return in this next instalment of the Camel Club. Two plot threads run side by side in this novel. We discover more about the mysterious Stone's past as he battles to stay alive when his previous life starts to catch up with him. All the favourite characters are back as the story races to a thrilling and devastating climax. It will be interesting to see where Baldacci takes these characters if he chooses to write anymore Camel Club books.

    The conspiracy theories continue to fly in the 3rd installment of the Camel Club series. I love that Baldacci brought back Annabelle from the last book and finished that story. Now I hope to see some Henry Finn and company in the next installment. And not to try and spoil the story for those who haven't read it yet, one principal member will sorely be missed, but in these stories where the body count is continually climbing I guess I can't be too surprised. Just sorry it was one of my favorites.

    A cracking read which kept me turning the page until I finished it. Most of the action is set in and around Washington and the political scene with two interleaving threads. One thread is a con artist and her team who are trying to evade the wrath of an Atlantic City casino operator they conned out of $40m; the other thread is a cold war retribution involving high-level DC political operators. Well plotted and any holes easily overlooked by the sheer pace of the story.

    I have read 4 or 5 books by David Baldacci and I like his style very much because I can read a book in one day and never get bored. The Camel Club has an interesting mix of personalities. It does seem unbelievable that people could live a secret life that is not interfered with because they have no families that would make them tread the straight and narrow. I guess that is just highlighting my own personal fantasy which is to somehow escape from the constraints of being responsible for my own family. Of course, Oliver Stone is not happy at all because he lost his family, so the point I made above is kind of dumb. I would like to be free from my family but not by the means of some catastrophic loss. So for the present moment, reading a book like this just serves as pure escapism.

    Stone Cold is the 3rd book in the Camel Club series. The club is back and still making trouble for those who need it. Susan/Annabelle has a mob-like casino boss gunning for her since she ripped $40 Million from him, and someone else seems to be killing off all of Oliver Stones old triple 6 teammates. Carter Grey even invites Oliver to his house in order to present the evidence. Later after Grey's house is blown up, Oliver is hung out as bait to draw the killer out of the woodwork.This book is rather action packed and keeps one wondering what is going to happen next. It also is mostly 'reasonable' as far as spy novels go, no major groaners for easy outs or spectacularly impossible feats. Just reasonable over the top action.Overall an enjoyable book, well written and no one had any unexplained superpowers show up out of the blue. I liked it and it's worth a read. Also Ron McLarty did an excellent job IMO in reading as well.

    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.

    I loved this book. I listened to the abridged version and have decided to step back and listen to the unabridged. Of the 4 books in the series, this is my favorite. I found myself really liking Annabelle. Even though she was a conn, I found her story interesting, all the way down to the relationship with her and her father. I was a little heartbroken that Oliver wasn't the one who was going to save her from Jerry Bagger, but Oliver was true to his word in helping her. Even though it wasn't him. (Can't tell you who it is!) I think that what I liked about this the most was that no matter how hard I tried to predict the next event, I was never right! Baldacci has his newest fan!

    I have read several books by David Baldacci, including the two earlier novels in his Camel Club series. In short, Stone Cold, the third Camel Club book was entertaining, but left a bit to be desired.The best part was the new character, Harry Finn, who works for a private company that has a government contract to test the security measures of government agencies and contractors. This plot line is very interesting.The worst part is when some bad guys are either stupid or not bad enough. The reader is not sure which it is because an obvious potential advantage is just ignored. I found error so glaring and annoying that when it occurs 440+ pages in, I almost tossed the book unfinished.I attempted to ignore the blunder and finished Stone Cold and it ended decent, but not great because I just couldn't forget.Note: I mentioned the blunder to the person who loaned me Stone Cold. He did not notice the plot weakness until I pointed it out to him. Perhaps if you read rapidly and don't think too much, you will enjoy the book to its conclusion.

    Formulaic, silly, tedious, characters we have no reason to care about . My first exposure to Baldacci is likely to be my last. I almost never drop a thriller. Halfway through this one, having skimmed the last 100 pages, and I will not carry on. Hundreds of better ones out there.

    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 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 final that is explosive as it is shattering. When buried secrets are at last violently resurrected, the members of the Camel Club left standing will be changed forever.

    Stone Cold, the third installment in David Baldacci's Camel Club series, brings the boys back together - along with Annabelle Conroy - to solve two mysteries at once. As Oliver Stone's former secret agent colleagues disappear, one by one, Jerry Bagger - casino boss and the man Annabell conned out of $40 million dollars - vows to destroy everyone involved in conning him. Oliver brings in help from his friends, the Camel Club - Milton, Reuben, Caleb and Alex Ford - to help him find out why Harry Finn is killing his former colleagues and to keep Annabelle safe from Bagger.Baldacci interweaves the two stories well, and generally keeps the reader's heart rate up throughout this thriller. Baldacci is not the best writer in the genre, and unfortunately I found myself occasionally tripping over his use of language in this book. I think he could use a bit more editing to keep his grammar in line. I also found the ending a bit off-putting. In the past, Oliver Stone's past as a trained killer seemed to be something he had overcome - in the early two Camel Club books, Stone generally used his wits to get out of situations. However, the ending of this book took quite a turn. It will be interesting to see if, in the next Camel Club book, Baldacci returns Stone to his more reasonable self or if he decides that revenge is what drives him. I hope it's not pure revenge - it's just too predictable.
