Following the instant # 1 New York Times bestseller Stone Cold, Oliver Stone and the Camel Club return in David Baldacci's most surprising thriller yet . . .
Known by his alias, "Oliver Stone," John Carr is the most wanted man in America. With two pulls of the trigger, the men who destroyed Stone's life and kept him in the shadows were finally silenced.
But his freedom comes at a steep price: The assassinations he carried out prompt the highest levels of the U.S. government to unleash a massive manhunt. Behind the scenes, master spy Macklin Hayes is playing a very personal game of cat and mouse. He, more than anyone, wants Stone dead.
With their friend and unofficial leader in hiding, the members of the Camel Club risk everything to save him. Now, as the hunters close in, Stone's flight from the demons of his past will take him from the power corridors of Washington, D.C., to the small, isolated coal-mining town of Divine, Virginia-and into a world every bit as lethal as the one he left behind.

Summary: Divine Justice
Comment: I have enjoyed the "Camel Club" stories and must admit that this one was the most enjoyable because the "perils" never ceased until the very end. I think that the main characters have been given more fullness in this book than in his previous stories. This may be a maturity of writing that has been adapted by Mr. Baldacci over the years but it is a better read now.
I do look forward to his next book and hope that this prolific writer is still willing to create new adventures and new characters.

Summary: Best Camel Club Yet
Comment: Best Camel Club Yet
David Baldacci writes a superb thriller with Divine Justice. He weaves together 2 very interesting plots into one action packed novel with many twists and turns. The central thesis revolves around the enigmatic John Carr (aka Oliver Stone) and his attempt to escape the dangerous world of Washington Intelligence after he assassinates two prominent government officials. During his travels he accidentally finds himself embroiled in the mysterious activities of a bucolic Virginia town named Divine. One thing leads to another as he finds himself becoming more and more involved in the strange goings on and even stranger local inhabitants. Couple all this with a massive CIA manhunt for Mr. Stone by the "Company's" best "finder" and you have the makings of a very good story. Needless to say all the usual suspects are present, but what makes the story so interesting is not everyone is who they appear to be. The Camel Club eventually arrives in force to help Oliver Stone, and in the hunt by the CIA's finder, Joe Knox, old revelations of Stone's past come to light that somewhat mitigate his actions. Wrapped up in all this is a master CIA spy who has an old score to settle with Stone, and an evil local super-max prison warden who is dealing in drugs. It all comes together in a climatic conclusion with the good guys winning despite taking some sad losses.
Simply a good story with intersecting plots and dynamic characters. This is undoubtedly the best Camel Club story to date as the characters grow into their individual parts.
Character development is good as Mr. Baldacci continues to expand on each main character. With each Camel Club story we learn more and more about this eclectic band of self-styled investigators. With the introduction of some new characters, it will be very interesting to see if and/or where Mr. Baldacci goes next. There are many possibilities and they all seem good.
No gratuitous sex, language, or violence.
Recommended. Simply a good, solid story with 2 interesting plots. I am looking forward to the next Camel Club adventure.

Summary: Fantastic!
Comment: This Camel Club edition is simply a fantastic read. If you love David Baldacci (as I do) you will love this book. If you have never read one of his books, you will fall in love with him after reading Divine Justice. I also highly recommend Michele Cozzens' It's Not Your Mother's Bridge Club

Summary: Camel Club Personified
Comment: David Baldacci has written a sequel to the Camel Club series in his usual remarkable form. The parallel action story-line was riveting. No author in my experience can successfully tell two completely separate stories at the same time, interspersing characters and activity at a micro level, as does Baldacci.
Explaining the biography of Oliver Stone/John Carr in this book concerns me as an avid fan as to Baldacci's plans to continue the Camel Club series. However, if he does not, the true enjoyment of having read all four books most assuredly allows me to give props the author deserves.
Having introduced Annabelle as an addition to the group awhile back added a new dimension and certainly tickles the imagination of what might be, should future books be written. My recommendation is absolute, but it also includes reading the entire Camel Club series from the beginning.
