DESCRIPTION:
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. 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. 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. Known by his alias, "Oliver Stone," John Carr is the most wanted man in America. 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.
"Good fiction" according to Aletheuo. This book was recommended to me by a friend. I don't read a lot of fiction, but I think I'll read some more Baldacci books after having experienced this one. The author is good about moving the story forward in a purposeful way, and he develops the characters well. His sentence structure and vocabulary made his book easy to read, but not so simple as to insult the reader. I read it in two evenings and enjoyed it greatl. Sappy, cliched, predictable and satisfying Melvin Morse The villains are vile, the heroes flawed, the women are strong and weepy, and the plot is Sydney Sheldon at his worst. Yet it all works and is deeply satisfying. The end is predictable and just as you wanted it to be. Plus Stone gets a girlfriend, after twenty years of living in a tent, he deserves something good to come his way.. Disappointing I really like the set-up for the Camel Club, but this book seemed like a first draft. The plot sagged badly in the middle, then picked up toward the end, but I found myself bothered by the "phoned-in" quality of the writing.I've never warmed up to the Annabelle character (I quit Book 3 in the series mid-way because of her). Don't think I'll be buying any more Camel Club books (if there are any), and I'll think twice ab
Ever the Good Samaritan, Stone intervenes in a fight on the train, but when the Amtrak conductor asks to see his ID, he gets off at the next station, knowing his fake ID won't withstand scrutiny. Series fans should be satisfied, but this effort lacks the imagination that distinguished Baldacci's debut, Absolute Power (1996). This sudden detour takes Stone to Divine, Va., a mining town where he becomes enmeshed in corruption and intrigue—and falls, in just one of several clichéd situations, for an attractive if beleaguered widow.
