Book Reviews of Divine Justice (Camel Club)

Book Review: The best of this superb series of stories.
Summary: 5 Stars

The Camel Club is back, at least what's left of it. Their number has been reduced, since Milton Farb was cruelly cut down in a gun fight meant to take out Oliver Stone. Now Stone has some scores to settle. He says his goodbyes and handles a little unfinished business before taking off for parts unknown. After all these years, things have come to a head.

"He had a letter to deliver. And something to pick up. And then it would be time to hit the road. His alter ego John Carr was finally dead. And the odds were awfully good that Oliver Stone might be right behind him."

Two men have been murdered, linked to Stone by past sins. General Macklin Hayes, wielding heavy influence and little mercy, sets agent John Knox on Stone's trail. A formidable opponent, Knox studies his quarry's reputation. He fears that he too may not live through this assignment. The more he learns about Stone, the more perplexed he becomes. Stone seems like an honorable man. Why would he kill two men in cold blood, as he is accused of doing? It doesn't fit. And the deeper Knox digs, the more nervous his boss becomes. General Hayes refuses to give him access to crucial information and then blocks the investigation when Knox heads in a direction the general doesn't like. What was Hayes's purpose in assigning him to find Stone if he won't allow him to follow all leads?

Meanwhile, Stone has hopped a train out of town. He doesn't really care where it takes him so long as it gets him out of Washington. His plan might have worked out better had he not decided to run interference for a young man grossly outnumbered in an ugly fight. Danny Riker could have died on that train if Stone had not jumped in to help. Soon, he finds himself and the kid standing on a road watching the train chugging off into the distance. They start down the long road for Divine, Virginia, a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, a place that Riker has called home for his entire life. To Stone, it sounds like the perfect place to disappear in. But it turns out that Divine is not the idyllic town suggested by its name. In fact, it has some nasty little secrets. And people with something to hide often look upon strangers with a suspicious eye.

In Divine, Stone, aka John Carr, tries to maintain a low profile. But Abby Riker, Danny's widowed mother, takes an interest in Stone, complicating his ideas of a smooth getaway. And he can't deny the growing fondness he feels for both Danny and Abby, further complicating things for him.

As Knox's search is bringing him closer to Stone and the truth, the members of the Camel Club are working frantically to find Stone before Knox does. A rough-and- tumble group, their personalities and talents get them through the toughest situations. And they know that whoever reaches Stone first will have some hard decisions to make. As will Stone.

With Milton Farb gone, it seemed like the Camel Club may have run its course, but they remain unified and committed to Stone. Each person has battled his or her demons and grown stronger for it. Their faith in Stone is unwavering. And David Baldacci's readers' faith should be unwavering, too. There is good reason Stone is so popular and has lived as long as he has. He is a true hero. Full of compassion, justice and nail-biting tension, DIVINE JUSTICE is the best of this superb series of stories.

Summary of Divine Justice (Camel Club)

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.
