Book Reviews of Stone Cold
Book Review: Listen up, Hollywood!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. No, it probably won't make the category of a literary classic like Moby Dick and such, but for adventure/suspense readers, this book does the trick. Those who rated it with one or two star must've been having a real bad day. How else could they give such a negative review to such a good book.
The character, John Carr (a.k.a. Oliver Stone - thus the title, STONE COLD), is an admirable personality, indeed - highly intelligent, modest and unassuming, strong convictions, fiercely loyal to his friends and principles, brooding over past deceptions to which he'd been victim, grieving over past sins & losses, and incredibly lethal when necessary. True hero material.
If any Hollywood producer happens to read this, which I doubt, STONE COLD (and the whole CAMEL CLUB series) would make for great cinema. Given the right director and screenplay writer, it has potential for a wonderful blend of cinematic humor, pathos, chemistry between the CAMEL CLUB's personalities, and a complex but engaging story line.
And I have a suggestion regarding who might make a great John Carr. Mark Harmon, who plays Leroy Jethro Gibbs on the TV show NCIS, could step right into the character without any trouble, although he may need to bulk up slightly to fit Carr's mold. Leroy Jethro Gibbs and John Carr are very similar - tough, honest, and determined men in a tough world. We need to see more of that.
No need to thank me, Hollywood. Just send me a cut of the profits! Yah, right, I won't hold my breath.
Summary of Stone Cold
The #1 bestselling author of The Collectors and Simple Genius returns with STONE COLD...an unforgetable novel of revenge, conspiracy, and murder that brings a band of unlikely heroes face-to-face with their greatest threat.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 from 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 finale that is as explosive as it is shattering. And when buried secrets
are at last violently resurrected, the members of the Camel Club left standing
will be changed forever.
With unrelenting pacing, stunning reversals, and two of the most compelling characters in modern fiction, STONE COLD is David Baldacci writing at his breathtaking best.
