Love Baldacci's books, and this latest Camel Club book did not disappoint. Enjoyed it very much. I would highly recommend reading the previous Camel Club book (Stone Cold) before picking this one up - it starts right where the prior book left off, and makes many references to the events that occurred in the prior book. Well-written, suspenseful, enjoyable. Much more enjoyable than Jeffrey Deaver's latest effort (The Bodies Left Behind). I will stick with Baldacci and Lee Child, thank you!

Well, we knew he was going to survive that dive off a cliff.
But the Camel Club isn't what it was in this far-fetched novel so far from the stomping ground in earlier books.
After waiting for so long it was a big disappointment.

As usual, Baldacci hits the nail on the head....this is a fast read adventure well worth the purchase price....a great addition, along with the other "Camel Club" series.l..William Goetz

"Divine Justice" reunites Oliver Stone and the Camel Club in a good book by David Baldacci. I've enjoyed all the Camel Club books and while the writing wasn't as good as it could have been, (I think that the more successful an author becomes more successful the quality of his writing suffers) it's still worth reading.
Oliver Stone flees after killing the two people he blames for killing his wife, stealing his daughter and then killing her, but he doesn't get far. As the book unfolds, we finally find out why Oliver Stone (aka John Carr) is the man he is and what has fueled his desire for "Divine Justice."
After coming to the aid of a young man being beaten by three others he is forced to leave the train they are on with the young man. They wind up in the boy's hometown, Divine that harbors a super-max prison atop a mountain, which can only be reached by helicopter.
All is not well in Divine and since trouble always finds Oliver, he is soon enmeshed in the thick of it. While trying to get to the bottom of the town's secrets he realizes that for the first time since his wife's death he's falling in love with Abby, the mother of the young man he rescued but they may all die if he cannot find the truth. Realizing that their leader and friend is in trouble the members of the Camel Club search for him to give them whatever assistance they can.
The novel graphically describes the backbreaking, grueling, and deadly lives of coal miners who work underground so that we can have electricity. In one chapter Abby says that anyone who has a loved one working in the mines don't use electricity for cooking or heat because they know the "true" cost of electricity. I'll admit after reading this I've become more conservative with my energy consumption.
This could be the end of the Camel Club series, so if you've enjoyed the previous books you need to read this one.

All I can say about this book is Wow! The story takes the reader in directions you never expect and each one gets more exciting than the last. Recommended for everyone who likes mystery/crime fiction. This one hits it right out of the park!!

I am thoroughly enjoying this author. Just when I think it can't get better he comes out with another Camel Club idea, as good and often better than the last. I enjoy all this author's books but the Camel Club radiates fun and thought provoking themes. Thank You B. Grantham

THIS IS THE 3RD BOOK OF THE "CAMEL CLUB" . THIS ONE IS MORE VIOLENT THAN THE OTHERS, BUT FILLS OUT THE STORY OF OLIVER STONE.

After I read Stone Cold, I had to have this book! David Baldacci brings you into the Camel Club, and once you're in you can never get out. A real page turner. Be ready to read cover to cover.

The book came in a very timely manner from the seller and was in excellent condition. Since I am a hugh fan of the author, I must admit that I wasn't disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed this book. I recommend it to others as an excellent read. Thanks for allowing me to give you my views.

Give it a 3 star cause it's more comic book than novel with a older hero (60 something) acting like a young Clark Kent/Superman(20 something)).
The book opens with the hero jumping off a cliff (after whacking a high profile target) into very cold water and swimming to safety. He's now on the run from a evil military General who has "abused" him since he was a young soldier (war hero with no medals)in Vietnam.
Oliver ends up in Divine a small coal mining town with a drug "problem" where we get another evil character who loves to torture people in his hell hole crib.
The ending's beyond belief for an adult, but kids may buy it.
Like too many best selling author's their newer novels ain't in the same league with their older (career building) stuff. Just make more money off your NAME, not the quality of your words pen'd on paper!
