Existing on the fringe of Washington, D.C., four eccentric and downtrodden members, somewhat forgotten by society, form a conspiracy watchdog organization. Camels have great stamina and never give up, is the mantra of The Camel Club.


The Camel Club whitnesses a shocking murder and explode into a plot that threatens the security of the nation. This group studies conspiracy theories, current events and global governments but never in the Club's wildest dreams/nightmares, could they imagine this conspiracy.


Our club felt the book was slow to start, involved some poorly developed characters, and the ending came very abruptly.


Not an easy discussion book, however we were able to explore the avenue of applying the wild conspiracy into our "current day" world. We explored the potential of this story or parts of it being true today. Our national security and just how little we know. The inter-workings of our Government. What information and/or truth is made up and what is covered up?

Although, we agreed we liked the book, it was not the best for book club and subsequent discussion. Many of our members have gone on to read The Collectors, which they enjoyed more than The Camel Club. The Camel Club continues their adventures in The Collectors and following two books. A good adventure, suspense, beach read.

Although it is an exciting espionage read, it does not lend itself to a group discussion. Some of the characters are superficial as you would expect in a book which is primarily about the plot. The underlying themes can be discussed, but without charc. study, the discussion is not extensive. We also thought the ending was too quickly "wrapped up".
