David Baldacci is well known for his suspenseful legal thrillers, but in Wish You Well, Baldacci tells a simple, heartwarming and affirming story about the power of love.
Baldacci's story is compelling and engrossing, and his gift for suspense is well-employed in this homey story.

The thriller's titular Camel Club is an aging, somewhat disreputable quartet of conspiracy theorists who seem destined to remain quietly irrelevant until they inadvertently witness the elaborately planned killing of a man on Roosevelt Island in the middle of the Potomac River.
In a trademark Baldacci twist, the murdered man worked for the National Threat Assessment Center, and his killers are agents from the federal government's recently formed National Intelligence Center.
Baldacci knows how to use a race against the clock to its greatest potential, and he also knows how to present a believable dark side to the federal government.

 Hour Game, Split Second, Last Man Standing by David Baldacci - read reviews
As much as Baldacci paints HRT as real American heroes, by delving into this psychological side of the story he also points out the character deficiencies that cause these men to go through the most grueling training and then to subject themselves to the greatest danger.
Baldacci's also gets good grades for building believable characters, so much so that when their behavior is predictable, that you could almost accuse him of creating stereotypes.
Although all of Baldacci's novels so far are standalone, there's about a half dozen characters that I'd like to see again and the way the book ends leaves this novel wide open for a sequel.

David Baldacci has giving us a fine body of work, but he certainly doesn't have to use any of it to prop up "Split Second." This book can stand by itself very well.
I was disappointed with David Baldacci's "Split Second." Unlike his previous works it is definitely not a strong, tightly written novel, although it could have been a real winner.
To Baldacci's credit his writing style is his only asset when it comes to keeping readers interested and wanting them to find out who did what and why.

 Barnes & Noble.com - Split Second - David Baldacci - Hardcover - Bargain
A masterful craftsman, Baldacci manipulates his story line with great effectiveness, creating a sense of danger and foreboding and imbuing even secondary characters with enough depth and dimension to rescue them from stereotypes.
This is, alas, Baldacci's weakest thriller in years-but with its terrific title, the Baldacci name and heavy promo, it's bound to hit the lists.
This is the first David Baldacci book I have read, and overall it wasn't too shabby.

 Barnes & Noble.com - Camel Club - David Baldacci - Compact Disc - Unabridged, 10 CDs, 12 hours
Baldacci works hard to balance all his many characters and their connecting stories, and Davis holds up his end with clever, sharp-edged subtlety that helps listeners stay in the picture.
Throughout, Baldacci (Hour Game, 2004, etc.) drops reliable twists, revealing the federal agent murder to be-surprise-a minuscule piece of a much bigger plot involving snipers, nukes, a presidential kidnapping and an even gloomier vision of the future.
Baldacci is not a particularly graceful writer, e.g., "Like all Secret Service agents, his suits were designed a little big in the chest, to disguise the bulge of the weapon." Worse is the author's chronic inability to draw convincing characters.

 Amazon.com: The Camel Club: Books: David Baldacci   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
David Baldacci's The Camel Club takes readers inside the Beltway as four unlikely misfits struggle not only to survive, but to save their president and their country from a plot that will lead to nuclear disaster.
Baldacci maintains interest during the long buildup by supplying fascinating historical facts, amusing characters, high-tech spy lore and the backstories of his super agents, both good and evil.
I am a big fan of Baldacci, and the plot of this book is awesome, however, too much information at the beginning makes this a slow read and easy to figure out the end halfway through the book.
