Description

“When it comes to action, Mitchell delivers. Drawing on his military experience, he is entirely believable in depicting the dangerous contest between committed opponents on opposite sides of the War on Terror.”

Donovan's Bookshelf Reviews

"While it may seem like a newcomer beginning with Volume-5 in The Gold Lust series would be at a disadvantage, it should be emphasized that each book is a stand-alone production. Black Camel opens with a list of characters and their jobs, a short but intriguing prologue that establishes setting and background, and then moves to a captivating question at a Virginia wedding that immediately gains the reader's attention: "Why do I want to marry a man who’s a magnet for danger?”

"With the prologue and first sentence, readers are off and running as it becomes evident that the bride is right to worry. An unwelcome visitor, a Muslim watcher with a camera, is stalking the wedding from afar—and the threat is just beginning.

"While urban firebombs, a connection between an air show and a murdered farmer, and Allah's Avengers in America test the FBI-team, readers are treated to a fast-paced story of intrigue and action that punctuates explosions and confrontations with dangerous decisions on both sides of the War on Terror.

"Mitchell's military background again lends realistic action and description to a story that is powerfully compelling as readers experience close encounters, near misses, and the evolution of terrorist attacks on American soil.

"America needs her defenders...but the price of participating in defense may tear apart love, family, and normal life on many different levels. It should be noted at this point that female operatives play important roles as the story evolves, proving just as assertive and savvy as their male agent counterparts. A subplot involving two women's relationship and the complicated challenge a man's love inserts into it adds further depth and dimension to the thriller.

"The result is a heady romp through a much-changed, threatened America that moves from personal lives and challenges to political intrigue. Readers of Black Camel are in for a treat!"

Non-stop action in a contemporary background. So deftly written that I was right there with the characters! I enjoyed the characters, locale and plot a lot. But, I felt the ending scene with Cholo was corny.

Black Camel reminded me of a Tom Clancy novel. It was a fast paced concisely written book. I enjoyed the characters and look forward to Mitchell's next novel.

I received this book through NetGalley's Read Now program.
This story is an eye opener. It shows how easy it would be for someone to create major terrorism events if they have the right kind of background and the necessary sleeper agents already here. It also shows how individuals want to bury their head in the sand rather than listen to individuals that have ideas that don't agree with them. In this case, Cholo, an FBI agent who had been overseas working with Mossad has presented a suggestion to SAC in his location. He mentioned that because of potential incidences of terrorism it might be a good idea to get somebody familiar with how terrorist operate. His idea was shot down, but shortly after a major terrorist incident occurred which killed several people and wounded a U.S. Senator. The result of the activity was the creation of a task force and as part of the group, Oasis, was asked to assist. She was the Mossad agent that Cholo worked with while overseas.

The individuals leading the terrorists were Wolf, a German and Dominique who was the leader. They were asked by Taliban leadership to bring the War occurring in the Middle East to the American soil. With the help of sleeper cells and funding from the Taliban, they created a great deal of disruption in the country putting Americans to worry about their safety. The primary mission for this organization was the killing of a specific Senator and the destruction of the White House and its' occupants.

To find out what events the terrorist group created and what and how they were eventually stopped, then you must read this book.

I found Black Camel to be a gripping, current-day terrorism thriller with an ultra-realistic plot and characters. I really enjoyed the technical knowledge of security protocols and terrorism organisations which Ed weaved into the story. As a big fan of Higgins, Ludlum, Clancy, Greeney and Silva, I found it an engaging read with a fresh style.
