“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!"
