David Baldacci: On the Web

David’s novel Divine Justice is recommended in a post titled “Reading 2009- Divine Justice by David Baldacci” on A Cozy Life blog.

Another bit of fast paced reading by one of my favorite authors. You just know the bad guys will get it in the end but getting there keeps you turning the pages. John Carr has some pretty amazing friends in his Camel Club.

David’s latest release, First Family, is the subject of a blurb titled “Hold That Book” on New York Librarian.

David Baldacci’s newest, First Family, has 630 holds on the first 333 copies. Now, that’s a best-seller.

David’s Camel Club series and the latest book in that series, Divine Justice, are included in a review of summer reading titled “Dockside Reading” in The Muskokan of Bracebridge, Ontario.

In Baldacci’s 2008 novel, Divine Justice, things are just starting to settle down when an extremely proficient sniper kills two powerful men — one is the former CIA chief and the other an Alabama senator. The CIA, the FBI, Homeland Security and the Washington police suspect John Carr, alias Oliver Stone, the man whose life was destroyed by the two murdered men.

David’s participation in BookExpo America (BEA) is mentioned in a news story titled “Worried Book Industry Gathers for Convention” in The Associated Press.

BookExpo opens Thursday and will run through Sunday. Featured authors include Pat Conroy, David Baldacci and Richard Russo, along with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, actresses Julie Andrews and Julianne Moore, and the country’s favorite airline pilot, Capt. Chesley Sullenberger. Tina Brown will host a “CEO Roundtable,” with executives from four publishing houses.

David is mentioned in an article titled “Courtesy-Minded Metro Stands Up for Riders Who Shouldn’t Have To” in The Washington Post.

One recent morning, two men were in the seats closest to Lai [a pregnant woman], who was standing in the aisle directly in front of them. Neither man looked up. One was in his 20s, wearing an American Eagle striped polo shirt, reading a newspaper. He mumbled that he was new to Washington when asked why he didn’t offer his seat. Next to him, a man with graying hair and mustache, flag pin on his lapel, was deep into a David Baldacci novel. “I didn’t notice,” he snapped in an annoyed tone and went back to his book. Lai found a seat elsewhere.

David and his publisher’s domestic parent company, Hachette Book Group USA, are mentioned in a post titled “Hachette’s Anti-Piracy Memo: On Target” on TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home.

One of the publishers taking an aggressive stance against piracy is Hachette, publisher of such bestsellers as David Baldacci.

David is mentioned in a post titled “Ebooks and Free Books and Amazon Kindle, Oh My” on A Newbie’s Guide to Publishing.

Why are two midlist thriller authors getting more downloads than huge bestsellers like James Patterson, David Baldacci, John Sandford, Lee Child, and Stephanie Meyer?

David’s latest novel, First Family, is reviewed in an article titled “Baldacci’s ‘First Family’ a Thriller” in The Daily Reflector of Greenville, SC.

If you are ready for another fast-paced thriller, it is time to grab David Baldacci’s “First Family” at Sheppard Memorial Library. It is actually a follow-up to his novel “Simple Genius,” which is not necessary to read beforehand.

David’s novel Divine Justice is reviewed in a post on The Clare-Panton Family blog.

Divine Justice saw the return of my favourite Baldacci character, Oliver Stone, and the plot is just as improbable as his name is real. I’m not a conspriracy theorist and I hope to heaven that the governments of the free world really aren’t this corrupt and conniving.

David’s latest novel, First Family, is reviewed in an article in The Washington Times.

Mr. Baldacci‘s books are jigsaw puzzles of intersecting events, not simple whodunits. “First Family” is no exception. The story line jumps from Washington to Georgia to Alabama to Tennessee and back.
