How in the fricking world did it take me long to pick this up!? I actually ended up loving this little short story with two of Baldacci's iconic characters he's ever written, Oliver Stone and the Camel Club alongside Will Robie.


This story made me nostalgic for The Camel Club series again since I read all 5 books years ago, and yet, some characters for the life of me couldn't remember who was who except for Oliver and a couple of other characters (Rueben and Caleb) and had to look on wikipedia for who was who but now I'm wanting to reread and now listen to the Camel Club series but start over with Will Robie since I have yet to read and listen to the last book and I don't know WHY it's taking me so long to get to it.


So now it looks like I have a valid excuse to finally read and now listen to them again. Will Robie however is another story. Out of Baldacci's main/lead characters, I've ALWAYS had a special place for Will Robie in my heart. I don't know why, but there's just something special about him that I for some reason love the most. So any time I see Will Robie books or he's mentioned, I get excited and this was one a Will Robie short story I ABSOLUTELY love

I have not read The Camel Club series yet so the significance of Oliver Stone did not register much. David Baldacci did a nice job brining in two fan favorite characters together.

At just 75 pages, Bullseye is a quick and interesting read.

Camel Club / Will Roby mashup. Perfect.

Great tense, action packed short story. It was more of a Camel Club story than a Will Robin story, but it reminded me why I enjoyed the Camel Club.

"Bullseye" is a fast-paced, entertaining story. It was great to see the Camel Club back in action. I hope to see Will Robie and Oliver Stone working together again someday.

I found this to be an okay read, but found it lacking a bit. I would have liked to see a bit more character development, but I think there was an assumption that readers would have read other related books.

3 Stars. Typical, if not very slightly above average, .5 novella. Always good to see Robie. Oliver keeps getting better.

I am really enjoying the short-filler stories authors have been publishing. With that said, "Bullseye" is a great and fast read. I like how David Baldacci incorporated his characters from other series. Very well done. I could not put this short story down once I started it. I am looking forward to the new Will Robie book that comes out next month!
