WoW & Wow – ★★★★★
“I just finished Gold Fire and Black Camel. You write very fast-paced, detailed stories! Action-packed that’s for sure. Your stories give me confidence while also scaring me to death.” Avid Reader/Buyer – Pat Garcia

Clancy good – ★★★★★

Unpredictable – ★★★★★
“Loved Black Came. I was hyperventilating during the final pages when the Buffalo was heading toward its target. Love that your storylines are unpredictable, it makes them much more exciting.” Website buyer: Dave Gray Mountain Ranch CA

Believable – ★★★★★
“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.” European seaport and shipping security expert – Ray Gibbons

Savored It – ★★★★★
“I can’t tell you when I enjoyed a fiction book more in recent memory. I’m a fan of Brad Thor, Ken Follett, James Patterson, CJ Boxx, the Jack Reacher series, and many other terror/mystery genre novels and yours is equal to or better than any of theirs.

I read your book much slower than I usually read fiction: I savored your attention to detail on technical issues, such as your descriptions of how Dominique and Wolf devised intricate bombs and eluded capture through their careful comms strategies; I warmed to your character development of Cholo and Oasis, and their complex friendship; and I was intrigued with the unpredictable plot twists. I’ve already ordered two more of your books. You have a gift!” Website Buyer – John Shull

Must Read – ★★★★★
“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. To find out what events the terrorist group created and what and how they were eventually stopped, then you must read this book.” GoodReads Reviewer – John Lawton

Ultra-realistic – ★★★★★
“… a gripping, current-day terrorism thriller with an ultra-realistic plot and characters. I really enjoyed the technical knowledge of security protocols and terrorism organizations which Ed wove into the story. As a big fan of Higgins, Ludlum, Clancy, Greeney, and Silva, I found it an engaging read with a fresh style.” NetGalley Reviewer – Rob Watt

Chilling!! – ★★★★★
“Just finished reading Black Camel. I loved it. Hard to put down. Attacking the GRID section was riveting . . . You have become my favorite author and I am so glad I found your books” Website buyer: K. Kennedy, San Mateo, CA

Enjoyed immensely! – ★★★★★
“A very unique team of two individuals with an amazing amount of expertise in their dark trade. Not mercenaries in the common term, but for the right amount they have the uncanny ability, expertise to get a job down. . . The contract by the middle eastern fanatical terrorists who hired them? To reign holy terror upon the citizens of America. . . Two operatives stand in their path to glory. A highly courageous and talented FBI agent who goes by the moniker Cholo and an Israeli Mossad agent named Oasis. Both are relentless and highly skilled. Initially their biggest obstacle? The FBI leadership are reluctant to admit their inadequacies and lack of expertise which the Israeli operative brings to the table. This is an extremely fast-paced action thriller and a believable scenario. Enjoyed immensely!!!! My highest recommendation!!” Verified Kindle (Amazon) Buyer – 13 Oct 2020

Deftly Written – ★★★★★
“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.” NetGalley Reviewer – Allen Grew

Intriguing – ★★★★★
“I opened the eBook just to peek and 50 pages later I had to go to bed.. nice. That’s one of the most intriguing first pages I’ve read in a Long time. It sucks you in without you realizing it.” Superfan – Cheri Figuracion

Victory – ★★★★★
“If you like reading a fast-paced action-packed novel that has elements of terrorism and hard-charging good guys to chase them down and snatch victory from defeat then you will enjoy this book.” NetGalley Reviewer – James Niles

Killer Chaos – ★★★★
“Al-Qaeda has had its sights set on “The Great Satan,” aka, America, for decades. While they have had some success hitting American targets overseas, they’ve been largely unsuccessful here at home. That’s about to change. . . Black Camel is as good a thriller as I’ve ever read. Mitchell draws from a wealth of experience in conceiving a plot that doesn’t disappoint.” NetGalley Reviewer – Jud Hanson

Great – ★★★★
“Great story with factual references. Would have given 5 stars but I had a hard time with the flow from event to event, otherwise good read!” GoodReads Reviewer – Les Strahm

Action Packed – ★★★
“Black Camel dove right into the fight on terrorism. It was a fast-paced, action-packed read about an FBI agent and Israeli Mossad operative trying to track professional killers hired to spearhead attacks against the U.S. The details of the chase and attacks are well thought out. However, there is not very much character development (background) for the main individuals.” NetGalley Reviewer – Chris Norman

Awards & Editorial Reviews

Donovan’s Bookshelf Reviews

“The Black Camel is an undercover political assassin with a reputation for always hitting her target. That’s why Al-Qaeda hires her to spread terror attacks across the USA in an effort to force the U.S. out of the Middle East. And that’s why it will take a crack team of counter terrorists to stop the Black Camel…a team that includes an FBI Special Agent and a jaded Israeli Mossad Field Officer.

. . . 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.

Ed 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!”
