5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping /page turner!!, 17 Dec 2011
Review; I have never heard of Conrad Jones and seeing this book and its reviews I thought 'why not' and boy am I so glad I did, it has to be one of the best books I have read in a while, so good I didnt sleep till I finished it,I just couldnt put it down. Being so impressed by Mr.Jones I have now purchased more of his books and each one so far is brilliant! I am so thankful to kindle because without it I would never of known this writer. Brilliant brilliant brilliant! :)
A Novella thriller/horror were the author (Conrad Jones) tells of the nightmare he walked into while researching an earlier novel. Threats on his life were made. The writer encourages the reader to Google the facts, and they are all there to see, '"true or not?'' This book scared the pants of me!!

Chapter 1
They’re coming
How would you start a book about evil? I’m used to telling stories but not like this one, not the truth. I write fiction but this story is real. They say that fact is stranger than fiction and it is correct. There is more evil in the real world than in any fictional one. Where shall I begin? At the beginning, I guess. The night it all began, the moon was shining and silver lined the clouds as they dashed across the night sky. Does it sound right or does it sound like a teenage horror book? Actually, it was a dark and stormy night and I could hear the sound of howling in the distance. It might be the ideal way to begin a horror story or a book about zombies but this is not fantasy.
As I write this book, the weather is bad right now, the news is full of flash floods, and chaos as the country grinds to a halt. You know what I mean when that happens. No rain for a week and we have a drought, hosepipe bans and advice on how to save water, right? Three inches of snow and the roads are blocked and everyone blames the government for not having enough grit. Anyway, back to the story. The rain is hammering against the windows and jagged flashes of lightning are shooting across the sky illuminating the trees outside. It seems like the perfect time to start a book about evil and I really wish I was making it up but this is no fairytale or work of fiction. I have to pinch myself to see if I am awake because I wish it was all just a dream but it is not. It was real. It is real and although I have created many books, I could not have imagined this story. Beware readers for this is a shocking tale that will disturb you and make you question my grip on reality, and your own too. If you are expecting tales of vampires or werewolves, fur and fangs, then you will be disappointed. You will tell your friends that it cannot be real but as I listen to the wind gusting against the windows and the lightning flashes against the blackness of the sky, I can still hear their screams in my mind.
The series so far; Soft Target, Soft Target II 'Tank', Soft Target III 'Jerusalem', 18th Brigade, Blister, The Child Taker, Slow Burn, Nine Angels, (coming soon, The Gecko Murders)
