Product Description

Synopsis
'SOFT TARGET' is a chilling fictional story that takes the reader inside the hearts and minds of a violent terrorist cell. Based around the Terrorist Task Force the story is a rollercoaster ride of frighteningly real events across America and the UK. The story is the first of three that follow the lead agent John Tankersley, AKA, Tank. The plot has been described as worryingly good. Controversy and violence are never far away when Tank and the Task Force are around.

From the Author
Hi I am the Author Conrad Jones, thank you for looking at my title Soft Target. There has been some comments made about the grammer and typo`s in the manuscript, which I can only apologise for as you have recieved uncorrected first editions of the book !!! I am reliably informed that they have been resolved in later editions however there are still some stocks of the Proofs lurking about in warehouses all over the place. I suppose on the bright side they will be worth more than the bog standard perfected scripts one day !! Any way I hope you enjoy the story and then read part two which should be out soon with no typo`s and perfect grammer....ps there is no E in Author!thanks again for your time...Conrad

5.0 out of 5 stars Good starter for five, 30 April 2008
By Michael Watson "skirrow22" (Halifax, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
A new author, a current terror topic and a fast-moving storyline. As a debut novel, the author has managed to create a scenario, mainly set in the UK which conveys to the reader just how easy it would appear to be to put in place a plan to hit 'soft targets' to cause maximum injury to innocent people.

That his team of anti-terrorist members deals with these so-called 'freedom fighters' in as harsh a way as possible seems a reasonable and appropriate response! The body count is enormous and perhaps glossed over a little too easily but, nontheless, I enjoyed the book and hope that the author can develop his characters as we progress through the next stories he has lined up for us.

I believe there are to be three books featuring this elite team. I look forward to the next.

I couldn't in all honesty knock off a star for the terrible proof-reading within the book but it does rankle when you're trying to follow the story and basic editing mistakes crop up. I did, at first, think I'd bought an uncorrected proof but apparently not!

Wow a new author and such a good first book.I was asked to read this by a family member,and I was pleasantly surprised. Shame about the typos but a very good book. Characters are very exciting and real, also great to see book like this set in places we can visualise.I cannot wait for the next book and wish Conrad Jones the very best and thank him for an excellent read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Supurb action thriller/ scary stuff, 21 Aug 2008
By Mohamed (Blackburn) - See all my reviews
My book was perfect...no typos and the like. The story is exciting from page one, packed full of information that makes the characters more likeable and very believable. The scenarios are realistic, frighteningly simple and made me completly paranoid!! I`m about to order the second part as soon as I have finished this review. The book is completly unputdownable !!! Buy it.
