Tank begins on the banks of the River Dee in the beautiful Roman built city of Chester. An end of term university party is being held on a cruise boat, but the boat is the target of a huge terrorist attack, resulting in the death of hundreds of students. The attacks are laid firmly at the door of Islamic extremists however all is not what it seems. The attack was planned to cover the kidnapping of a Saudi Princess, in an attempt to force up the price of crude oil. Tank and the Terrorist Task Force are called in to lead the investigation. During the plot they stumble over the suspected whereabouts of their Nemesis `Yasser Ahmed`, and their two worlds collide with devastating results. As thriller writers go this guy is right up at the top!! --Turf Book Reviews
Having enjoyed the first book, I was keen to see if the author could produce another book to the same standard...and I wasn't disappointed. The depth of background information is educational and well researched, the story is gripping and the characters are believable and have depth. This is an action packed, fast paced story and I did little else whilst reading it - I couldn't bear to put it down. Congratulations to the author - can't wait for the next one. --Jo Hammond reviews

Bought the first book in the series and totally loved it. This one was just as fantastic. I do not usually read this type of book but cannot put them down. Downloaded the rest and plan on working my way through them. Really starting to get into the characters and love Tank.

This, the second book in the Sort Target trilogy, is another gripping, fast paced story of international terrorism, set primarily in Liverpool. The use of thinly disguised 'celebrities' in the story somehow adds to the book's appeal, and lends a sort of wry humour as the story unfolds in, at times, a very graphic manner.
Conrad Jones is certainly a master story teller. His plotting is eminently plausible and frighteningly topical. His characters are developed in great detail, leaving the reader wanting to hear more and more about their exploits.
Having said all that, I didn't feel that Soft Target 2 was quite up to the standard of Soft Target 1. Other reviewers have commented on the many errors in the use and spelling of words, and I know the author is currently involved in an edit which will doubtless sort out all those issues.They didn't particularly bother me but I know others would find them irksome.
But for me, the story was slowed down in many areas by the regular insertion of wordy descriptive passages, often unnecessarily repetitive. I skipped in excess of 20 Kindle pages when a large part of the 'finale' action from Soft Target 1 was more or less lifted en bloc from that story, when a paragraph of summary would, I feel, have been more appropriate in covering the 'history' of the hero and the villain.
But to put this minor criticism in perspective, it doesn't in any way detract from the huge enjoyment to be gained from Conrad Jones' writing. I have already started Soft Target 3, which shows all the signs of being another superb story, and I have the other 4 books by this author lined up and ready to go. Greater praise cannot be given to a new author than to read his first novel, and, on the strength of that, download his other 6 books, and I would urge all those who enjoy thrilling adventure stories to get to know Conrad Jones, and buy the books at the very friendly current Kindle price.

Woww! I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'The child taker' and 'Soft target l' and just had to read more of Conrad jones' books..he is a very talented author and literally makes the characters come out of the book as you read. He handled the "not to be taken lightly" subject of terrorism well. This book had me hooked from the first page to the last!!

Soft Target ....
Bargain basement book which is very good value. Started off very exciting but became more and more boring because of the surfeit of technical information. Read more

My review
Again like other books from Conrad a gripping yarn and journey into escapism, just wish he would do better research on his weapons. His knowledge on them is truly very poor.
