About the Author:

Conrad Jones spent 12 years working for the biggest quick service restaurant brand in the world.

On March 20th 1993 the IRA terrorist organization bombed the shopping center outside the restaurant he was managing that day. The experience fueled an interest in the root causes of extremist terrorists and the reasoning why its perpetrators feel justified in taking innocent lives. That incident sparked the story of ‘Soft Target’.

The Journey Home Review:

“The Journey Home” is a satisfying conclusion to the series and equally as good as the first two books.

While the second book was probably my favorite in the series, I enjoyed how the author concluded the series in this book. Once again, I loved the multiple storylines, where Jet targetting Kalu and Kissie on one end, Beb and Amira on a dangerous journey to go home, and Isime and Oke adjusting to their life back in Monguno. This book stood apart from the other two because of Oke and Isime. I adored the humor the author added to their dialogues and how lighthearted some of their conversations were, even amidst the chaos.

Moreover, the author also adds a touch of adventure to each chapter. You think the horrors of the previous two books are over, but our characters are always on the lookout and encounter life-threatening situations. Beb and Amira’s story was also interesting, and I enjoyed Omar as the supporting lead. Similarly, Nazia’s storylines were heartbreaking, and seeing how raw the author described the scenes was shocking.

The only reason why I didn’t enjoy this as much as book two was because of Kalu’s storyline. The earlier books were gripping because they tackled realistic situations that the characters faced, like amidst the Russo-Ukranian War or the challenges they faced in Africa, including a potential pandemic. However, the arc with Jet, while entertaining as it was, felt a tad fictional (like reading a James Bond novel) and didn’t resonate with the series’ theme. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the storyline and found the scenes very entertaining.

Overall, you must read the entire series in order because they are gripping, wonderful, and makes you appreciate life and family. It is one of my favorite series I have read this year!
