Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ted Tayler is the international best-selling indie author of the Freeman Files and Phoenix series. Ted lives in the English West country, where his stories are based. He was born in 1945 and has been married to Lynne since 1971. They have three children and four grandchildren.

His thought-provoking mysteries appeal to readers of Sally Rigby, Joy Ellis, Pauline Rowson, and Faith Martin. His action-packed thrillers are a must for fans of Mark Dawson and J C Ryan.

Gus Freeman’s cold case investigations are carried out with reasoned deduction rather than bursts of frantic action. In each of the 24 books, unsolved murders are accompanied by romance, humour, and country life. The core message in the 12 Phoenix novels is that criminals should pay for their crimes. Unfortunately, the current system fails to deliver the correct punishment, so Phoenix helps redress the balance.

    It is difficult to convey how one must operate sub-rosa in order to achieve a vigilante mission. Even more difficult to complete such a mission. While Tayler covers the bases, the personal emotional component is difficult to convey if you haven't been there. Steppo

    Athena and Phoenix have their hands full with this one. In this 5th book, it has a lot of action, intrigue, and suspense. With Athena and Phoenix as a couple, they are a good team. Very smart too. All the characters are very strong and very resourceful, they know what to do as a team in Larcome Manor. This is an awesome book as well as the others in the series, I highly recommend them all, there's twelve of them. You will never be disappointed, kudos to the author. I will be reading all of his books, can't wait!

    Tayler has created a 5th book in the Phoenix series, and I have read every one. Each one is better than the last, and very hard to put down. The story is a grand, well-flowing and pace appropriate story, with every word allows for the anticipated next word to come. It's a great journey into the Olympus project, and the celebration of life, and devastation of treachery. Tayler is a genius at character development. I am a fan of Tayler and of the Phoenix.

    I received this book free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. ~Amy's Bookshelf Reviews

  • Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2016
    “The Price of Treachery” is the fifth book in the Phoenix series and I’m pleased to say I found it as enjoyable as the first four. Ted Tayler manages what many authors fail to do; he keeps his reader engaged and invested in the activities of his characters over five books. Not only is Phoenix a complex and fascinating character, the Olympus Project itself undergoes dramatic changes.
    Picking up from the previous book, the suspicion that members of the guiding body of the Olympus Project, the Titans, are preparing a coup becomes concrete. Phoenix and Athena must gather all their resources to discover who the traitors are. Once their identities are known the Olympians must unite to prevent the violent takeover of the government, throwing the world into confusion.
    Fast paced, intricate, and very well detailed, Tayler takes the heroes on a journey that challenges their existence. Failure is not an option since it would mean the collapse of the organization Erebus had so diligently managed for years. Underneath it all is Phoenix’s desire to avenge the murder of his patron.
    Characters from the past and new characters pepper the pages raising the tension throughout. Ending with a conclusion that satisfies while leaving room for a sequel, Tayler weaves a tale of political intrigue that could be taken from today’s CNN reports. I received a copy of this book for an honest and unbiased review and I am happy to do that. It’s a delight to review a book I have enjoyed so much.

    Downloaded Ted Tayler’s latest book in the “Phoenix Series” earlier today and have just spent the day reading it! As I have said in reviews of his earlier books, they are hard to put down. Ted Tayler continues to write about topics that seem to be common place in the news and the storylines develop at quite a pace. His characters all seem highly credible and the plots likewise. I look forward to the next instalment!

    Reviewed in Canada on April 15, 2017
    When those in authority let us down we feel cheated and want to see justice done. However, should we take matters into our own hands? Ted Taylor, along with an exciting cast of characters takes us into a world where good does triumph but shows how it could turn evil. An exciting read.
