From the depths of tragedy, a relentless assassin emerges to battle injustice.
Embraced by the Olympus Project, a clandestine organization dedicated to fighting injustice, the Phoenix becomes the embodiment of swift and unyielding retribution.

Box Set 1 includes the first three books in The Phoenix Series

The Olympus Project
Brought back from the precipice of oblivion and armed with a new identity, a ruthless assassin discovers his true calling within the enigmatic Olympus Project. This clandestine organization, dedicated to eradicating injustice, presents the perfect arena for his singular talents.

Gold, Silver, & Bombs
As the world converges on London for the 2012 Olympics, the city pulses with excitement and trepidation. Amidst the grandeur of the Games, an unseen danger lurks in the shadows, threatening to shatter the illusion of security.

Nothing Is Ever Forever
In this pulse-pounding thriller, the indomitable Phoenix faces a race against time as detectives Hounsell and Wheeler reemerge, navigating a treacherous landscape from the flood-ravaged Somerset Levels to the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. With the Royal family in the crosshairs of suicide bombers, the stakes have never been higher.

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.

    This is so very fast paced trilogy. The characters and plots are incredible. The editor needs to do a little more justice by the writer by cleaning up the typos and word omio throughout. Also a few scenes were apparently misplaced. Overall, I look forward to reading more from this very capable and spellbinding author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Four stars BUT...
    Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I can see how some Americans can be off put in this book, but if you give it a chance it is very good. The author is English, and thus the book is very heavy on British idioms which made it s slow read for me.

    This book is what I would call a transitional book. It starts off with our old pal phoenix, then for a long while seems to forget all about him and the Olympia project. Just about when you have given up all hope of hearing any more about them they reappear. The reason is simple, the Author is fleshing out some new characters for future instalments.

    Over all a great story and a fine read

    I loved the books but had a hard time reading them because of the grammar and punctuation errors. The first two were not that bad, just a few errors that would frustrate me, but the third book was full of grammar errors, from placing commas in the middle of where they didn't belong, leaving them out where they did belong, using semicolons in the middle of nowhere, and especially incomplete sentences... words just totally left out. Other than that, they were good books that could bring you to the edge of your seat, but like I said, the third one became very frustrating.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Secret Society Brings Vigilante British Justice In the United Kingdom
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    The Phoenix Series (Books 1-3) are a fascinating and fast moving series of connected vigilante events set in the UK that illustrate the need for better policing, criminal justice, and vetting of immigrants in the British nation and society as described in this series of books. A secret society, The Olympus Project, has undertaken an effort to fill the void left by official government law enforcement and criminal justice agencies, including the court system and the prison system, under current British law. The reader is given a lesson in British history, current British law and the current British criminal justice system with all its flaws in an effort to justify the need for the Olympus Project members who work tirelessly to right the wrongs left by the official British government law enforcement agencies.

    Watching the budget cuts and modern politics destroy their perceived view of the country’s security a privately funded group builds it’s own alternative secret service. Whether you agree with the concept of a private sector army or not this makes a great series.

    Reviewed in France on March 11, 2022

    I read the prologue to this volume of three first, Phoenix, conception gives the necessary background to understanding Colin Bailey, aka Phoenix, and I recommend it. The events in these books are all written around real events - the London Olympics, the flooding in the Somerset Levels (a disaster for the people living in that part of southern England) and the Queen's Royal Jubilee visit to Bristol. Colin is believed dead by the police, but is, in fact recruited by a super secret organisation dedicated to dealing with the criminals that are the worst of human society that the police either can't deal with, or the courts are far too lenient with, as well as keeping the country safe. i can imagine that the meticulous planning necessary might seem a mite tedious for those who like their exciting action non stop, but for me, it helps the excitement of the mission build. At the end of book 3, an era in the organisation ends, and a new one is about to begin in book 4. I'm looking forward to reading volume 4-6.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good sophisticated vigilante thriller
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 26, 2019

    The theme is that a well funded group of former soldiers operate in secret to avenge and prevent crimes.

    Within this theme there are well paced individual episodes where our heroes take revenge (e.g. executing a serial paedophile given a community service sentence) or prevent atrocities undetected by the police or MI5 (e.g. an attempted assassination of the Queen.

    The 3 books hold the attention. I shall need a pause before attempting Book 4 as it could become repetitive.
