SETTING
Larcombe Manor is the Olympus Project HQ several miles northwest of Bath. The true nature of the organisation is hidden from the outside world. The Charity Commission believes the Manor is home to service personnel suffering from PTSD who are treated at the Manor until they’re ready to return to duty or civilian life. Larcombe is the family home of Commodore William Horatio Hunt OBE, and he is the senior Olympus agent on site: code name Erebus.

PRAISE FOR TED TAYLER:
"Tayler's intrigue is timely given world events. I can easily see the premise being real.”
“Vigilantes motivated by hope for a better world. Justice delivered where the system fails."
“Characters using their personal tragedies as motivation to fix the world."
"Spinning a tale of fear and violence straight from world headlines."

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent action.
Reviewed in Australia on 19 June 2017

This story is a cross between James Bond and Jack Reacher all the excitement of a spy novel but with much less moral rules and just enough sex to keep it interesting. I will definitely be looking for and reading the previous Colin Bailey stories by this author and I can't wait to read the next in the The Phoenix Series.

What an awesome book! The storyline brings out interesting characters, intrigue, and lots of action. This book is the first of twelve in The Phoenix Series, I will definitely be reading all of them. The continuation follows from one to the other, from the first , second, third etc. I highly recommend them all, it's never disappointing when the author is so talented, Ted Tayler.

Reviewed in Spain on 17 June 2022

An organisation who's members believe that justice is not being served in many cases decide to take actions of their own. The author has a lot of knowledge regarding security actions and the storyline moves fast. However I believe it is very similar to an older story called, I think, The Just Men.
