Historie

Phoenix is the true story of intrigue, danger and family loyalty centred within the Northern Ireland Troubles. This is the voice of Detective Superintendent Ian Phoenix and his dedicated journey from paratrooper to police officer. IRA assassinations, covert police and SAS operations, with Booby trap bombers and snipers making the rules of the era.

The audio version of the original best-selling book, narrated by Ian’s son, continues to intrigue and inform listeners about a very different life in Northern Ireland, as it was during those dangerous times.

The family’s lives were wrapped in danger too, but cocooned in love and sustained by Irish humour in an outdoor lifestyle, surrounding their wild coastal home.

Hearing his son's voice read his father's words is nostalgic. It has recaptured a richness to those years in spite of the danger under which the family lived. It provides meat to the anonymous bones of normal life during the Irish "Troubles". Phoenix ultimately describes the disastrous killing of 29 good people in a military helicopter crash that has never been adequately investigated or explained.

Hear how PHOENIX revealed for the first time the undercover war of covert police and SAS operations in an arena where the rules were made by bombers and snipers in the shadows. It tells how the man responsible for almost wiping out the British cabinet was caught, saving the lives of those targeted for death by the IRA.

PHOENIX takes the reader behind the scenes and uncovers shocking details of previously unknown bravery.

It shows how love and real family life can sustain a man during a dangerous career that was part of Irish history.
