But the Phoenix is a mythical bird that dies in a ball of fire and is reborn.
The ball of fire is accompanied by a hail of bullets leaving agents dead, and Scorpion One back at the start with a terrorist on the loose and hunting them.
Joey and Sandy had been sent to oversee the transfer. But the tables are turned as the hunter becomes the hunted. And they try to figure out what his next move will be. Then the bombs start to go off, and the hunt becomes a race against time.
I'm an ex-soldier who also spent a number of years in the Middle East working with an Evangelical Christian relief and development organisation.
I never really thought that I'd be a writer. When I joined the Army I was told that my English grammar wasn't good enough for the unit I really wanted to join (The Royal Military Police) so I ended up working with Helicopters and in a unit where even the troopers had a university education (I didn't even leave school with a decent qualification)
I reckon that a few years in the Army, and then going to the Middle East working with a relief and development group kind of gives a unique perspective on things. I reckon it's reflected in my writing. An ability to 'look behind what's happening and give a unique perspective reflected in the stories I write.
So far, most of the stories are the military action adventure type of stories that people enjoy, but there are a couple that raise some challenging questions to think about.
