The Regulator

The Regulator examines the opportunistic nature of power and its capacity for good or evil. Set in an imagined but wholly credible future, it moves through a series of vividly described events in which the main character is pitched into the uncertain and dangerous world of revolutionary politics with a background of experimental technology and pyschology. The use of sophisticated weapons and machines help to develop the plot, in which the noble-minded yet impressionable young hero is pitched against formidable adversaries, and has to wrestle with the natural temptations of the human psyche. An alternative universe, but one which will be recognisable from historical as well as contemporary developments.
