Summary
 Wentworth, Ohio: a small friendly town where the Carver children bicker over sweets in the E-Z shop and writer Johnny Marinville is the only resident who minds his own business.

On Poplar Street, apart from the impending storm, it's just a normal summer's day - with Frisbees flying, lawn mowers humming and barbeques grilling. As the paperboy makes his round, he is unaware of the chrome red van idling up the hill . . .

Soon the residents will be caught up in a game of wills as the regulators arrive in force to face a child whose powers of expression are just awakening.

If you like THE REGULATORS, don't miss DESPERATION, written as an unidentical pair.

Before listening to this I read the only review which did not favour the story. I however found it a fun story and liked it slightly better than its counterpart ‘Desperation’. This version of the Tak saga told in a parallel reality is a treasure waiting for the King / Bachman devotee and as always Frank Muller is an enjoyable reader.

Good fun!

I’m a huge Stephen King fan even if he is writing under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman.
A cleverly constructed story interwoven with its characters in both worlds and times.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook and I can now move into the other novels in the series!
