The RegulatorsCall him Bachman or call him King, the bard of Bangor is going to hit the charts hard and vast with this white-knuckler knockout. -- starred, "Publishers Weekly" The action is fierce and Bachman's imagination proves boundless. -- "Library Journal" Everything is normal on a summer day in Wentworth, Ohio -- the paperboy is making his rounds, frisbees are flying, barbecues are being contemplated. The only thing that doesn't quite fit is the red van idling up the hill on Poplar Street. Soon it will roll and the killing will begin. And by the time night falls, the survivors of Poplar Street will find themselves in another world. . . |
