1990: Book Two1990 A.D. —
AND STATE TYRANNY CRUSHES BRITAIN UNDER A STAINLESS STEEL HEEL...
Get on the wrong side of the Public Control Department in 1990 and they'll make your life a living hell. Cross them up badly enough and they'll even hound you into the grave. Perfectly legally, of course. After all, they write the laws that protect and maintain the privileges of the State bureaucracy that tyrannizes an impoverished Britain of the frighteningly near future. And a nightmare plot to subvert a key feature of democracy — the ballot box — is just one of their sinister schemes.
But even the grey tyranny of the Public Control Department has its undercover opposition. And crusading newsman Kyle is one of the resistance's most skilled operators. His help often comes from unexpected quarters — like attractive Lyn Blake, strategically placed in the hierarchy of the Department. But is Lyn, an old flame of Kyle's apparently rekindled to new heat, to be trusted in the paranoids' paradise of 1990...?
