The King of Control: Book 5 of the Van Diemen Chronicles

In Tasmania, Rex Golding and his Red Guards controls the city of Launceston, a badly scarred Sev Walker tries to build a new life in the small community of Ulverstone and the Professor mistakenly insults Maz Wyndham in such a way that could bring total destruction to the city of Hobart. All of this occurs as the citizens of Melbourne begin to learn the truth about the origins of their cult and Saad Dean and his allies fan the flames of civil unrest through the ideology of free energy and a moneyless society.
