Summary

"The Dictator" by Stephen Marlowe is a science fiction story about the dangerous line between sameness and freedom in a world that looks perfect but hides a disturbing secret. Readers follow Ellaby, a person shaped to be perfectly average, as he gets ready to kill the mysterious Dictator, someone who represents ultimate control. He faces tricky tests and meets people with their own plans along the way. But as his mission goes on, Ellaby realizes he's just a pawn in a bigger game, and taking down the Dictator might not change things as much as he hoped, exposing a society that almost needs someone to be in control.
