Description
In Mega-City One, the Judges are the law - acting as judge, jury, and executioner. But how do the citizens really feel about a system where they are powerless?
America Jara and Bennett Beeny grow up as best friends, living a fairly trouble-free life in a dangerous city... bar the odd, negative encounter with a Judge. Time draws them apart, and when they are brought back together, Beeny is a successful singer and America has become involved with a terrorist organisation known as Total War, which has the Justice Department in its sights!
This dark and complex tale is considered to be one of the best stories to ever come out of the Judge Dredd universe.
Featuring Joseph Fiennes as Dredd, and an ensemble cast including Paterson Joseph, and Matthew Jacobs Morgan, fans of Judge Dredd and newcomers to Mega City One alike will be transported to brutal dystopian world Dredd for an immersive listening experience like no other.

Outstanding audiobook featuring the one person you would not want to meet if you get caught jaywalking 😱 doesn’t matter if you are a judge dredd or 2000ad fan this is a highly entertaining story that is excellently narrated and a joy to listen to

This is the first audiobook I've listened to in this style. It's almost like listening to a TV show or film. Lots of characters with different narrators and lots of sound effects and background music/noise. This would be a great listen on a long journey that all the family could enjoy. Very dramatic, lots of fun and a great storyline.

In Mega-City One, the judges rule and democracy is a dirty word. But a rebellion is brewing and the Judges don’t want change. Some citizens are willing to do anything for that change, but resistance can be merciless especially when the Judges are determined to cling to their power and stamp out revolution. You don’t want to cross Dredd, he will make sure that you never dream of freedom again!
I had requested this audiobook as I was intrigued at the cast dramatisation idea and I felt it worked really well. I don’t think it would’ve interested me so much if it had been a straight narration of the graphic novel. The ensemble casts voices blend in really well with each other, and it’s expertly produced with effects and music that are perfectly suited to the story.
Not only will this series of audiobooks from 2000AD appeal to die-hard readers, but it will also attract passing fans like myself who just want to listen to something that bit different.
