Judge Dredd

Year One: Omnibus

By: Matt Smith, Al Ewing, Michael Carroll

Narrated by: Jordan Harold

Mega-City One, 2080. Judge Joe Dredd's first year on the streets as a full-eagle Judge. Bred for justice, trained in law, Dredd's no helpless rookie, but he's not the seasoned veteran we know either. Three tales follow the first adventures of the future city's greatest lawman. With an introduction by the Mighty Tharg!

"City Fathers": The brutal murder of a Justice Department-sanctioned spy uncovers something new and dangerous in the sector's murky black market. Unless Dredd can stop it, chaos will be unleashed.

"Cold Light of Day": A savage killing spree results in the deaths of two highly-regarded Judges, and many consider Dredd to be responsible: a decision he made five years earlier - while he was still a cadet - has come back to haunt him.

"Wear Iron": "Wear iron, that's the rule." Paul Strader is a stick-up man, and a stone cold professional. But when he gets in over his head, he has to risk everything on the word of a corrupt lawman and break every rule he has. Every rule but one....

Author bios: Michael Carroll, Al Ewing and Matthew Smith are three celebrated novelists and Dredd comics writers.

good stuff

3 for 1 for one credit. The audio can be a bit low at times.

Actually a really good story, great performance.

If you like the movies and the comics in the Dredd "universe" these books are quite entertaining. Voice acting is dark and spot on for Dredd. My only critique is that the stories are kind if short and it just kind of ends anticlimacticly.

loved it, didnt wana stop.

Probably my favorite audio book yet. Story and reading were great id listen to 10 more of these. I just wish book two was available in audiobook, but im buying the paper back now.

Grew on me

After the first story I thought this would be a 3 star book. It grew on me though. It got better with every story and I really enjoyed the last one.

The narrator is wonderful and the content is solid

I have severe difficulties with my eyesight and miss out on graphic novels including the awe-inspiring cyberpunk-themed world of Judge Dredd.

Jordan Harold as the narrator has performed an incredible service in delivering this omnibus. I am so appreciative of how well this narration expresses the nuances and tone through attention to detail in the voicing of different characters.

Thank you - I loved the book and you have earned a long-term fan.
