Judge Dredd: The Early Years

Paul Strader is a stick-up man - a stone cold professional who never goes unarmed and never gets attached. But when he gets in over his head with some dangerous people, he's forced to risk everything on the word of a corrupt lawman - a smirking, big-chinned bully named Judge Dredd.

Dredd's the lynchpin in a daring, explosive heist that breaks every rule Strader has - every rule but one...

But everything is not as it seems. When the reason for the raids becomes clear, Dredd will have some tough decisions to make.

Mega-City One, 2081, Joe Dredd’s second year on the streets as a full-eagle Judge. He’s got the experience, he’s done the sked-time,

but no Judge is infallible – all it takes is one bad day, and all those years of training can disappear in the simple pulling of a trigger. 

A routine arrest, an ambush, an explosion. The perp’s down, but Dredd is bleeding and burned, his Lawmaster is destroyed, and he’s in a bad part of town with no backup. For the first time in his career, he’s truly alone...

Someone’s killing journalists, and with the mayoral elections looking to set Mega-City One on fire, the pressure’s on Judge Joe Dredd – two years out of the Academy, and already a legend – to find the killer. Or killers; as the bodies mount up, the confessions come on just as fast, and according to Psi-Division, they’re all sincere – and all impossible…

A year ago, SJS Judge Marion Gillen staked her reputation on proving that Joseph Dredd was as corrupt as his brother Rico—and lost.

Now, on the run from her own division, navigating a world of secrets and lies, Gillen finds the stolid, inflexible young man—two years out of the Academy and already making a name for himself—is the only person in the city she can really trust...

Droids! They’re everywhere; they clean for you, cook for you, grow your food. But don’t they deserve rights like everyone else?

Following up on rumours of an unlicensed robo-surgeon, Judge Joseph Dredd uncovers a growing robot revolution... and the mek-hating humans who want to stop them at all costs.
