Summary
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. Smith, also the editor of 2000 AD, has written two previous novels for Abaddon and Black Flame and the comics series Dredd Year One for IDW. Ewing is the author of The Fictional Man for Solaris and five novels for Abaddon. Carrol is the YA author of Quantum Prophecy and The New Heroes series.

Borag Thungg Earthlets!
How I remember waiting for the latest edition of 2000AD to drop through our front door every week. It had Harlem Heroes, Flesh and a re-vamped Dan Dare all preceded by Tharg's traditional welcome. Out of all of the stories and the heroes it contained though Judge Dredd is the most celebrated. The toughest character in the toughest of environments, Mega-City One. The unique brand of the dystopian background and the Judges with their utterly ruthless dispensation of justice never failed to excite. Of course, it's always risky when such nostalgic icons are re-visited, after all, who can forget the awful 1995 film which probably gives Sylvester Stallone nightmares to this day.
This audiobook though is in a completely different class, each of the authors has captured the spirit of the story very well though I would say stories two and three by Ewing and Carroll probably capture the madcap comic book vibe of the original slightly better than Smith's opener.
Jordan Harold does a great, deep-throated Dredd and the whole thing breezes past extremely quickly. This is one I'd definitely recommend to those who enjoyed the comic-book version and I hope there will be more to come!

Mega City One Epic Tales waiting to be told
This Audiobook was admittedly a risk when I purchased it, however the 3 stories although arguably short but well written and attention seeking with a totally engrossing performance from the narrator, so when are more of these Judge Dredd stories going to get the audible treatment!

Dredds voice is hard to do!
Dredds voice is hard to do, but easy to overdo. I think the narrator did a great job. I was really impressed with the division between the very similar voices of Joe Dredd and his brother Rico. it really gave the little extra touch to show what divides the brothers!
the story was entertaining too, could not stop listening. familiar and good 2000ad quality!

Great memories of a childhood read!!!
What a great way to revive those 1980's comic book hero's we all moved. I remember Dredd & Rico slugging it out within the pages of Tharg's 2000 AD edition. A well read story which helped immerse the listener within the world of Megacity One.
Well worth it!

Good fun
I rated this pretty high, but it deserved to be. I am not saying its highbrow literature that should be studied, but it is the most fun I have had from a book I have listened to in a while. The narration was great and Dredd sounded like I would expect Dredd to sound.
Each of the three tales are fine additions to the stories I was familiar with from reading 2000ad in my youth. The last story in the book being the most impressive.
Highly recommend to anyone that is a fan of the comics.
