About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

"It's Hollywood quality for your ears." (Mega City Book Club Podcast)

"Some of the most iconic images from the story are brought to life well, and the black humour that permeates the best Dredd tales comes through loud and clear." (Sci Fi Bulletin)

"This might be the most accurate representation of Judge Dredd's world seen outside of the comics themselves." (Pop Culture Bandit)

If this was just the America story it would be fantastic but the 'Prologue' and 'Epilogue' muddy the story.

It would have better if the 'Epilogue' followed the Benny story at least but as it is. It is a neat story made worse by add ons.

Two many stories in one

Great adaptations of several Judge Dredd stories which appeared in the pages of 2000AD and the Megazine, America being far the best. Let down slightly by Joseph Fiennes unconvincing effort of voicing Dredd. My only other criticism is the high price of such a short audio book when compared to other Audible books. I feel all four should have been issued as one collection for the same price and would have given a reasonable length book

Excellent stories from the world of Judge Dredd

America is a hard core story in the dreddverse its a defused look on many current world issues set in the world of Megacity 1 & beyond with interesting twists at it heart to get you thinking.

Again the voices here are on from accompanied by the sounds & music this series is looking to be epic.

This is one of the iconic stories from the Dredd series and this was a great rendition of it. The use of different actors and the background sound effects really immerse you into the story. My only criticism is the voice of Dredd himself. He is not the gravelly gruff no nonsense Dredd we expect but sounds like a gentrified version of his former self. Could just be me but that criticism aside a fantastic audiobook

One of the classic Dredd stories
