New Dredd Novella Kicks of Year Three With Fallen Angel
Reading time: 2 minutes
Judge Dredd: Year Three - Fallen Angel is out on 26 August in print (£7.99) and ebook (£2.99/$3.99) from the 2000 AD webshop and apps, as well as Amazon. The limited print edition is available to order exclusively from the 2000 AD webshop.
The brand new cycle of the hit Judge Dredd novella series begins with the still-fresh lawman having to help a Special Judicial Squad (SJS) investigator who once tried to send him to join his corrupt clone brother, Rico, on the off-world penal colony of Titan!
The SJS is the brutal internal investigations division of Justice Department, tasked with keeping the Judges on the straight and narrow - but who watches the watchmen?
After Rico’s murderous malfeasance was exposed, SJS Judge Marion Gillen staked her reputation on proving that his brother, Judge Joe Dredd, was just as corrupt — and lost.
A year later, Gillen is now on the run from her own division, and must navigate a world of secrets and lies. She approaches the stolid, inflexible young Judge she once tried to bust — two years out of the Academy and already making a name for himself — and finds he may be the only person in the city she can really trust…
With an in-depth knowledge of the strip's history and a keen eye for character, Michael Carroll has established himself as one of the main writers on the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD. He has written extensively for the 'Year' series of prose Judge Dredd novellas and is also the writer and series editor of the Judges novella series, which explores the fall of democracy in the United States of America and the creation of the Judge system. The graphic novel collection of his Judge Dredd "stealth epic", Every Empire Falls, is out now.
Beginning in 2012 with Judge Dredd: Year One - City Fathers, this on-going series of novellas has seen authors Matthew Smith, Michael Carroll, Al Ewing, and Cavan Scott exploring Dredd’s earliest days on the mean streets of Mega-City One after his graduation from The Academy of Law.
Weaving through Dredd lore, these fascinating and hard-hitting prose bullets are perfect for readers looking to dive into the Dredd’s madcap, dystopian world. Published in ebook, along with limited print editions available from the 2000 AD webshop, these novellas take you inside the head and out on the beat of the future’s greatest lawman like never before!
