JUDGES Volume Two

De: Michael Carroll, Joseph Elliott Coleman, Maura McHugh

Narrado por: Laurence Bouvard, Madeleine Rose, Ako Mitchell

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 2041 A.D.

Eustace Fargo's new justice system has been in effect for eight years. The old days of waiting times and backlogs are over: judgement is quick, and sentencing is instantaneous. The old police academies have all shut down, and the new order is triumphant.

But are things any better? Unrest is worse than ever. Criminals are more likely to kill rather than be caught.

There's a war coming for the streets...

1st story is good. 2nd is ok I guess and 3rd

is God awful. you'd think you were listening to propaganda. a lot of the writing feels super forced. nothing against female characters, but the 3rd story just felt like that all female scene in endgame. FORCED!

Interesting take on a classic universe

I don't get all the weird reviews, complaining about politics in a freking Judge Dredd book! Those people have ever read Judge Dredd?
Those are interesting stories from a earlier time in the Judge Dredd universe. Now if you are looking forward to the completely bonkers style of the Dredd Universe you probably should pass this one and may I suggest any other audiobook from this universe.
The narrators are really good, no complaints great job making the voices of each character memorable.
Sound Mixing sounds right to me (I don't know what I am doing)

Lots of garbage

Starts great. First story is really good, and I wish it had been longer. Second story was ok, but not great. Last story was abysmal in every regard. The antagonists in the last story are radical communists trying to kill everyone yet these supposedly fascist judges are, for some reason, completely sympathetic to the communists. While the author makes severely-lackluster attempts at painting the communists as bad guys, it is blatant that the story is being used as a backdrop to push his political leanings on the listener. It is very disjaring. On top of the cringy propaganda, the story itself is convoluted, uninteresting, and just kind of drags on and on. I accidentally skipped forward an entire hour at one point and didn't even notice until much later on. I trudged through most of the last story despite protests from my ears and mental faculties, but I gave up with 30 minutes left. It is a shame that the first and second story are tied to the third one, but I am getting a refund on this one.
