Book description
The Future, America is a irradiated wasteland where, on its East
Coast, lies Mega City - one vast, violent metropolis whose citizens
live in perpetual fear. Imposing order on this urban chaos are the
Judges - judge, jury and executioners rolled into one. Foremost among
them is Dredd who is given a mission to road-rest a rookie Judge - the
powerful psychic Cassandra Anderson. In the course of this training
day, the two Judges head for a seemingly routine homicide in the
notorious Peach Trees mega-block - a 200-story vertical slum run by
the pitiless Ma-Ma clan. When the judges attempt to arrest one of
Ma-Ma's chief henchmen, Ma-Ma shuts down the entire building and
orders her clan to hunt the Judges down. The Judges are now caught in
a vicious and relentless fight for survival.
