5.0 out of 5 stars Nonstop action and suspense as Dredd fights...himself., October 21, 1999

This review is from: Dread Dominion (Judge Dredd) (Paperback)

This is a real thrill ride! Judge Dredd falls into an alternate MegaCity wildly different from his own. This Earth is ruled by an alternate Dredd, "Chief Judge Dread," who's hellbent on destroying our favorite lawman. In turn, "our" Dredd gets caught up in the fight to destroy his power-crazed double. If you've read some of the classic comic story arcs, you'll love seeing just how different things might have been. Packed full of alternate versions of familiar characters, oozing with biotechnology, and not without its share of humor. Don't miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb black comedy SF thriller, June 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dread Dominion (Judge Dredd) (Paperback)

This isn't just the best of the Judge Dreed novels (and it's the best by far, the second being Dreddlocked, also by Stephen Marley), it is possibly the best black comedy SF thriller I have ever read. The pace is breathtaking and the situations and characters continuously inventive, leading up to a brilliant climax. If you don't believe me, just grab a copy and read the first few pages: you'll be knocked back on your heels - and I promise you the pace keeps up to the very end, never flagging. It's criminal that this book hasn't been reprinted (I had to hunt around for a second-hand copy). A must-read book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Judge Dredd vs. Judge Dread, November 17, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Dread Dominion (Judge Dredd) (Paperback)

Dread Dominion is a good book,except it's context is a little absurd.There some terminologies you might not understand if you haven't read the comic book series.
