The second volume of the series reveals the consequences of a swift justice system, where crime escalates and unrest threatens society. JUDGES Volume Two explores these challenges.
In JUDGES Volume Two, Eustace Fargo's revolutionary justice system has been in place for eight years, promising a swift and efficient approach to law enforcement. Gone are the days of lengthy waiting periods and overwhelming backlogs; now, judgments are made quickly, and sentences are delivered instantly. However, this new system raises questions about its effectiveness. As crime rates soar and unrest spreads, the streets are more dangerous than ever, and the public is left wondering if true justice has been achieved.
Despite the advancements, the reality is grim. Criminals are increasingly resorting to violence rather than facing the consequences of their actions. The fear of capture has diminished, leading to a surge in crime and a palpable sense of chaos. The narrative unfolds in a dystopian United States in 2041, where the promise of a new order has not translated into safety for its citizens. Instead, it has set the stage for an impending war on the streets.
JUDGES Volume Two is the second installment in a gripping series that delves into the early history of the powerful Judges from the iconic 2000 AD universe. This volume continues to explore the complexities of justice and the moral dilemmas faced by those in power, raising critical questions about the balance between order and chaos in a society on the brink of collapse.
“Each story is quickly devoured, packed with twists and brutal political analogy. This is the rise of fascism, eerily familiar and terrifyingly plausible… this is the Justice Department as The Wire, and it really works.” -- Starburst Magazine * Starburst Magazine *
“I enjoyed this book, although it made me nervous. I loved the conflict it caused in me. It’s fast-paced and uncompromising, keeping true to the essence of the Judges.” -- The British Fantasy Society * The British Fantasy Society *
