About The Book

The second volume of the hit new series exploring the early history of 2000 AD’s all-powerful “Judges.”

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…

“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
