The first Judge Dredd novel., 14 Feb 2007

By	dogbarkssome (England) - See all my reviews

Judge Dredd makes the transition from the comicbook page to the novel in this first of a short-lived series of original novels from Virgin Publishing. The story concerns a particularly hectic day in the life of Dredd, as an old villain hatches a plot to revenge themselves on the Judges, with Dredd having to survive numerous challenges (including a virus killing the clone Judges, an orbital housing development on a crash course for Mega-City One, and pro-democracy terrorists hijacking the majoral elections) before he finally confronts the villain of the piece.

In terms of characterisation this is rather thin, and the novel doesn't really dig any deeper into Dredd and his world than the comic strip does, but David Bishop does well to capture the satirical comedy and general madness of life in Mega-City One, and the adventure is so fast-paced that the reader doesn't have time to dwell on the ultimately rather thin plot, or the slightly cheesy megolomaniac villain, with the rather predictable climax being the only real dissapointment of the book.

By no means a classic of science fiction, but as a frantic action-packed pulp adventure this works well enough. 'The Savage Amusement' may not expand the character but it does at least prove that Dredd can transfer to the novel format succesfully. Good fun.
