Trapped on Titan was deliberately engineered to showcase the "mind's eye" of audio; to demonstrate something that a Big Finish play could do that was a physical impossibility in the original Judge Dredd comic. Dredd, we are told, cannot be shown without his helmet, and so I wrote an entire story in which he wanders around out of uniform. It's audio, you fill in your own pictures (and Alan Barnes insisted that we also imply his face had been temporarily changed). So if you want to see his face as Clint Eastwood's, as Sylvester Stallone's, as Vin Diesel's, take your pick.

It also contains a number of references to the fantastic prison TV-show, Oz, which not a single reviewer spotted. 2000 ad continuity spotters may enjoy noticing how I found a narrative fix to explain the different ways that Titan breathing apparatus has been employed over the years. You can read more about Trapped on Titan in my Megazine interview.

It's the most hellish place in the Solar System - a prison for the Earth's worst criminals. Now Titan is under new management - a cabal of two-faced spin doctors intent on bleeding the inmates dry.

But something is out there on the freezing plains of Titan. For thirty years, people have committed murder to keep it quiet, but now its secret has escaped. Time is running short for Titan, and Dredd alone can stop the killing.

The future of the Earth is at stake, and Dredd must go into the prison undercover. He must walk among serial-killers and mass-murderers to find the answer to the puzzle, before he spends the rest of his life Trapped on Titan!
