GRANT, ALAN & WAGNER, JOHN - JUDGE ANDERSON - HOUR OF THE WOLF.2003 TITAN BOOKS
During a routine bust on hoodlums smuggling other hoodlums out of Mega City
One, Psi-Judge Anderson receives cryptic visions of a giant wolf escaping from
a cage and slaughtering people throughout the city. She is actually receiving
the signals from another Psi, a criminal who wants Anderson out of the way. The
Psi takes on a dominatrix form and seduces another judge into poisoning a
prisoner of her choosing. She also gets Anderson shot during another job,
though Anderson that she is facing someone with powerful psychic powers. Her
injuries put Anderson into a coma, so she is given protection by another judge.
The psychic attacker almost corrupts him into attacking Anderson to kill her.
She does this through some other psychic assassins in her employment but the
Psi-crooks are attacked by some of Mega City One’s less desirable citizens
(muggers), so the cop saves Anderson’s life by not giving in. They kill the
muggers and themselves to avoid being discovered by the judges. The chief
assassin herself is still at large. At the cubes (prison cells), the judge
hypnotised by the assassin, Glenny Maxworth administers the poison. It enables
the prisoner to fake his own death. He is Orlok, a serial killer of serious
reputation, who Anderson has fought before. Anderson realizes that Orlok is the
wolf she has seen in her visions. Orlok unites with Glenny. They block Anderson
out as well as they can and go on a killing spree. Anderson, awake, but not
fully cleared as healthy enough for duty, defies orders to give chase
personally. The judges catch Glenny after an exciting car and bike chase.
Anderson gets through Glenny’s psychic defenses to uncover the killer’s
wherabouts. He has faked a helicopter crash and is believed to have fled to
Russia. Once there, he raises an army with the aim of invading Mega City One.
Anderson is ordered to execute Glenny. Exciting but inconclusive material
