The Books
 Pictured here
are the two different covers to the book Do Androids Dream of Electric
Sheep that have hit the press since 1982's release of the film.
Though the film has little to do with the original text, it did
stay true to the feel of the first book. It follows the actions of
android bounty hunter Rick Deckard as he hunts down a group of escaped
androids.
FYI: The title of the film was actually borrowed from a book,
Blade Runner: (a movie), written
by William Burroughs. |
 Released
in 1982, the Blade Runner Fotonovel
is not based on DADoES, but the film. It is decorated with a plethera of
stills from the film. Though it isn't in any way a literary classic,
it is a nice piece of BR history to own.
To find your own copy of the Fotonovel, just venture over to
EBAY's
and watch the new auctions as they come in.

 After a reported
conflict with the gentlemen at the Blade
Runner Partnership, the much anticipated sequel to Blade
Runner by K.W. Jeter was released in 1995.
The
Edge of Human follows in the style of PKD, but also follows
the story line from the film.
Although at first it was difficult to get
into due to so much detail, after the second chapter I was hooked.
The Edge of Human was
well worth the wait. The greatest of the books virtues is it's way
of finally answering the question as to if Deckard is a replicant.
This has of course been a great source of contoversy on the news group.

 When I finished
reading The Edge of Human,
I already had possession of my copy of Blade Runner 3: REPLICANT
NIGHT. Still following in the footsteps of Dick's style,
Jeter once again tells a story filled to the brim with angst and paranoia.
After finishing this book, I can only hope for another installment.
Replicant Night *fared very well at the book stands, and the paperback
edition of REPLICANT
NIGHT appeared in November 1997 and is still in print today.
This leaves a heavy question, will there be more?
Well, for us BR fans, Mr. Jeter, we sure hope so Mr. Jeter.
