Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
In the orbiting studios of Outer Hollywood, Rick Deckard is involved in the production of a movie based on his exploits as a blade runner in Los Angeles. But his brief entry into the everyday world is cut short when violence and death once again enfold him. From Mars to Scapa Flow, Deckard and his fellows in the dark and somber world of Blade Runner film and books--must struggle with unseen forces, tangled skeins of intrigue, and confusion. Deckard himself must sort through replicants, enigmatic difficulties with interstellar colonists, the thought-to-be-defunct Tyrell Corporation, and a mysterious child who seems to hold the keys to all the puzzles. In the newest continuation of the cult movie, Jeter extends his own exploration of the nature of humanity. In a splendid tribute to the work of Philip K. Dick, Jeter captures the tenor of Dick's vision and augments it with his own ingenuity. Dennis Winters

From Library Journal
Jeter follows up his Blade Runner 2: The Edge of Human (Bantam/Spectra, 1995) with the continuing saga of Rick Deckard, created by the late Philip K. Dick and immortalized on film by Ridley Scott. While consulting on a film about his life, the weary android-hunter Deckard becomes embroiled in a clandestine delivery of a talking briefcase to insurgent replicant androids and the discovery of a ten-year-old girl who is the key to the Tyrell Corporation's slogan, "More human than human." Jeter captures Dick's original darkness and sends his characters through their dismal world with aplomb. Highly recommended for sf collections and for fans of Dick's books and the film.

Format:Taschenbuch
The book could be condensed and made more enthralling without Jeter's constant references to the first two installments of the trilogy. This is especially true in the beginning of the book.
I wouldn't recommend it to die hard BR (movie) fans as it lacks the depth of the original. While the movie embellished existing technology and explored moral and philosophical questions surrounding it, this book is more of a fantasy/action story.
Nor will it be of much interest to someone new to the BR universe. Despite Jeter's constant references to past events, you really need to know the original story and how the characters fit into it.
That said, it's a decent read with some interesting plot twists towards the end. So, if you like sci-fi and have a casual interest in BR, this book may be of some interest to you.

All the characters were familiar and that can be a big draw in reading a work in a series. There's a feeling of comfort since you know them, even if you don't particularly find them attractive.
The opening will be confusing if you don't know the characters and maybe will be anyway. It jumps from a scene being filmed to the action and back again. In the end you see the same cast as the original movie doing pretty much the same stuff as before.
I found the book to be tedious as he retold old scenes from the movie and wove them into the new plot. I would rather have had new material covering new ground entirely, but that is a personal preference.
I did not finish this book completely and probably will not do so.
Format:Taschenbuch
Jeter is very good at incorporating noir into sci fi, and that is certainly true in both Replicant Night and Edge of Human. The novels follow the storyline of the film, but in flavor, if not in plot, are more similar to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
Unfortunately, I'm more of a Ridley Scott fan. I found Jeter's portrayal of the characters wholly unsympathetic. That's pretty much par for Jeter (or Dick for that matter), but it really bothered me in this case. About the only exception was Sebastian, but even he was too much like his dim-witted counterpart in DADOES. I also wished he'd gotten in the heads of the replicant characters more. I really would like to have known what was going through Rachael's head as her life slipped away, but Jeter doesn't give her any voice at all.
When all is said and done, though, I suspect I'd also have problems if a more cinematic author had written the Blade Runner novels. Though they might be truer to Scott's vision, they would leave out too much of Dick's.

The True Sequel
This book is simply superb! I loved it from start to finish! The plot carries on from the last book seamlessly and I loved the way Roy Batty was included in the story. K.W. Lesen Sie weiter...

Let the movie go, already
K.W. Jeter is an exceptional and creative author. His first sequel to BR, The Edge of Human, was almost flawlessly Phildickian and definitely fascinating. Lesen Sie weiter...

Too fancy with weak science fiction.
This book is not lost scenes from the movie. It would be hard to be further from it. There is an annoying habit of trying to use as many of the original characters as possible. Lesen Sie weiter...

Strong Scifi!!!
In a smooth fashion, Jeter combines elements of the film "Bladerunner" with some of the concepts of Philip K. Dick. Lesen Sie weiter...
