 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. The title of the film was actually borrowed from a book, Blade Runner: (a movie), written by William Burroughs. |
 After supposed
much conflict with the Blade Runner Partnership, the much anticipated
sequel to Blade Runner by K.W. Jeter was released in 1995. The book
follows the style of PKD, but follows the story line from the film.
It was hard to get into at first, but well worth the wait. Finally
an answer to the question as to if Deckard is a replicant.

 When I finished
reading the first book, I already had possession of my copy of Replicant
Night. Still following in the footsteps of Dick's style, Jeter once
again tells a story filled to the brim with paranoia. After finishing
this book, I can only hope for another installment.
Replicant Night didn't fare well at the book stands, and to my knowledge never reached paper back. This leaves a heavy question, will there be more? Well for us fans Mr. Jeter, I hope so. |
