“Blade Runner 2: The Edge of
Human”
K.W. Jeter
Bantam Books
It’sbeen 13 years since the movie
“Blade Runner” flashed onto the
big screen, with Harrison Ford as
Rick Deckard, Daryl Hannah as a
Pris replicant, Rutger Hauer as the
deadly Roy Batty replicant and Sean
Young as the beautifully mysteri
ous Rachael.
“Blade Runner” was also based
on Philip K. Dick’s novel, “Do
Androids Dream of Electric
Sheep?” and the book conflicts with
some elements of the movie.
“The Edge of Human” is more
of a sequel to “DADES?” than of
the movie “Blade Runner”; but if
you’ve seen “Blade Runner” (ei
ther the director’s cut or the regular
version), you can follow the book
with just a few points.
And it is worth it. Well, well
worth it.
Sebastian, the kooky little in
ventor, is still alive and was not, as
implied in the film, killed by Roy.
He plays a fairly large part in “The
Edge of Human.” He has had three
limbs amputated and is wandering
around with a monstrosity, who
might better be known as the (some
what) resurrected Pris.
Rachael does have a four-year
life span, as she hoards her time
with Deckard preciously. She is
virtually never seen in “The Edge
of Human.”
Pris, however, was not a
replicant. She was, in fact, a human
who wanted to be a replicant so
badly, she had a somatic conver
sion, taking on the abilities of
replicants. Thus, Deckard is wanted
for murder.
In addition to all of this, Deckard
has been brought back into Los
Angeles by Sarah Tyrell, the suc
cessor to Anson Tyrell, who died at
the Roy Batty replicant’s hands.
Sarah was the gene source for
Rachael.
There was a sixth replicant, and
it is still running free. Bryant said
one was when he first spoke to
Deckard, all the way back in “Blade
Runner” and Deckard only killed...
retired ... four, and one was killed
trying to escape.
That means there is still a
replicant loose in LA.
Add into all of this the fact that
' Deckard’s old partner, Dave
Houlden, has been kidnapped from
the hospital where he was recover
ing from the attack he suffered at
the beginning of “Blade Runner.”
He was kidnapped by Roy Batty
— not the replicant, but the origi
nal. And Batty and Houlden think
they know who the sixth replicant is
— Deckard.
Jeter has a style that entrances,
simplistic yet lushly vivid. His gift
is for forming concrete images, al
though his action can occasionally
become slightly jarring, like the
breakout scene with Houlden and
Batty.
“The Edge of Human” is a non
stop rush, with philosophical con
versations, veiled and unveiled
metaphors, as well as a great deal to
think about.
The idea of a replicant con
spiracy floods this work and im- .
bues it with a touch of Oliver Stone.
It really is a shame that Harrison
Ford and Rutger Hauer are prob
ably too old now to make this into a
movie.
“Blade Runner 2: The Edge of
Human” is one of the best science
fiction books to hit the shelves in
the past year. It is well worth get
ting, at least in paperback (when
that happens), but certainly think
about the hardcover. It is as invigo
rating and as thought-provoking as
anything else with the words “Blade
Runner” on it. —Cliff A. Hicks
