Blade Runner 4 (Gollancz Sf S.) ReviewI found this in the bargain bin in W H Smith and read it reluctantly. In the last year I've read it about 3 times. It really is quite good.
It concerns a female blade runner, top of her game, who is asked to find Tyrell's owl - the one you see in the movie. Her investigations lead her to loose her job and set her on a quest for answers all over futuristic LA and deep down into the ruined Tyrell corporation (which was blown up in an earlier book). Unbeknown to her, she is being filmed (in order to create a movie!) and all her actions are being pushed towards a final conclusion in which she realises the truth about the replicant program - what its real purpose was - (not to serve the off-world colonies), and the truth about herself - why she is such a good blade-runner and why she looks like Tyrell's niece, Rachel...
It's been a long while since I read BR 2 & 3. I remember the second one being quite interesting and the third being so awful I wanted to burn it and wash my hands with acid soap.
However, in this novel the characters are set in the same universe as Blade Runner but they are far enough removed from the original book to be able to invent them whole new agendas. And the purpose behind the replicant program is both stunning and believable - and something the film never dealth with (or needed to). You remember that Roy Batty killed Tyrell by squeezing out his eyes? When you find out WHY he killed him that way - you will be bowled over. Third sequels (as films or books) usually suck but I cannot reccomend this one enough. Sure, there are some exceptionally annoying monologues as plot-advancement devices that make you want to scream - but it's worth pushing past them.Blade Runner 4 (Gollancz Sf S.) OverviewFully authorised by the estate of Philip K. Dick and written by the author they felt best equipped to take forward the vision of one of the great names in SF, "Blade Runner 4: Beyond Orion" combines the dark imagery, paranoia, tension, and pace of Dick's original novel and the cinematic genius of Ridley Scott in a novel that takes the "Blade Runner" series into a new millennium. "Blade Runner" has become one of the most recognisable and well loved brands in SF and K.W. Jeter has only added to its reputation and impact.
