But this time she's out ot save as many of them as she can. Changed by her experiences, Ash is no longer the same cold, cynical killing machine as she was in 2019. Now she has a new agenda that, if discovered, will make her the enemy of humanity.
When Ash is confronted by an old adversary, one long believed dead, she is drawn into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a Replicatn unlike any she has ever faced before - a Replicant with no fear of death and with a dream to finish off what the Blackout started in 2022...

The city is in chaos, reeling from a replicant uprising led by Yotun - a genetically defective Nexus 6 who has somehow managed to outlive his four-year life span. With Blade Runner Ash his prisoner, the newly completed seawall defenses smashed, and the ruling elite massacred, Yotun's guerilla army of fanatical Replicatns have moved in to take control and realize Yotun's dream of a city of humans ruled by Replicants.
Now it's up to Ash to find a way of escaping and stopping Yotun before he burns the city to the ground and kills the woman she loves.

The city is under siege from Yotun's enhanced Replicant army. Its seawall defenses lie shattered, the LAPD Tower stands ablaze, and the streets run wild with Replicants rebelling against their human masters.
Meanwhile, Blade Runner Ash, now reunited with her Replicant lover Freysa, has become a target of suspicion for the Blade Runner Division. As time begins to run out for Ash, she finds herself in a desperate battle to stop Yotun once and for all before she herself is brought to justice...

Set ten years before the events of the first Blade Runner film, this is the world on the cusp of environmental collapse, and the beginning of the mass Off-world migration to the Off-world colonies.

This year I had intended to only read the anthology Minorty Report and other stories...but then I found a graphic novel version of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? so decided to revist that novel I read a few years ago. Then I couldn't resist the Electric Dreams anthology which I noticed sitting on the library shelf, and by then I figured, why not, lets go with the Blade Runner graphic novels too. Once I start something I tend to find myself more immersed than I intended! But was interesting to compare and contrast the worlds of DADOES? and Blade Runner, supposedly the same story but so very different down even to the point the author/director were trying to get across. And yet both are at the core tales of very broken people trying to survive.
Blade Runner 2019 - In this first trilogy of the series, we have Aahan "Ash" Ashina, a Blade Runner who is hired to do a different kind of job, to locate a rich man's wife and child. Only things are a lot more complicated than that and this job will change her life forever. I really liked the artwork here, so much detail, really capturing the feel of the movie (which was the exact opposite of the empty city in the original Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?). I also found Ash herself to be an interesting character, and the story takes us through twists and turns, and it was an intentional challenge to figure out who was a replicant and who was human, and who out of the two had the most humanity.
Blade Runner Origins - We jump back in time now, in fact interesting how most of these stories actually take place in our 2022 past, though it was a future invention of Philip K. Dick. Let's just say I'm glad we didn't turn out this way, and our robots have a LONG way to go before any human is fooled by one. Here we have Cal Moreaux, also dragged into a job he doesn't want to get involved with. I somehow didn't enjoy the artwork as much, the faces just didn't work for me, and while Ash was cool and cold and scary in her intensity, Cal spends most of his time with angry frustrated grimaces that makes him look like he's got the worst case of constipation ever. However the plot is intruiging, and it covers serious topics, such as gender choices, and being able to be in the body you feel you should be in.
Blade Runner 2029 - We continue Ash's story. In this one she got her job back as a Blade Runner, and she does her duty taking out the dangerous replicants, but also from her experiences in the first trilogy, knows that most replicants just want to live like regular people, and those she guides to a new life through an underground network. But then one replicant gathers a large following, a nearly religious cult thing, and he decides that its time for the replicants to take over. When this one clearly ended without a proper wrap up, it was obvious that there had to be another trilogy in the works, and indeed, there will be a 3039 one but I'll have to wait a bit for them to be published to find out how things end.
Black Lotus - If I understand this was a TV series or something? The graphic novel starts with a summary of what happened up to that point, which for someone who hasn't seen the series made it really felt like I was missing something, both at the start and at the end of the novel. But in the middle at least it was cohesive, a replicant ends up in a town in the middle of nowhere and runs into two groups, the near-criminal corporation running a fracking plant, and another that's a commune of people generating green energy. So Elle ends up right in the middle of things, but there is no doubt in the readers mind who the good guys are and who are the bad. It was a little cliched but there was plenty of action so was fun enough kind of read.
