Summary: Not Free SF Reader
Comment: I suppose you could say this is bleak and getting bleaker. Replicant Night starts off with making a movie of Deckard's replicant hunting adventures, of all things.
Bizarre. Then there is the whole Tyrell woman love me or kill me scenario.
Presumably it is trying to bring into question whether anyone in the book, or even the reader, has any idea what is going on.

Summary: Series killer
Comment: I enjoyed the moive, and the original and the blade runner 2 book. However, this book 3 is not worth the read. Once you start the book, it gives you teasers, and deckard the information but not you. So you wait and read to find out what deckard knows. Then when you do, it was not much. It reads more like a crime drama that takes place in a movie set than anything to do with science fiction. The author must have been hanging around movie sets at the time of writing. The book basically makes deckard look lame, he does nothing on his own, he only reacts to all these people feeding him different information. The story does not even make a good case for why he is picked for this information. Some author's write a private bible of the world they are writing about, then they write the book based on that world they created in their bible. However I get the feeling that this book is lacking so much information because the author never took the time to write a bible before the book and doe not know any of the answers himself to this world in the book. My advice is to stop at the second book. Don't let this book ruin the series for you. Too bad someone like Kevin Anderson did not write this.

Summary: A Really Bad Read
Comment: There is little to recommend for this book. The only way I finished reading it was by reading only the first and last sentences of a paragraph. Near the end of the book, I was only reading the first and last paragraph of a chapter.This book is really bad.

Summary: Very Disappointing
Comment: Jeter's "Blade Runner 2: The Edge of Human" was a fairly good read that captured most of the feel of the movie Blade Runner. (It's important to realize that these books are sequels to the film, not the Phillip K. Dick Book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?") I got the feeling that Jeter's intention of his first sequel was to provide closure to what happened after the events of the film and would create new adventures in the Blade Runner future. Instead, in "Replicant Night", he goes right back to Los Angeles 2019 and revisits scenes that were done in the film. I felt I did not need those scenes embellished any further, I wanted something fresh. Unfortunately, there was nothing fresh about this book at all.

Summary: Mediocre read for those with a casual interest in BR
Comment: 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.
