Early in the 21st Century, the Tyrell Corporation advanced Robot evolution into the Nexus phase – a being virtually identical to a human – known as a Replicant. Replicants were used Off-world as slave labor. Those who escaped to Earth were hunted by Blade Runner units ordered to kill any trespassing Replicant upon detection. In 2022, a Replicant attack on the Tyrell Corporation forced the company into bankruptcy and erased all records of existing Replicants. The surviving Nexus 8 models disappeared with the help of the Replicant underground. Many Replicants remained in servitude. In 2027, Aahn “Ash” Ashina rejoined the Blade Runner division to hunt down fugitive Replicants. Her superiors are unaware that her loyalties are divided. Her lover, Freysa, is a leader in the Replicant Underground. While investigating a report of a rogue Replicant, Ash discovered that a Nexus 6 Replicant, Yotun, whom she had failed to retire 12 years previously, had somehow outlived his expiration date and had become the leader of a Replicant guerrilla army. Yotun had Ash abducted before launching an all-out terrorist attack upon Los Angeles. His Replicant army destroyed the newly constructed seawall, killing the city’s political and corporate elite, and inciting all Replicants in the city to revolt against their masters, before taking over the LAPD Tower. Rescued from Yotun’s clutches by members of Freysa’s Underground, Ash raced back to the city to rescue her lover, whom Yotun mistakenly believed had joined his cause. Instead, she sabotaged his broadcast to the city from the LAPD Tower, and in retaliation he blinded her in one eye and left her to die in the burning building. Faced with killing Yotun or rescuing Freysa, Ash chose her wounded lover and the two of them were air-lifted from the rooftop by the Underground…

Early in the 21 Century, the Tyrell Corporation advanced Robot evolution to the Nexus phase – a being virtually identical to a human – known as a Replicant. Replicants were used Off-World as slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and colonization of other planets. Replicants who escaped and returned to Earth were hunted by special police squads – Blade Runner Units – with orders to kill any trespassing Replicant upon detection. In 2022, radical elements with the Replicant Underground detonate an EMP device over Los Angeles, destroying Tyrell Corporation’s Nexus databases, and making it easier for escaped Replicants to resettle on Earth. Soon, all Replicants are banned and the Tyrell Corporation declares bankruptcy. In 2027, Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina, a former Blade Runner rejoined the department to hunt down fugitive Replicants. Her superiors are unaware that her loyalties are divided.

The Replicant rebellion instigated by Yotun, a Nexus 6 Replicant who somehow lived beyond his four-year lifespan, has failed. The rejuvenating elixir that Yotun used to enhance his followers has failed too, resulting in their mass deaths. Now Yotun himself has started to succumb to the ravages of time, and even the regular blood transfusions from his loyal supporters no longer work. Convinced that an old diary of Eldon Tyrell holds the key to his survival, Yotun has set off to Eldon’s birthplace in search of a mysterious box that he believes holds the secret to extending his life. Meanwhile, Ash has been outed as a double-agent working for the Replicant Underground by Blade Runner Marlowe and arrested by the LAPD.

Replicants are bioengineered humans, once designed by the Tyrell Corporation for use Off-world. After a series of violent rebellions, their manufacture was prohibited, and Tyrell Corp went bankrupt. Niander Wallace acquired the remains of Tyrell Corp and created a new line of Replicants who obey. A Replicant underground survives, led by the former combat model Freysa and her human partner Aahna Ashina, known as Ash, formerly a Blade Runner. Twenty years ago, in 2019, Ash spared the Replicant Isobel Selwyn, a replica of industrialist Alexander Selwyn’s wife. Together with Alexander’s human daughter Cleo, Isobel escaped to the Off-world colonies. Searching for the late Alexander Selwyn’s research into Replicant physiology, Niander Wallace sent his creation Luv, the first Replicant Blade Runner, to hunt down both Cleo and Isobel, believing that Isobel holds the secret to Replicant fertility. To aid Luv in her mission, Wallace manufactured a new Replicant created from Ash’s DNA. While Cleo recovered from a serious gunshot wound, Ash and Mack, and old Replicant who saved Cleo’s life, set out to search Alexander Selwyn’s old family estate for Isobel. However, waiting for them was Luv and the Replicant Ash. A furious gun battle erupted and Mack was killed, with Ash captured. Only the timely intervention of Isobel saved her life, allowing them to escape. Together, they headed back to Freysa where Isobel and Cleo were finally reunited…

By 2021, the Terminus War had driven mankind off-planet and entire species into extinction. Now only the rich can afford living creatures; others may buy amazingly realistic simulacrae: horses, cats, sheep ... Even humans. These artificial people are so advanced it's impossible to tell them from true men and women--except for their lack of empathy. Without empathy, androids can--and do--kill their owners and blend into society, so they're illegal on Earth. It's Rick Deckard's job to find these rogues and "retire" them. But "andys" tend to fight back--with deadly results.
