“Rick Deckard has been snatched from the side of his lover, Rachael. Back in the decaying, labyrinthine sprawl of L.A. Deckard’s blade runner skills keep him alive, but one step behind his anonymous abductors.

A visit to his old boss only deepens his confusion: why is he facing a murder rap? Who is the mysterious sixth replicant? Why is ex-blade runner Dave Holden stalking his every move? Should he trust Sarah Tyrell, who now heads her uncle’s corporation, just because she’s the living, breathing image of Rachael?

“Life on Mars is hell for Rick Deckard – and for Sarah Tyrell. All pretence at civility has been abandoned and while Deckard is off-planet, advising a movie company shooting his blade runner history, Sarah disappears from home.

Back on Earth, Sarah moves about the shadowy hulk of the decommissioned ‘Salamander 3′, rusting on the dried out floor of Scapa Flow. Encouraged by Tyrell Corporation zealots, she confronts the ghosts of a childhood shrouded in questions. One ghost travels back with her to Mars, bringing Deckard a whole new future. But first he has questions of his own to ask. And the rep-symps who want him dead need answers too…
