BLURB

World War Terminus had left the Earth devastated. Through its ruins, bounty hunter Rick Deckard stalked, in search of the renegade replicants who were his prey. When he wasn't 'retiring' them with his laser weapon, he dreamed of owning a live animal -- the ultimate status symbol in a world all but bereft of animal life. Then Rick got his chance: the assignment to kill six Nexus-6 targets, for a huge reward. But in Deckard's world things were never that simple, and his assignment quickly turned into a nightmare kaleidoscope of subterfuge and deceit -- and the threat of death for the hunter rather than the hunted . . .

REVIEW

This was, as for many others, my first PKD book and I found it mind-expanding. It also cemented my love for science fiction!

Also read for fall 2007 semester. Not the best book I read for that class, yet still enjoyable. I felt like there were a lot of holes in the story that needed filling in.

Dystopian society with android hunting bounty hunter. Animals are prized possesions.
