Book Talk: The world has changed. People live off-world on Mars and Earth is inhabited by the rejects that no longer fit into society. Androids were developed by humans to carry out less than desirable tasks. The Nexus-6 are the most advanced androids created by man. So advanced they live among humans undetected. When a rogue group of androids causes more trouble than their makers are willing to admit, Rick Deckard, bounty hunter, is called in to “retire” them. It is a dangerous ride of twists and turns as Rick tries to solve the mystery behind who is a human and who is an android.
