Los Angeles, 2029 Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina is back with the LAPD BLADE RUNNER UNIT hunting for renegade Replicants. But this time she’s out to save as many as she can. Changed by her experiences, Ash is no longer the same cold, cynical killing machine as she was in 2019. Now she has a new mission that, if discovered, will make her the enemy of humanity. When Ash is confronted by an old adversary, one she believed long dead, she is drawn into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a Replicant unlike any she has ever faced before – a Replicant with no fear of death and with a dream to finish off what the Blackout started in 2022… The end of mankind.

LOS ANGELES, 2039 Vor 20 Jahren half Aahna "Ash" Ashina, ein ehemaliges Mitglied der Blade Runner-Einheit, einem jungen Mädchen und ihrer Replikanten-Ersatzmutter, aus den Fängen ihres sadistischen Vaters, des Wirtschaftsmagnaten Alexander Selwyn, zu entkommen. Jetzt ist Cleo Selwyn von der außerweltlichen Kolonie Arcadia nach Los Angeles zurückgekehrt, um ihre "Mutter" Isobel zu suchen, von der sie glaubt, dass sie das Opfer einer von Niander Wallace inszenierten Entführung ist. Seit drei Jahren stellt Niander Wallace seine neue Linie "perfekt gehorsamer" Replikanten her, und nun, im Jahr 2039, ist seine persönliche Assistentin Luv die erste Replikantin, die der Blade Runner-Abteilung des LAPD zugeteilt wurde.

Now, two decades later, Ash lives as a fugitive helping Replicants escape their enslaved servitude and survive undetected on Earth. Convinced that the secret of Replicant reproduction lies hidden in the DNA of Cleo Selwyn, a young woman whom Ash helped to escape back in 2019, Niander Wallace has unleashed his Replicant protegee, Luv – LAPD’s first Replicant Blade Runner, and a clone of Ash in her prime to bring them to him dead or alive. For twenty years, Ash has been running.

God created all things, He sustains all things, but He lacks one thing - He’s seeking “True Worshippers” who will worship Him in Spirit and Truth. This is an urgent search because John 4:23 says “the hour has come, and now is the time” for these true worshippers to come forward and make themselves known. This battle with sin all started over worship and we are urged to make the right choice in terms of who we worship. There’s a loud and urgent message emphasised in Revelation 14:6 letting us know that the “hour has come” for us to worship the Creator. The book, “From Spectator to True Worshipper” addresses one of the key issues in our relationship with Christ and explores Biblical concepts and principles around worship that can be incorporated into personal and congregational worship settings. God has given us a glimpse of eternity through the act of worship, and there is an acceptable form that is pleasing to Him.

After 20 years living Off-world. Cleo Selwyn has returned to Los Angeles in search for her surrogate Replicant mother Isobel, whom Cleo believes has been abducted on the orders of Niander Wallace. Believing that Cleo’s DNA holds the secret of Replicant fertility, Wallace has ordered his own personal Replicant assistant, Luv, the first Replicant Blade Runner, to hunt her down with approval to kill any who stand in her way. Now reunited with her one-time protector and former Blade Runner Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina, Cleo and Ash set off on a desperate race to find her mother and escape back Off-world before Luv can find them. “As a Blade Runner series this looks to be one of the best yet. If this is the final chapter, we are in for an explosive end. My anticipation levels are at an all-time high.” – Get Your Comic On Collects Blade Runner 2039 #5-9

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. After a series of violent rebellions, their manufacture was prohibited and Tyrell Corp went bankrupt. The collapse of ecosystems in the mid 2020s led to the rise of industrialist Niander Wallace, whose mastery of synthetic farming averted famine. Wallace acquired the remains of Tyrell Corp and created a new line of Replicants who obeyed without question. One of the first of these, code-named LUV, was gifted by Wallace to the Los Angeles Police Force as the first Replicant Blade Runner, tasked with the capture and retirement of fugitive earlier models. A Replicant underground survives, led by the former combat model Freysa and her human partner Aahna Ashina, known as Ash, formerly the first-ever female Blade Runner. Ash has helped a young fugitive Replicant called Lexi to escape the city in return for an unusual payment. Meanwhile Luv has been sent by Niander Wallace to investigate the home of dead industrialist Alexander Selwyn in search of a supposed secret Replicant manufacturing lab…
