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. 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. In 2039, Cleo returned to Earth and enlisted Ash’s help in finding her missing surrogate mother whom she believed had returned to Earth. Convinced that Cleo held the secret to Replicant fertility, Wallace sent his creation Luv, the first Replicant Blade Runner, to hunt her down. However, Ash and Cloe managed to escape Luv’s pursuit and set off cross country to San Francisco, determined to locate Isobel. Thwarted, Luv returned to Wallace who teamed her up with a new Replicant, created by Niander from Ash’s DNA, and the two resumed their hunt for Ash and Cleo. While en route, Ash and Cleo were stranded by a sandstorm and attacked by a biker gang who shot and critically injured Cleo. Only the intervention of an elderly farmer saved her life. In the morning, following the storm, as Ash was preparing to leave, the farmer revealed himself to be a Replicant who had survived an encounter with Blade Runner Ash 20 years previously.

The American poet John Shade is dead. His last poem, 'Pale Fire', is put into a book, together with a preface, a lengthy commentary and notes by Shade's editor, Charles Kinbote. Known on campus as the 'Great Beaver', Kinbote is haughty, inquisitive, intolerant, but is he also mad, bad - and even dangerous? As his wildly eccentric annotations slide into the personal and the fantastical, Kinbote reveals perhaps more than he should be. Nabokov's darkly witty, richly inventive masterpiece is a suspenseful whodunit, a story of one-upmanship and dubious penmanship, and a glorious literary conundrum.
