Living on Mars, Deckard is acting as a consultant to a movie crew filming the story of his days as a blade runner.

  • Anson Tyrell, Sarah's father
  • Ruth Tyrell, Sarah's mother
  • Rachael, a ten-year-old girl
  • Roy Batty, the human template for the replicant Deckard fought in the previous novel. That replicant's personality now resides inside Deckard's briefcase.
