Jeter is concerned:<BR/><BR/><BR/>Kevin Wayne Jeter (born 1950) is an American science fiction and horror author known for his literary writing style, dark themes, and paranoid, unsympathetic characters. Jeter attended college at California State University, Fullerton where he became friends with James P. Blaylock and Tim Powers, and through them, Philip K. Dick. Jeter was actually the inspiration for the character named Kevin in Dick's novel, "Valis". Many of Jeter's books focus on the subjective nature of reality in a way that is reminiscent of the works of Dick.<BR/><BR/>Jeter wrote what was likely the first true Cyberpunk novel, "Dr. Adder", but it was about ten years before any publisher would agree to publish it, despite enthusiastic recommendations from Philip K. Dick, due to its violent and sexually-provocative content. Jeter is also the first to coin the term, "Steampunk", to describe the retro-technology, alternate-history works that he published along with his friends, Blaylock and Powers. Jeter's Steampunk novels were "Morlock Night" and "Infernal Devices".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19973953.post-1141751099890084412006-03-07T12:04:00.000-05:002006-03-07T12:04:00.000-05:00That from K.W.

Jeter. The author tries to tie up the loose ends of the story as there is still a military type replicant running loose, Rachel is in stasis and Dekert wants to find a way to extend her life. Sarah, the template and last surviving member of the Tyrell family makes an appearance.<BR/><BR/>I won't go further with this or it will spoil the story. Suffice to say I enjoyed the original version of Blade Runner-Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the movie version of Blade Runner and now this book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19973953.post-1141715025771333562006-03-07T02:03:00.000-05:002006-03-07T02:03:00.000-05:00We should pressure the drug companies to invent ch...We should pressure the drug companies to invent chew Z.
