Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? vol. 5

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? vol. 5 by Philip K. Dick  144 pp.

In this fifth volume of the graphic novel version of Philip K. Dick's classic book, Bounty hunter Rick Deckard and his dysfunctional wife revel in their newly purchased goat (live animals are virtually extinct and very expensive). Deckard is
ordered to go after the last three renegade androids and he enlists the help of android Rachael Rosen. After a brief sexual encounter with the android, he sets out to find the renegades. And now I await the final volume in the series.

As in the other volumes, there is added material about Philip K. Dick, written by authors & artists who knew him. This is the first time while reading this series that I could "hear" Harrison Ford saying Deckard's dialogue as if it was the movie "Blade Runner."
