This is the final installment of the graphic novel version of Dick's novel. The lonely Isidore has befriended the androids being hunted by Rick Deckard. The beautiful android, Rachel, tries to stop Deckard from killing those androids. Mercerism the pseudo-religion developed for the androids is announced as a fake. After successfully completing his mission, Deckard has a sort of religious epiphany involving Mercer and Mercerism. Deckard's expensive real goat had been killed by Rachel but he finds a toad, believed to be extinct, in the desert and brings it back to his wife who then discovers it to be artificial. This all sounds like a bunch of nonsense but it makes sense in the context of the other five volumes. As in the other books, there are articles about Philip K. Dick and his work as well as an interview with Isa Dick Hackett, daughter of the author.
