Story
From the towering heights of Olympos Mons on Mars, the mighty Zeus and his immortal family of gods, goddesses, and demigods look down upon a momentous battle, observing - and often influencing - the legendary exploits of Paris, Achilles, Hector, Odysseus, and the clashing armies of Greece and Troy. Thomas Hockenberry, former 21st-century professor and Iliad scholar, watches as well. It is Hockenberry's duty to observe and report on the Trojan War's progress to the so-called deities who saw fit to return him from the dead.

Publisher's summary
Featured Article: 12 of the Best Sci-Fi Series in Audio
From the furthest reaches of space to the microbiology of pandemics and gene manipulation, to the future implications of technology for societies similar to our own, science fiction is a fascinating genre that offers listeners a wide variety of ways to access its themes. In looking for the best sci-fi audiobook series, it can be difficult to know where to start due to the genre's sheer number of iterations and variations. But what these series have in common is an acute devotion to telling a good story, as well as fully building out the worlds therein. The writing is enhanced by the creative and impassioned narration.

Just as he did in The Terror, Dan Simmons draws impeccably from history to create a gloriously engaging and terrifying narrative. Based on the historical details of Charles Dickens' life and narrated by Wilkie Collins (Dickens' friend, frequent collaborator, and Salieri-style secret rival), Drood explores the still-unsolved mysteries of the famous author's last years and may provide the key to Dickens's final, unfinished work: The Mystery of Edwin Drood.

Great story, well told.
I enjoyed this entire book series. I am sort of tired of how often religion shows up in science fiction, but it was integral to the story, and it was presented very well. Chapter 23 of this last book seemed like it was written by someone else, but overall I think everything was quite great. Dan Simmons is obviously a bit of a poet. I enjoyed the language. I recommend this book series.

In first read the Hyperion novels many years ago but never got around to Endymion until recently, thanks to Audible. So I listened to all four books pretty much back to back and just finished them. Absolutely beautiful ending to an epic tale. We'll done to all involved.

This was a decent ending to the series. Overall I wish I didn’t get into this series. The good books were good but the bad books were so bad. Few series I regret sticking with to the end. This one almost joins that list. Almost. The last book didn’t screw everything up.

This was the first book series I had gotten into in a while
I highly recommend this book series to anyone who is in college or above.
This book series tells a wonderful story of the journey of many characters. And after following these many characters for many books The Rise of Endymion keeps suspense high and tells a wonderful story with a more than satisfactory conclusion. Unlike the second book in this series, The Rise of Endymion does not slow down and kept me captivated and entertained throughout the entire book. I found myself on the edge of my seat to find out what happened next and I never wanted to stop listening. If you are into sci-fy books and enjoy excellent character development in addition to great storytelling I would highly recommend this book series and it would be a mistake if you didn’t start with Hyperion.
