Summary
 The multiple-award-winning science-fiction master returns to the universe that is his greatest triumph - the world of Hyperion and The Fall ofHyperion - with a novel even more magnificent than its predecessors.

Dan Simmons's Hyperion was an immediate sensation on its first publication in 1989. This staggering multifaceted tale of the far future heralded the conquest of the science-fiction field by a man who had already won the World Fantasy Award for his first novel (Song of Kali) and had also published one of the most well-received horror novels in the field, Carrion Comfort. Hyperion went on to win the Hugo Award as Best Novel, and it and its companion volume, The Fall of Hyperion, took their rightful places in the science-fiction pantheon of new classics.

Here, Simmons returns to this richly imagined world of technological achievement, excitement, wonder and fear. Endymion is a story about love and memory, triumph and terror - an instant candidate for the field's highest honors.

I enjoyed it, but it lacked the suspense and punch of the first two books. For the uninformed, this novel takes place around 250 years after the first two books in the cantos.

Not as good as first two

The way it was 2 different stories in one and every time they came together.

I don't read much in the way of fiction and I was hesitant to invest time in such a long series. I don't regret choosing this as a source of entertainment. It's a wonderful story with fantastic performances that are enjoyable to listen to.

I was hesitant to leave the pilgrims behind when I started this book. But my hesitation was pointless, for this story was fantastic! I will be starting rise of endymion immediately. The journey and bonding of our three heroes brought my personal investment into the relationships far beyond my attachment to the original pilgrims and their stories. I truly love the focus, the concept and the constant concern. Dan simmons... thank you

I could listen to this Universe forever
