On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all.

The Galahad, a faster-than-light spacecraft, carries 50 scientists and engineers on a mission to prepare Kepler 452b, Earth's nearest habitable neighbor at 1400 light years away. With Earth no longer habitable and the Mars colony slowly failing, they are humanity's best hope. After 10 years in a failed cryogenic bed - body asleep, mind awake - William Chanokh's torture comes to an end as the fog clears, the hatch opens, and his friend and fellow hacker, Tom, greets him...by stabbing a screwdriver into his heart. This is the first time William dies.

Welcome to Ringworld, an intermediate step between Dyson Spheres and planets. The gravitational force created by a rotation on its axis of 770 miles per second means no need for a roof. Walls 1,000 miles high at each rim will let in the sun and prevent much air from escaping. Larry Niven's novel, Ringworld, is the winner of the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmars, an Australian award for Best International Science Fiction.

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

Thousands of years hence, many races inhabit a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures and technology can function.

Shoggoths attack in this adrenaline-pumping novel set in the world of H. P. Lovecraft, where the horrors of the cosmos know no limits… It was in a way humanoid, as it stood on two legs and possessed two arms that ended in delicate digits that I would dare to call hands. Its skin was a pale blue, like the eggs of a robin, and curiously dry looking. The head was massive with a huge bulbous cranium, a large lipless mouth, and three blood red eyes that stared out at the world with nothing but hate.

The urge to explore and discover is a natural and universal one, and the edge of the unknown is expanded with each passing year as scientific advancements inch us closer and closer to the outer reaches of our solar system and the galaxies beyond them. Generations of writers have explored these new frontiers and the endless possibilities they present in great detail. The Final Frontier delivers stories from across this literary spectrum, a reminder that the universe is far large and brimming with possibilities than we could ever imagine, as hard as we may try.

starts strong ends flat
I loved the way this trilogy started and really hoped to keep the momentum going. but it seemed to peak at book 2. book 3 was great because of Cloan and her spunk but fell flat at the end. always entertaining but left me hoping for more.

A Great First Book In A Terribly Average Trilogy
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No; I would've liked to say it was but... no. It was not well-spent time. While Reader (the first book in the trilogy) was quite enjoyable, the other two were boring, confusing, and incredibly repetitive.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I would've stuck to Ambra Dawn's POV, rewrite that atrocious romantic plot device that was Writer, and made it into a story of a semi-omnipotent girl on the path to self destruction. If you've only listened to Reader, you might think this is where the story will lead you but... I'm afraid I must shatter your dreams.
What about Maria Marquis’s performance did you like?
Her performance in Reader and Maker was very good; she conveys Ambra's emotional state so well I could not help but be completely enthralled by her painful journey. I felt it. Unfortunately, Writer is told from a male character's perspective, and she had to deepen her tone; as a result, her narration suffered.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
I would gladly watch Reader; the other two I would ignore.
Any additional comments?
I wanted to like this trilogy, I truly did, but it seems most of the author's creative efforts were invested in Reader, and from there he didn't quite reach the story he wanted to tell. Either that or his aim was to alienate all of us who liked Reader.

Engages heart and mind in perfect symmetry
Intelligent, and emotional. Daughter of time surpassed all expectations. The narration is one of the best I've ever heard.
