Über diesen Titel
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.
©1995 Dan Simmons (P)2009 Audible, Inc.Still we are here with Endymion, the 3rd book in this saga which picks up 200 years after the last one ended. With a semi stand-alone story which does often hint or refer to the older books, but new protagonists, goals and fascinating worlds to see.
The story is a bit formulaic with a simple strong man protagonist being flung abruptly into adventure with bigger than life stakes, a quirky sidekick and a girl that needs, or doesn't need, protection. The plot dies take some twists and turns but overall the journey does seem a bit pointless, although highly enjoyable and extremely dramatic.
Simmons does posses a great use of language with really engaging writing, beautiful descriptions and characterisations, metaphors and similes that most scifi books lack. Not this one though, the sheer creativity and scope here still rival the Hyperion books and exceed most others in this genre.
Endymion is worth your time, maybe not so much for the complex and highly engaging story of its prequels but for the wonder and beauty of revisiting Dan Simmons' universe.
Inferior than its predecessor but still great
