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.

3rd time with this book, all 4 of the cantos, and first time as an audio book. The narrator is excellent and allows the story to be fully enjoyed. This is really one of the greatest books I’ve ever read!

Such an amazing and beautiful story, depth of characters and incredible imagination and imagery

Endymion is a worthwhile continuation of the Hyperion saga even though the previous two books did not need it. By no means did those books tie all loose ends but they did give some answers and left enough mysteries for the readers to ponder.

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

A big part of the book, nothing much appears to happen. Then it picks up the pace and ends fulminantly.

Slow buildup, fiery ending!

Disappointing when compared with the previous titles. Spoiler: at some point the protagonist explains he is not attracted to a child while describing her bottom.

Fall from grace
