The multiple-award-winning science fiction master returns to the universe that is his greatest triumph--the world of Hyperion and The Fall of
Hyperion --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.

Now, six years later, 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.

Based on the mix reviews that Dan Simmons' Endymion receives. I think a lot of readers come into it with the expectation of the grand scale of story telling that was characteristic of the previous novels Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion. Rather, this story if a fresh start with a quicker pace cat and mouse chase between organised religion and new messiah along many of the worlds just mentioned in the passing in the previous novels. Set in a world where the past evens you are familiar with in the two Hyperions are now history and folk law, I get the sense that the author had so much fun with the first two that he just want to do a thought experiment on the 'what if' scenarios. Definitely recommend it for fans of the first two books but I hear that it gets better with rise of Endymion.
