Description de l’éditeur
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.
Avis des utilisateurs
A good continuation of the Hyperion Cantos
An enjoyable read but it does drag in parts and is clearly a middle (or third) part of a larger story. I have a feeling much of the slower parts will come into focus after reading the 4th book.
A disappointing chapter in the Hyperion series
An abundance of nonsensical contradictions in the story make this by far the weakest link in the Hyperion series. While the storytelling is still excellent, the story’s own coherence with itself wanes time and again.
