Publisher Description
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.

So. Good!
Love love love. Such a good story!
Exciting book
Still have more questions than answers, but with this book I felt close to Endymion, a regular man caught up in extraordinary circumstances. The chase scenes are exciting and the different worlds traveled to were exciting and wanting to know exactly what happened to the population of the planets is mysterious and fascinating “The Void Which Binds” is fascinating to me, it’s not a theme I’ve really come across before in science fiction. I enjoyed this book much more than the first two as the characters are caught up in something they do not yet understand completely and are still learning and growing. All three books have some powerful poetry. I’m excited to read the final book to get some answers to questions posed in all three of the books. I’m hoping that in the final book it comes together in a way that makes sense. With this book the authors writing style shines.
Nice Adventure
I like the literary and cultural references (though invoking Frank Lloyd Wright was a bit much) but the real charm of this book is its adventure stylings. A wild and sweet adventure through space, time and the metasphere.
