Publisher Description
LOCUS AWARD FINALIST • The multiple-award-winning science fiction master returns to the world of Hyperion in this dazzling third novel of the Hyperion Cantos, introducing new characters who bear the fate of time itself in their hands.
“An unfailingly inventive narrative . . . generously conceived and stylistically sure-handed.”—The New York Times Book Review
Two hundred and seventy-four years after the fall of the WorldWeb in Fall of Hyperion, Raoul Endymion is sent on a quest. Retrieving Aenea from the Sphinx before the Church troops reach her is only the beginning. With help from a blue-skinned android named A. Bettik, Raoul and Aenea travel the river Tethys, pursued by Father Captain Frederico DeSoya, an influential warrior-priest, and his troops. And the shrike’s enigmatic appearances continue.
Endymion is a story about love and memory, triumph and terror—and the continuation of one of the science fiction’s greatest sagas.

Excellent
Another great installment. As close as we’ll likely get to the far future.
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.
