About this listen

 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.

its a sort of travelling odysee where most of the magical sci-fi gadgets are torn away from the heroes and it almost might as well could have been set in 19th century africa or south america. a lot of scenes have the main character fighting desperately for his life but some of the tension are deflated by the fact that we know he will survive it all because he starts the story stating that he is in prison while writing the story.

a little weirder than hyperion.

The quality continues to be outstandingly high. Story is imaginative and characters are realistic. The world feels so complete and it's hard to believe this written in the mid ninties, it's the best sci-fi novel I've ever read/heard.

Outstanding
