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.

I thought that this book was really fantastic. I thought Hyperion and fall of Hyperion were excellent novels.However from this point on in the series of books it just gets better. Its an excellent adventure, with plenty of action. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to any reader.

Great adventure

This is a part of the very best sci-fi book series ever penned. Simmons is a fracking master. Buy it.

The best Scifi ever

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

This book is the sequel to the 'Hyperion' books and unlike many Sci-fi series that start to flag after the first sequel or so, this book maintains the pace, excellent story-telling and excitement of it's two predecessors.

I loved this book as well as the final book in the series, ?Rise of Endymion? (also available on Audible) and cannot recommend them highly enough. This book is a real page-turner and I found myself making time whenever possible to listen so I could submerge myself into the brilliant world it paints.

Endymion is the new main protagonist of the story, moving the series into a first-person historical narrative of his exploits with the original pilgrims to the Time Tombs and the fearsome Shrike.

This is the only series of four books that I would ever consider returning to, and as they total some 96 hours, or four days, I guess this is testament to the very high regard I hold for them!

First class narration throughout.

Like it's two prequels, superb!
