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.… (mehr)

I'm surprised to see reviews here saying that this is inferior to the first 2 books in the series. I normally dislike sequels that pick up hundreds of years later with new characters, but this one grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go. I particularly liked the post-Fall scenario of less technology and the rebirth of the Church as the dominant religious and political force.

My only complaint is that my local Barnes and Noble doesn't have book 4. Oh no!

Some brilliant ideas born out the consequences of the two prior books that struggled to keep my interest in the great quest to find old Earth and the architect. ( )

Many fans of Dan Simmons's Hyperion series were not enamored of this more separate entity within the saga. It does not detract, however, from what a fun thrill-ride this book truly is. You need not have read the first two books to enjoy this one, and in fact, it might be better if you haven't. Simmons incorporated the more fun elements of the previous books, weaving them into this grand and tremendously entertaining adventure of science fiction. The Worldweb and the mysterious Shrike creature add excitement to an already great story.

Almost 300 years have passed since The Fall, and Earth apparently, but not conclusively, no longer exists. The Worldweb and the Shrike creature are around, yet the only thing standing between complete control of everything by the military arm of the Catholic Church, PAX, is an 11 year old girl named Aenea, and Raul Endymion. Aenea is the future leader of all, and Raul Endymion has been chosen to keep her from harm. Using Farcaster portals as gateways to other worlds, in order to elude their somewhat reluctant pursuer, Father DeSoya, they find an ally in A. Bettik, a blue android.

The chase is exciting, moving at breakneck speed. The mysterious and deadly Shrike creature adds an unknown element for the three. The questions pondered and ruminated on are thought-provoking, engaging the mind of the reader as their heart enjoys the adventure, the outcome of which is constantly in doubt. As the connection between Raul and Aenea grows stronger, so does the reader's need to know that outcome. Doom for all mankind looms like a dark storm over everything in this grand adventure tale. It is a book easy to get lost in, a breathtaking tale of a fantastical future that can only be found in books.

You read something like this slowly, savoring it, because you know it is part of a series and, therefor, probably without a conclusive ending. Whether a science fiction reader or not, if you enjoy getting lost in another world, this is a good book for you. Sort of a stand-alone book within the series, it is just flat fun to read, and highly recommended. ( )

Fuck. I just love this series and I wish Nemes would crush my skull with her chrome body.

La gageure de continuer l'hénaurme Hypérion promettait autant de monts et merveilles que de déceptions annoncées. Le fait est que Dan Simmons parvient à s'y retrouver, développant son univers sur les ruines de l'ancien monde, prolongeant cette expérience unique du voyage immédiat entre les planètes : les paysages se succèdent, sublimes dans leur diversité, la plupart du temps mystérieusement déserts, quand ils ne recèlent pas de dangers mortels pour nos héros. La quête des pèlerins des tomes précédents se mue en fuite en avant : une jeune fille réapparaît pour accomplir une prophétie qui sauvera l'humanité entière, et elle doit pour cela se rendre en un point qu'elle ne connaît pas encore mais dont elle se doute, en empruntant des chemins qu'on croyait impraticables. Sauf qu'une armée entière est à ses trousses, et elle n'a pour seuls alliés qu'un jeune paysan et un sage androïde. Et le gritche dans tout cela ? Ami ou ennemi ?
Au sein d'une nouvelle confédération de planètes unies sous la bannière de la croix, avec une religion catholique toute puissante usant d'un moyen de résurrection opérationnel comme instrument de conversion, Énée s'efforce d'accomplir son destin, encore incapable d'utiliser les pouvoirs considérables qui seront les siens dans un futur de moins en moins probable. Et cette aventure palpitante nous est contée par Endymion, héraut et héros malgré lui, garde du corps, compagnon et disciple de messie, garçon brave et doté de nombreuses ressources, mais incapable de lutter à armes égales face aux soldats surentraînés de la Pax, à leurs armes polyvalentes et leurs vaisseaux de guerre. Et que pourrait-il bien faire face au gritche, entité métallique capable de venir à bout d'un bataillon entier sans une égratignure ?
Un récit enlevé, qui se perd parfois dans certaines considérations religieuses et la résurgence des souvenirs des Cantos (dont on nous dit parfois qu'ils racontent ce qui s'est passé, puis qu'il ne faut pas croire ce qui y est écrit), où Simmons use de son sens aigu de l'aventure, ménageant des suspenses habiles, mais sans l'ampleur et l'émotion contenues dans les deux précédents romans, plus captivants par leurs styles polymorphes. Le récit s'achève de haute lutte sur des ennemis implacables et un avenir trouble. ( )

We must not forget that the human soul,

is inseparable
in its birth and in its growth
from the universe into which it is born.

Give us gods.
We are so tired of men

Several translations of the Hyperion series were published as multiple volumes There are no equivalent English volumes. Do not combine these with any works other than the equivalent partial volume in another language.

The ISBNs here are not always correctly matched up to the books. Use both the title and ISBN to figure out what the actual work is. Also note that the title sometimes contains the volume number in the entire Hyperion series (with or without multiple parts).
