The triumphant concluding novels to the Hyperion Quartet, together in one volume for the first time. ENDYMION 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. The shrike continues to make enigmatic appearances, and while many questions were raised in Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion, still more are raised here. Raoul's quest will continue. THE RISE OF ENDYMION The time of reckoning has arrived. As a final genocidal Crusade threatens to enslave humanity forever, a new messiah has come of age. She is Aenea and she has undergone a strange apprenticeship to those known as the Others. Now her protector, Raul Endymion, one-time shepherd and convicted murderer, must help her deliver her startling message to her growing army of disciples. But first they must embark on a final spectacular mission to discover the underlying meaning of the universe itself. They have been followed on their journey by the mysterious Shrike--monster, angel, killing machine--who is about to reveal the long-held secret of its origin and purpose. And on the planet of Hyperion, where the story first began, the final revelation will be delivered--an apocalyptic message that unlocks the secrets of existence and the fate of humankind in the galaxy.… (mehr)

MASTERPIECE. ( )
  Reysbro | Dec 10, 2010 |
Great second half to one of the more interesting sc-fi operas I've read. More classically sci-fi than Hyperion and very much more strident in it's approach to tackling relevant meta-issues of corruption, entropy and fundamentalism.

I recommend this book to everyone I meet, and even though it lacks the emotional impact (readers of Hyperion will understand who I mean!) of the Rachel storyline from Hyperion the characters are well drawn enough to keep you involved.

Not only is it intellectually and narratively deep, I could not put this book down. This series is a close second in my short list of Literary Crack, after the His Dark Materials trilogy...you have been warned!

Wow.

I loved the Hyperion Omnibus, the first two books in this series. Dan Simmons is a teacher of gifted children and it shows. They are massive books, and crammed full of the amount of information (most of it non-fictional information) that would take any average human being a lifetime to collect.

Set in the same universe as Hyperion, in our future, it follows on in a way I never predicted. Instead of trying to capture the same story as the first two books, he jumps ahead a couple of centuries to new heros and heroines trying to rid the world of the hypocritical and controllling religion that seems to have flourished.

It is a romance. It is an action. The heroine (she is NOT the messiah, she is a very naughty girl) is the clever insightful child of a human and an AI, who knows her probable future and leads her dumb hunk of a hero across countless worlds teaching others, and him, about how the humans need to expand their minds.

It is a very spiritual book, although it seems anti-Christian, it isn't. It fights the there being one dominant religion, and is anti-extremist, quite relevant in this day and age.

The difficulty I had were with the very obvious references to this century. Although Simmons' knowledge spans a lot of our history, he couldn't but help refer back to our time (the last 50 years) a little bit too much for my liking, although I can understand how hard it is not to when you are creating a universe based on our future.

The hero was also just a bit too stupid. I would have liked him to have a little bit of a clue, but it must be hard when the love of your life really does know everything ; ).

All in all, a fantastic series. It kept me absorbed for hours and hours, kept me up late, and found me discussing its themes with everyone I met. A lot of forward thinking stuff but ultimately idealistic - wouldn't it be great, huh? ( )
