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.

Le troisième opus d'une oeuvre magnifique, la saga Hyperion / Endymion. Un très grand souvenir.
From John Wick to the Terminator, this story is full of adventure and mystery while building on the original pilgrims stories from 270 years in the past.
Really enjoyed this book and am excited to dive into the final Hyperion chapter.
Incredibly disappointing compared to the last two. I doubt I'll read past this.
Expanding on the Hyperion universe while introducing new realistic and thoughtful characters.
