Hailed as âone of the finest achievements of modern science fictionâ by The New York Times Book Review, The Hyperion Cantos is a triumphant odyssey into the heart of space and time. Through four riveting novels, Dan Simmons masterfully weaves such influences as classical mythology, romantic poetry, and far-future philosophy into an ambitiously conceived and unfailingly entertaining epic. Now, for the first time, this entire masterpiece of the imagination is available in one extraordinary eBook bundle:
HYPERION THE FALL OF HYPERION ENDYMION THE RISE OF ENDYMION
On the planet Hyperion, beyond the reach of galactic law, waits a creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. On the eve of Armageddon, with the known universe at war, seven pilgrims set forth on a final voyage to Hyperion seeking the answers to the unsolved riddles of existence. As the Shrike anticipates their mission, each traveler nurtures a desperate hopeâand harbors a terrible secret. And one may hold the fate of humanity in his or her hands.
Praise for The Hyperion Cantos âFor vastness of scope, clarity of detail and seriousness of purpose, Simmonsâs epic narrative is on a par with Isaac Asimovâs Foundation series, Frank Herbertâs Dune books, Gene Wolfeâs multipart Book of the New Sun and Brian Aldissâs Helliconia trilogy.ââThe New York Times Book Review âDan Simmons has brilliantly conceptualized a future 700 years distant. In sheer scope and complexity it matches, and perhaps even surpasses, those of Isaac Asimov and James Blish.ââThe Washington Post Book World âState of the art science fiction . . . This work will be that against which all future works will have to be measured, in the same way, in their time, that Asimovâs Foundation series and Le Guinâs The Left Hand of Darkness set new standards.ââAsimovâs âSimmonsâ own genius transforms space opera into a new kind of poetry.ââThe Denver Post âA major work . . . Simmons doesnât just promise; he delivers.ââScience Fiction Chronicle
