ok

Honestly, the break between this and Hyperion hurt me. As I stated in my review of Hyperion, it was like Ten Little Indians - except Dan Simmons stopped it at 5! When I finished Hyperion, I was like an addict looking for this book. It was painful waiting for it to come in! Needless to say, this continues the same plot line of telling why the people have been brought together, but it also begins intermixing the "present" more with the stories of the peoples' pasts... It was on par of the same excellence as Hyperion.

In the Fall of Hyperion, the author uses Catholic debates on the nature of Jesus' relationship to God as his premise to resolve the crisis created in Hyperion. It is an interesting and scholarly approach, but sometimes annoying. The religious overtones set me on edge from time to time, but not as much as the pacing. The story takes a long time to unfold and made me impatient often. Still, I liked it being an epic tale about the end of the world.

This book is the conclusion to the epic adventure begun in Hyperion. Simmons returns us to a far future resplendent with drama and invention. On the world of Hyperion, the mysterious Time Tombs are opening. Adn the secrets they contain mean that nothing - nothing anywhere in the universe - will ever be the same.

Sequel and conclusion to Hyperion

Excellent book! Great writing and characters.

This is one of the very best series I have ever read. Great writer.

Well written science fiction.

This is the continuation and conclusion to the first book, Hyperion. You can read this without having read the first but I would not recommend it; one would have enough just trying to follow along, and less time enjoying the tale. It's like reading, or watching "The Two Towers" before "Lord of the Rings".

This is the stunning conclusion to the epic adventure begun in "Hyperion". We return to a far future resplendent with drama and invention. On the world of Hyperion, the mysterious Time Tombs are opening. And the secrets they contain mean that nothing--nothing anywhere in the universe--will ever be the same.
