Wow -- a tour de force. Simmons comes back to the Hyperion world with a vengeance. There are many swirling threads here. The characters are strong and well done, although I though the character of the Messiah was just a bit too vague -- a lot of secrets but all is revealed at the end. The Shrike, who played a large role in the initial two books, is also somewhat hidden and didn't show up much until the final parts of Book 4. All in all, a really fascinating vision of a future that is too close to our own current reality in many ways. It and Book 4 (Rise of Endymion) are thought-provoking and worth reading.
