Hailed as “one of the finest achievements of modern science
fiction” 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 hope—and harbors a terrible secret. And one may hold the
fate of humanity in his or her hands. Praise for The Hyperion
Cantos “For vastness of scope, clarity of detail and seriousness
of purpose, Simmons’s epic narrative is on a par with Isaac
Asimov’s Foundation series, Frank Herbert’s Dune books, Gene
Wolfe’s multipart Book of the New Sun and Brian Aldiss’s
Helliconia trilogy.”—The New York Times Book Review “Dan
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.”—The Washington Post Book
World “State 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 Asimov’s Foundation series and Le
Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness set new standards.”—Asimov’s
“Simmons’ own genius transforms space opera into a new kind of
poetry.”—The Denver Post “A major work . . . Simmons
doesn’t just promise; he delivers.”—Science Fiction Chronicle
