โฆ Synopsis
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 hopeand 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, Simmonss epic narrative is on a par with Isaac Asimovs Foundation series, Frank Herberts Dune books, Gene Wolfes multipart Book of the New Sun and Brian Aldisss 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 Asimovs Foundation series and Le Guins The Left Hand of Darkness* set new standards.***Asimovs Simmons own genius transforms space opera into a new kind of poetry.*The Denver Post
A major work . . . Simmons doesnt just promise; he delivers.*Science Fiction Chronicle*
