The multiple-award-winning science fiction master returns to the universe that is his greatest
triumph--the world of Hyperion and The Fall ofHyperion --with a novel even more magnificent
than its predecessors. Dan Simmons's Hyperion was an immediate sensation on its first
publication in 1989. This staggering multifaceted tale of the far future heralded the conquest
of the science fiction field by a man who had already won the World Fantasy Award for his first
novel (Song of Kali) and had also published one of the most well-received horror novels in the
field Carrion Comfort. Hyperion went on to win the Hugo Award as Best Novel and it and its
companion volume The Fall of Hyperion took their rightful places in the science fiction
pantheon of new classics. Now six years later Simmons returns to this richly imagined world
of technological achievement excitement wonder and fear. Endymion is a story about love and
memory triumph and terror--an instant candidate for the field's highest honors.
