About this ebook
LOCUS AWARD FINALIST • The multiple-award-winning science fiction master returns to the world of Hyperion in this dazzling third novel of the Hyperion Cantos, introducing new characters who bear the fate of time itself in their hands.
“An unfailingly inventive narrative . . . generously conceived and stylistically sure-handed.”—The New York Times Book Review
Two hundred and seventy-four years after the fall of the WorldWeb in Fall of Hyperion, Raoul Endymion is sent on a quest. Retrieving Aenea from the Sphinx before the Church troops reach her is only the beginning. With help from a blue-skinned android named A. Bettik, Raoul and Aenea travel the river Tethys, pursued by Father Captain Frederico DeSoya, an influential warrior-priest, and his troops. And the shrike’s enigmatic appearances continue.
Endymion is a story about love and memory, triumph and terror—and the continuation of one of the science fiction’s greatest sagas.

Really glad I kept reading after fall of Hyperion. This book clears up a lot of questions from FOH. This is the series that I judge all other sci-fi against. You won't be disappointed if you liked the first two.

Didn't think he could have followed up Hyperion and Fall Of.....which were amazing. Wrong..,bought Rise Of as soon as I read the last page. Just a great story, period.

I'm no scholar. But I read ALOT. This book pushed the boundaries of my understanding and grasp of poetry to the limit and found meme searching for definitions and understanding. Amazing writing.
