About this listen

 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.

Here, 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.

Cracking book to continue the story, so many chapters that are ingrained in my brain, if you haven't started the Hyperion series start now and catch up its a series you won't ever forget.

My only complaint about this absolutely incredible series is that it's nearly over. what a trip.

Warning for those who listen to these with headphones- the musical interludes, whenever they occur, act as jump scares. Kinda funny though no complaints.

it's simply Too Good

Where does Endymion rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is my least favourite of the Hyperion series (it's book 3). While it still presents a fascinating world, I found as the book wore on I was less engrossed than with the other two installments. By the end I felt I needed a break and felt less interested in jumping into the 4th book. That said, it's still a great book and a very interesting series!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Endymion?

There is a possible revelation towards the end that poses an interesting question about the true origin of the Shrike!

What about Victor Bevine’s performance did you like?

He does a very decent job with the reading.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I found it very upsetting every time the Priest General and his crew get liquified by - oh, well.... no spoilers!

Slightly Less Compelling Installment

I thought that this book was really fantastic. I thought Hyperion and fall of Hyperion were excellent novels.However from this point on in the series of books it just gets better. Its an excellent adventure, with plenty of action. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to any reader.

Great adventure

It's a shame that such a great story is only voiced by one person (who does a good job mind!), it would be enhanced by having more voice actors to better reflect the characters

Shame about the range of Voice Actors

favourite sci-fi classic I've read this couple of times now and probably will return to it again 🙂

Although a few things are progressed from the previous books it is the case that this is most definitely a 'chase'. If this was a film it'd be an all action chase with side snippets to throw the plot on top of it.

For all that it's not bad if you've made it through the first two books. I am looking forward to a satisfactory conclusion in the next book though, this shouldn't keep going on, it's almost run its course.

An unusual chase

A little slow to start but gets going after a while. This whole series is begging to be made into a tv show

More Shrike please!

I liked the 2 hyperion stories and there is a lot of originality in the series. but this story dragged in many parts. it has some merit and is worth a listen for those committed to knowing more of the hyperion saga but not worth it for those ignorant of the whole story.

nice continuation of story but slow overall
