Now, in the stunning continuation of the epic adventure begun in Hyperion, Simmons returns us to a far future resplendent with drama and invention. On the world of Hyperion, the mysterious Time Tombs are opening. And the secrets they contain mean that nothing--nothing anywhere in the universe--will ever be the same. The Fall of Hyperion records the fall of the Hegemony of Man.

Masterwork is right. God alive, where do you even begin to start conceiving of a project like this? Huge pay-offs at the end, full on invasion and destruction of multiple worlds, the obliteration of the "Farcaster" network and depiction of all the ramifications and then its tears ahoy as Sol's daugh...
Nie podobała mi się ta książka. Już od początku coś szło nie tak i skutecznie mnie odrzucała. Po przeczytaniu pierwszej części chciałem więcej, a nawet WIĘCEJ a dostałem mniej. Teraz pewnie spojrzycie na ocenę i zadacie sobie pytanie "O czym on gada? Przecież ocenił bardzo wysoko. Może się pomylił i...
This was a book that I had been looking forward to reading since I finished the first book in the series last year but unfortunately it turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment.
