Synopsis: Against a backdrop of interstellar war and looming apocalypse, the drama of seven pilgrims on a hopeless mission expands. Review: I fucking loved this book. The first book dragged a bit, and didn't really answer the questions that I had so I was a little hesitant about getting to the sec...

کتاب‌های ایزاک آسیموف و آرتور سی کلارک در برابر این کتاب همچون داستان‌های کودکانه‌اندبه نظرم بعضی از جنبه‌های آیندهٔ شرح داده‌شده در این کتاب بسیار محتمل است: هجرت و گسترش انسان‌ها در تمام کهکشان. انسان‌هایی که خودشان را با فضای اطراف تطبیق داده‌اند و از ظاهر انسانی بیرون آمده‌اند و اختلافاتی که سر ...

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...

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. The story remains interesting and Dan Simmons delivers a good ending to this story arc but he completely changed the ...

This is my last series, so this is also the series that I've gone the longest without reading -- close to twenty years. I remember reading it, bu...

After the incredible Hyperion, I was hoping for so much more from its sequel, The Fall of Hyperion. Let me be specific: Dan Simmons does provide more in terms of plot, with 600 pages that plodded along interminably toward its inevitable conclusion. But he loses the soul of Hyperion in two ways: Firs...

4.5 because it made me feel stupid sometimes but otherwise it was amazing.

This is a good work of Science Fiction, although I have mixed feelings about it. It appears that it was always planned because it neatly resolves the situation with Hyperion. However, I thought that Hyperion was partly so good because it was so ambiguous. Also the book ends too happily. Hyperion...

Hyperion won the contest for my favourite book of last year. How could anything possibly live up to that? The Fall of Hyperion is even more a straightforward science fiction book, without the literary experimentation of the Canterbury-Tales-style first book. It's got to be a lesser book, right? Righ...
