This resulted in the collapse of civilization on most planets. Plot Background Ģ74 years ago, Hegemony CEO Meina Gladstone ordered the destruction of all farcaster portals to stop the TechnoCore from eliminating humankind. The novel was shortlisted for the 1997 Locus Award.

Part of his Hyperion Cantos fictional universe, it centers on the new characters Aenea and Raul Endymion, and was well received, like its predecessors Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion. Normally I'd have thrown a fit over this instead I placed an order at my local indy for the next three volumes in the series.Endymion is the third science fiction novel by American writer Dan Simmons, first published in 1996. Because of the intricacy and beauty of the story, I forgive it for violating my own personal pet peeve: it doesn't wrap up the end of the story. I somehow missed hearing of this author and this book in my long life as a science fiction reader. Each of the seven stories is a harrowing history of that person's past and experience with the planet Hyperion, each story filling in detail about the tragic and baffling history of this mysterious planet. Their goal, alarmingly, is an ancient complex of caves where they expect to meet their deaths at the hands (figurative, see the cover art) of an all-powerful being that is reputed to be traveling backwards in time. It follows the classic format of a group of pilgrims each telling a story on the way to their goal. Strong, robust writing and a complex tale never let up through this book.
