About this ebook

“State of the art science fiction . . . a landmark novel.”—Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine

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.

Praise for The Fall of Hyperion

“One of the finest SF novels published in the past few years.”Science Fiction Eye

A lot gets explained, but don't go in with too much expectations. The style is more of the same as the first book and you'll learn a lot more about the wonderful universe the story takes place in. The pace is a little slow to my taste at times that's why I didn't give it 5 stars.

Multiple times I would look how far I was through the book, thinking perhaps I had just read the climax, only to find myself not even halfway through. Really brilliant writing to make sense of so many different story lines and bring them to a totally satisfying conclusion.

First book was a real success for me. Such an amazing book to read.. Second one does gets a lil too stretched in parts but I just love the story. Just purchased the next one. Can't wait to start it :)
