From Amazon.com

The stunning continuation of the epic adventure begun in Hyperion. 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. --Ce texte provient de la Mass Market Paperback édition.


From Publishers Weekly

This densely plotted book concludes the futuristic tale begun in Hyperion . Earth has long since been destroyed, and humans now occupy more than 150 worlds linked by the Web, an instantaneous travel system created and operated by artificial intelligences (AIs--self-aware, highly advanced computers). These worlds are about to war with the Ousters, a branch of humanity that has disdained dependency on the AIs. At risk are the planet Hyperion, its mysterious Tombs that travel backward in time, and the Shrike, its god/avatar of pain or retribution. The narrative focuses on the government of the Web and its leader, Meina Gladstone, as observed by Joseph Severn, a cybernetic re-creation of the poet John Keats, and seven Shrike pilgrims, who may affect the war's outcome. Simmons pits good against evil, with the religions of man and those of the machines battling for supremacy. Despite his grand scale, however, he fashions intensely human individuals whom the reader will take to heart.

5.0étoiles sur 5 My 100-word book review, Avril 12 2007
This review is from: The Fall of Hyperion (Mass Market Paperback)
Galaxy-spanning human civilisation the Hegemony is in crisis, facing immanent war with the nomadic Ousters over remote planet Hyperion. Behind the scenes, meanwhile, the very fabric of the Hegemony, the communications grid that allows instantaneous travel between the stars, is under threat. The Fall of Hyperion is science fiction on a heroic scale, yet is also intricate and tapestry-like, a complex narrative with many interwoven strands. This fine, imaginatively written novel is not so much a sequel as it is an immediate continuation of Hyperion, so I highly recommend acquiring both books and reading them straightaway one after the other!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Part 2 of 2 ... the only thing is you have to buy two books, Juil 10 2004
Par Michael (Orleans, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Fall of Hyperion (Mass Market Paperback)
Read Hyperion first, there is no other way to begin this roller coaster ride through time and space. Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion will lead you to one of the most unexpected conclusions I have ever read (at least after book two).

5.0étoiles sur 5 Intrigue at a grand scale!, Mai 25 2004
Par Francisco "fchavez" (Mexico City, Mexico) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Fall of Hyperion (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading this book I understood that the stories of the pilgrims of the first part, "Hyperion", work as a clever device to reveal to the reader the magnificent and intriguing universe that Simmons has created for this series. If you finished
the first book with a feeling of disconnection between the stories, like I did, this is the part where all is blended together. The different patches are stitched together and the whole plot is laid before your eyes in all its complexity.

The scope of the story suddenly expands and it deals now with nothing less than the surviving of the human race. Difficult decisions affecting the destinies of entire worlds have to be made by leaders on the basis of insufficient and unreliable information. War rages. What is the role of the planet Hyperion and the shrike on this grand scale drama? Who can you trust?

The story offers some very interesting and not so obvious twists at the end. It has a sense of closure, but not all the issues are resolved. Actually, I think that the main issue is merely postponed to a time deep in the future of which we are offered only glimpses.

At times the story is difficult to follow because the pilgrims are split. Then we follow one of them for a while, and when
something extremely important seems to be about to happen... we shift to another pilgrim or subplot and start accumulating tension again. This format has the advantage, though, that it adds some suspense, and I liked it.

I assume that if you are considering reading this book is because you have read the first one. Go ahead! It will answer some of the many questions you must have. In case you have not read the first part, I do not think this second part is a stand-alone book; you need the background of "Hyperion".

3.0étoiles sur 5 Very good, but not as good as _Hyperion_
Although the pilgrims' stories are wrapped up, in some cases a little too neatly, the book remains largely unsatisfying. Read more
