Book 1: Hyperion
Book 2: The Fall of Hyperion
Book 3: Endymion
Book 4: The Rise of Endymion
I have so many thoughts and things to say about this series, but I do not want to spoil anything. This series is absolutely amazing and so different than any sci-fi series I have ever read. Books 1 and 2 are like one story and Books 2 and 3 are another story, but by the end of Book 4, The Rise of Endymion, everything comes together. Dan Simmons has a way with words that you don’t normally read in sci-fi. I equate his writing to poetic storytelling in a very colorful style. He describes an entire scene with great detail in two sentences. As a result, it gives the reader more time to process the outrageous outside of the box thinking that comes with his storyline. Not only does he draw you into the plot he actually brings you along for the ride. I recommend this adventurous sci-fi / speculative fiction for anyone who is looking for something more than just chronicling the future of outer space. Dan Simmons includes time travel, multiverse exploration, multi-galaxy living, war tactics (including planetary, in space, and in virtual web space), family connection, and love between the main characters… all in one series. It is a must read!
