    About Rise of Endymion

    The magnificent conclusion to one of the greatest science fiction sagas of our time

    The time of reckoning has arrived. As a final genocidal Crusade threatens to enslave humanity forever, a new messiah has come of age. She is Aenea and she has undergone a strange apprenticeship to those known as the Others. Now her protector, Raul Endymion, one-time shepherd and convicted murderer, must help her deliver her startling message to her growing army of disciples.

    But first they must embark on a final spectacular mission to discover the underlying meaning of the universe itself. They have been followed on their journey by the mysterious Shrike–monster, angel, killing machine–who is about to reveal the long-held secret of its origin and purpose. And on the planet of Hyperion, where the story first began, the final revelation will be delivered–an apocalyptic message that unlocks the secrets of existence and the fate of humankind in the galaxy.

    Praise

    “One of the finest achievements of modern science fiction.”
    –The New York Times Book Review

    “The Rise Of Endymion, like its predecessors, is a full-blooded action novel…distinguished from formulaic space opera by the magnitude of what is at stake–which is nothing less than the salvation of the human soul.”
    –The New York Times Book Review

    “A novel rich with power and passion, and an enormously satisfying conclusion to one of the major works of modern science fiction.”
    –Locus
