Representaion To Books The Endymion Omnibus (Hyperion Cantos #3-4)
ENDYMIONTwo hundred and seventy-four years after the fall of the WorldWeb in Fall of Hyperion, Raoul Endymion is sent on a quest. Retrieving Aenea from the Sphinx before the Church troops reach her is only the beginning. With help from a blue-skinned android named A. Bettik, Raoul and Aenea travel the river Tethys, pursued by Father Captain Frederico DeSoya, an influential warrior-priest and his troops. The shrike continues to make enigmatic appearances, and while many questions were raised in Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion, still more are raised here. Raoul's quest will continue.
THE RISE OF ENDYMION
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.

Continuation of the Hyperion series. Gets easier to read (more page turning and more traditional), but perhaps less creative and meaningful.6 stars
Christmas 2010: I realised that I had got stuck in a rut. I was re-reading old favourites again and again, waiting for a few trusted authors to release new works. Something had to be done.On the spur of the moment I set myself a challenge, to read every book to have won the Locus Sci-Fi award. Thats 35 books, 6 of which Id previously read, leaving 29 titles by 14 authors who were new to me.While working through this reading list I got married, went on my honeymoon, switched career and became a
Not as good as the Hyperion books. It gets pretty longwinded, with lots of (mostly irrelevant) summations. The whole thing could easily be cut down to half its current size without losing anything, and making it a lot more pleasant to read.
After six years since the completion of the Hyperion duology that marked it as one of the greatest literary achievements of science fiction, gaining quickly the admiration of readers and critics alike, and becoming a masterpiece of its own right, Dan Simmons returns in The Endymion Omnibus, the second volume of Hyperion Cantos collecting the next two novels: Endymion and The Rise of Endymion, back to the universe of his award-winning series, traveling us in a two-legged story of Jesuits and
Well, where to begin.....As usual with Simmons' novels, the first part of a pair of novels is usually the better novel. Hyperion was superior to The Fall of Hyperion and now Endymion is better than The Rise of Endymion. The first novels are fast-paced and Simmons is best at introducing and fleshing out new characters and places and plots. However, where this Omnibus falls short is its main character: Raul Endymion. No, Aenea the Messiah figure isn't the main character although she should be.
