In a book even more spectacular than its predecessors, the multiple-award-winning science fiction master returns to the universe that has given him the most success—the world of Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion—to tell a narrative of love and memory, victory and dread.
Raoul Endymion is sent on a mission in Fall of Hyperion, which takes place 244 years after the WorldWeb collapsed. It's not over until Aenea is retrieved from the Sphinx before the Church forces arrive. Father Captain Frederico DeSoya, a powerful warrior-priest, and his soldiers are pursuing Raoul and Aenea as they traverse the Tethys River with the aid of a blue-skinned robot dubbed A. Bettik. While many concerns were raised in Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion, more are addressed here as the shrike continues to make mysterious appearances. Raoul is not going to give up.
