Endymion
| Dan Simmons
| Dan Simmons returns to the Hugo Award-winning universe of his spectacular bestsellers Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion. This is the story of love, memory, triumph, and terror--likely to be one of the most eagerly-awaited SF events of the year!
From the back cover: It is 274 years after the Fall and the universe is in chaos. Raul Endymion, one time shepherd and convicted murderer, is chosen as a pawn in a cosmic game whose outcome will determine the fate of humanity. Selected as a bodyguard to the next messiah, Endymion will cross time, space, and the very fabric of reality as her protector, lover, and finally disciple. At the same time, the enigmatic Shrike - part monster, part killing machine, part avenging angel - has also followed the girl into the 32nd century. Yet it is Endymion who has been chosen to rescue Aenea, against all odds. How will her message change the universe - if she is willing to speak it...and if humankind is prepared to hear it?
