Reader reviews for The Fall of Hyperion
Review summary
Reviewers widely hailed The Fall of Hyperion as a sweeping, ambitious space‑opera that completes the first duology with vast scope, inventive worldbuilding, and literary–theological depth. Many noted it reads with Hyperion as one story, shifting from a Canterbury Tales mosaic to a more linear, politically charged narrative centered on Meina Gladstone and a new Keats cybrid perspective. While the escalation and answers satisfied most, some cited pacing lulls, heavy exposition, and disappointment that the pilgrims feel less central.

From the publisher
From the rear cover
Dan Simmons is a phenomenal talent. Since the triumphant publication of his first novel, the multiple-award-winning author of The Hollow Man has demonstrated equal facility for writing horror; thoughtful, literary fiction; and powerful, world-building science fiction in the best tradition of Frank Herbert, Larry Niven, and David Brin.
Now, in the stunning continuation of the epic adventure begun in Hyperion, Simmons returns us to a far future resplendent with drama and invention. On the world of Hyperion, the mysterious Time Tombs are opening. And the secrets they contain mean that nothing -- nothing anywhere in the universe -- will ever be the same.
