The Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons

LOCUS AWARD WINNER * Multiple-award-winning science fiction master Dan Simmons concludes the renowned Hyperion Cantos with this magnificent "full-blooded action novel" (The New York Times Book Review).

"An enormously satisfying conclusion to one of the major works of modern science fiction."--Locus

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.

Dan Simmons is the author of the Hugo Award-winning novels Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion, as well as Endymion and The Rising of Endymion. Summer of Night and its sequel A Winter Haunting, Song of Kali, Carrion Comfort, and Worlds Enough & Time are among his critically praised thriller books. Simmons resides in the state of Colorado.
