	Colin Glassey on Dan Simmons
		Hyperion was justly awarded the Hugo as the finest science fiction novel published that year and Simmons added to his fame by publishing a sequel called The Fall of Hyperion less than a year later.
		Given that the new book is set some 260 years in the future, this is quite plausible, though it does seem odd.
		All in all, a good book, and it is good to see Simmons return to the field which he had left for so long.

	The Void and the Word: Dan Simmons' Complete Hyperion Cantos
		Both "Hyperion" (1818) and "The Fall of Hyperion" (1819) are ambitious, incomplete attempts to create epic poems around a classical theme: the overthrow of the race of Titans--among them Saturn, Uranus, and the sun god Hyperion--by the gods of ancient Greek mythology (Apollo, Zeus, etc.).
		The narrative opens with the arrival on Hyperion of seven travelers, "pilgrims" chosen by the Hegemony Council and The Church of the Shrike to visit the planet at a critical moment in its, and the Hegemony's, history.
		The Hyperion books are particularly striking examples of Simmons' ability to assimilate and make use of a wide variety of literary and intellectual sources.

	BookPage Interview
		Spanning four novels and many centuries of real and imagined galactic history, the Hyperion saga is an astonishing achievement, overbrimming with adventure, lyricism, and insight.
		Simmons will return to his Hyperion universe once more in an upcoming novella, part of a set of stories by a select group of science fiction authors who have been asked to revisit their now-classic worlds just one more time.
		In fact, when I first started writing "Hyperion," I knew I'd have to deal with Keats' long poems, "Hyperion" and "The Fall of Hyperion." I really appreciated his theme of life evolving from one race of gods to another, with one power having to give way to another, as Hyperion must.

	A Profile of Dan Simmons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		But it was the publication, and best-selling success, of the "Hyperion books" which secured Simmons' fame as a science fiction luminary.
		On the whole, Hyperion's popularity might be attributed to the fact that it is the perfect Rosetta stone for those unfamiliar with science fiction.
		Although the writing of another book in the Hyperion saga, and the translation of the first two volumes onto CD-ROM, would be enough to keep many writers busy for years to come, Dan Simmons continues turning out short stories as well.

	Book Reviews: The Rise of Endymion; Finity's End
		As Raul struggles to complete his mission and meet up with Aenea, the Pax and the TechnoCore put their plan into action, starting a chain of events that could lead to ultimate doom, not only for Aenea and Raul, but for every sentient being in the Hegemony universe.
		There are two other problems with the book that make it a less satisfying read than its predecessors.
		The other problem is difficult to articulate, but it seemed as if unraveling all of the mysteries of the previous books, particularly the nature of the Shrike, has robbed the story of some of its grandeur.

	Jubilee Books - Darren Shan Profile
		He enjoyed his first taste of literary success aged 15, as a runner-up in a TV script-writing competition for RTE in Ireland, with a dark comedy script entitled “A Day in the Morgue” (he was morbid even then!).
		In January 2000 his first children’s book – Cirque Du Freak, which he'd written as a fun side-project – was published in between his two adult books.
		The first book in a series entitled The Saga Of Darren Shan, it attracted rave reviews and much media attention — especially when the movie rights to the first two books were bought by Warner Bros in a seven figure deal prior to publication!

		The story of a long-lost book that mysteriously reappears and connects an 80 year old Polish Jewish locksmith, Leo Gursky, searching for his son with a girl (Alma Singer) seeking a cure for her mother's loneliness (Charlotte Singer).
		His colleagues, and those who have been touched by his series of books about China and about his life in the country, will undoubtedly be moved at the ceremony remembering the unique man who witnessed and documented all the dramatic events that shaped the modern and contemporary history of China.
		Although this is not a book, it is an important read for anyone in institutional Judaism.

	Dan Simmons - Hyperion and Endymion series - reviews
		I found this book a little more difficult to read because the twin of the Keats personae introduced in the first book is now the protagonist.
		And as with the previous Hyperion novels, the visual description of the voyage and the worlds are absolutely memorable.
		Her and Raul enter a great conversation about the purpose of evolution as a means for Raul to understand the message, "Choose again." I could not help but relate that conversation to the recent decision in Kansas to NOT teach evolution in public schools and the confirmation on the limitations of that kinds of thinking.

	[No title]
		What sets this book apart from the sea of other "mommy-daddy-love-me" books is the global perspective, that even though people may be far away and live very differently than we do here in the United States, a parentÕs love for a child is universal and precious and respecting that is part of creating peace.
		First off, the packaging of this book is pure genius: bound in a material that verges on tight tweed, with the character depicted in gold cloisonné, carrying this book around is as much of a fashion statement as it is a literary statement.
		This book uses a lively combination of comic book narrative and scintillating sidelines to follow along as an inspired teacher time-travels in order to fully celebrate the contributions of a great and powerful culture with her class.

	Locus Online: Dan Simmons interview excerpts
		When one moves from horror novels to SF epics to historical espionage novels to suspense thrillers to hardboiled noir to mainstream novels, as I have, it means that new readerships are constantly being courted and created, while some old relationships are broken.
		And the computers keeping track of sales for the bookstores and chains are also confused — Simmons’s first detective novel may be his 20th published book, but he’s a new writer to the computer that’s only checking sales in the mystery genre.
		“I had thought for years it was time to pillage Homer the way I had with Keats for the two Hyperion books, and that I had done enough reading over the years to use the themes and some of the imagery and ideas in The Iliad in a fun way with SF.

	Sacred Hoops: Spiritual Lessons of a Hardwood Warrior - Author: Bill Bradley, Phil Jackson, Hugh Delehanty - Hyperion ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		At the heart of the book is Jackson's philosophy of mindful basketball -- and his lifelong quest to bring enlightenment to the competitive world of professional sports, beginning with a focus on selfless team play rather than "winning through intimidation".
		The book takes a wonderful look into the mind of Jackson, raised by Pentacostal parents in Montana, who later became enlightened by Zen and Native American principles during his playing career with the New York Knicks and early coaching stints in Albany, N.Y. and Puerto Rico.
		This book is great reading for those who lose faith in modern day sports and society in general.

	CNN.com - What is 'The Greatest Game Ever Played'? - Dec. 12, 2002
		But for Mark Frost, there's no contest: the "Greatest Game Ever Played," as the title of his book (published by Hyperion) has it, is the 1913 U.S. Open golf championship at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.
		Both were self-effacing men who spent little time talking about their triumphs, preferring to focus on character.
		Frost relied on the resources of the United States Golf Association, particularly its chief historian, Randon Jerris; Robert Donovan, executive director of the Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund; and J. Louis Newell of The Country Club.

		I made a special effort to find realistic stories and images, rather than only folk tales and legends, not because I would diminish the traditional works but because we need to employ powerful images in order to increase self-esteem in our youngest children.
		Fortunately, there are increasing numbers of picture books that provide realistic positive images of all of our children.
		One outstanding book that provides a beginning framework for understanding literature and history is Sweet Words So Brave: The Story of African American Literature by Barbara Curry and James Michael Brodie, and illustrated by Jerry Butler.

		The launch of the book came as the hospital themselves are hoping to cash in on "Peter Pan" authorship.
		They are inviting authors to compete for the chance to write the "official" sequel to Peter Pan for publishing in the autumn of next year -- thereby extending the royalties.
