	Hyperion Cantos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hyperion is the name of a planet where much of the action in the series takes place.
		Hyperion is also tectonically dead, and thus there is no continental drift and no significant electromagnetic field (which implies that a compass does not work).
		The Consul is the former planetary governor of Hyperion.

		However, The Fall of Hyperion is where the story is truly realized, explored, and concluded.
		Hyperion was ok. Mainly because of, as many reviews say, the individual tales of the pilgrims.

	The Hyperion Omnibus by Dan Simmons - an infinity plus review
		Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion have a continuous narrative, but the two parts are very different in structure.
		In Hyperion we are introduced to seven pilgrims selected to travel to the eponymous planet where exists the Time Tombs, a mysterious artefact where time appears to reverse.
		Hyperion (and from here count that as shorthand to include The Fall of Hyperion as well) has rightly been taken up by SF readers as a modern genre classic -- and I'm not about to dispute that -- but Simmons ably includes other genres in the mix.

	Visions of Paradise: Hyperion
		All seven pilgrims have been to Hyperion before, which leads them to believe they share some connection which is why they were particularly chosen for the pilgrimage.
		But abruptly one night, as she is alone inside the Sphinx, the entropic activity centered on the Time Tombs swells in a vast tsunami, enveloping Rachel in such a crush of energy that she slips into an immediate coma.
		Hyperion ends as the pilgrims actually reach the tombs–in a lighthearted moment so wonderful it made me laugh out loud (and which I am restraining myself from revealing even though I want to tell it to you soooo badly!)–and await the shrike.

		How Hyperion ("Britain's brightest record label") must be wishing they had kept well away from the murky waters of international copyright law and paid Dr Lionel Sawkins the few thousand pounds he was asking.
		Hyperion disagreed, issued the recording without Sawkins's permission and failed to credit him as the editor.
		Hyperion took the case to appeal but lost again last week, leaving them facing legal bills of up to £1 million - a crippling sum for a small independent label.

	The Fall of Hyperion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Fall of Hyperion is the second book in Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos.
		The result was one, Hyperion, which was suitably long, and the other, Fall of Hyperion, which was too short.
		Regardless, when considered as a single volume, Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion do constitute one of the greater works of modern science fiction.

	Review: Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons
		For various reasons the planet Hyperion is not a full fledged member of the Hegemony and thus is not included in the farcaster web, a collection of instant intersteller transfer portals.
		Fall of Hyperion is quite a different book in its structure.
		Clearly the events on the planet Hyperion are not irrelevant, but they are not the prime mover of the really important stuff that happens elswhere.

		Remember that very little actually happens in Hyperion; our pilgrims take various methods of transport across a planet and almost reach where they're going, telling a few stories on the way; that's about it (yes, those stories are brilliant etc. etc., but they aren't part of the plot of the novel in the strictest sense).
		It is hectic, complicated, and distinctly unclear; when the over-arching plot is the fall of mankind's greatest civilisation, as experienced by a dying poet who has to experience eight or nine lives at once, the story is not going to be linear.
		The Fall of Hyperion is most definitely a book which rewards repeat readings; Dan Simmons changes his own philosophical and even scientific laws time and time again throughout the book, pulls the rug out from under his readers masterfully, without disrupting our progress through the story.

	Christopher Palmer- Galactic Empires and the Contemporary Extravaganza: Dan Simmons and Iain M. Banks
		Brawne’s father was Senator Byron Lamia (The Fall of Hyperion, §18:181); Hyperion reenacts the killing of Mercutio (§6:464) and links the final moment in which the pilgrims advance to meet the Shrike with The Wizard of Oz (Epilogue 501).
		Further, the fall of Leniproba, unsettling as it is, is, if not repeated, at least alluded to in later incidents (the fall of the wounded medjel— medjels are aliens allied with the Idirans—in the tunnel on Schar’s world, and then the drop of Horza and his prisoner, Balveda, down the same shaft, [§10:320-3]).
		Again, the campfire story-telling by which the travelers’ past lives are told in Hyperion is surely the narrative analog of this journeying, and is to be contrasted with the time distortions and complex double crosses that underpin the later phases of the plot.

	bookideas.com: The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons
		The first book in this series, Hyperion is the story of a group of pilgrims who tell their tales to each other during the course of their pilgrimage to find The Shrike, a metallic monstrosity that bends time and harvests pain from the field of human life.
		The Fall Of Hyperion delves further into the Gordian knot of these characters' lives, and how all their fates are bound together with the awful Avatar, the Shrike.
		The frequent references to classical literature that Simmons makes (the name Hyperion is derived from a poem by Keats, who also figures into the story) are tossed in with reference to other "literary giants" the reader must assume are yet to be born.

		Dan Simmon's `The Fall of Hyperion' is not a sequel, but rather the second half of the unfinished story, `Hyperion'.
		While `Hyperion' was unique in its six wonderful tales as told by six people on a pilgrimage, `The Fall of Hyperion' is more conventional, but is a real page-turner.
		'Hyperion' is a tight novel centering on the past lives of the pilgrims, while 'Fall of Hyperion' is an intricately woven tapestry much akin to epics such as 'Dune'.

		Fall of Hyperion is more than a sequel to Hyperion, it is almost the second half of the same book.
		Where Hyperion was almost entirely a description of the reasons for each pilgrim being on Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion follows the political and military events which surround their individual stories.
		There is considerably more action in Fall of Hyperion, with space battles and political wrangling, but somehow the intensity and amazement generated by the first book just wasn't there.

		"Hyperion" focuses on the history of each pilgram and the reason they are on this mission, flicking back towards real-time events every-so often.
		"The Fall of Hyperion" no longer re-tells the past of the pilgrams but instead focuses on a poet from history whom is "reborn" via genetic engineering who is able to see events of the pilgrams live.
		I personally felt "Hyperion" to be much the better book, but I only read "The Fall of Hyperion" to finish the story.

		The final closing of a story who's foundation was layed precisely in the first, this story quickly moves into a complex interworking of the human Hegemony as they struggle against a future that lies hidden.
		I loved "Hyperion" so much that I was almost afraid to pick the sequel up, fearing that it wouldn't measure up to the incredibly high standard that Dan Simmons had set (see my review of "Hyperion" for more details).
		"The Fall of Hyperion" further demonstrates Simmons' amazing ability to meld science fiction with poetry, two genres that I would have never thought could be combined.

		Hyperion is a very well written SF tale of a world which is about to end.
		As I'm sure many have already gleaned from the other reviews, Hyperion is the first book in a four-part series that details the back-story of seven pilgrims (well, six of them anyway) on a quest to meet the Shrike, a powerful entity that has a crucial role to play in the fate of the universe.
		Hyperion is the ancient fable of the Seven Pilgrims whose true destiny may not be known for a thousand years.

		Well if you have read Hyperion you will have read about the imminent war of the people of the human Hegemony (network of “civilized” planets around the galaxy that are connected through Farcaster portals, which make it possible to travel light as if you were stepping through a doorway.
		In Hyperion you learned about the seven pilgrims who were sent to go to the Shrike who is believed the grant the wish of one pilgrim.
		Unlike Hyperion the ending is much more fulfilling as in you feel you have at least come to the first part of the story whereas the first book just left you in the middle of it.

		Hyperion tells the tale of six men and one woman sent on one last pilgrimage to the Time Tombs by the Church of the Shrike.
		The other is that the author is forced to not really end, answer, or reveal anything at all lest he fall into that first pitfall--thus, again, making the ending unsatisfying and anticlimactic.
		Although I did enjoy Hyperion a little more than its successor, The Fall of Hyperion was still a wonderful and fascinating read.
