	Hyperion Cantos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Similarly, the title of the third novel, "Endymion", is taken from a Keats poem of the same name.
		The main task is to rescue and protect Aenea (whose name may derive from Aeneas), a messiah coming from the distant past via time travel and the daughter of Brawne Lamia (a character from the two previous works).
		Raul Endymion saves her and escapes, but is pursued by the warped and changed Church's troops.

	Endymion by Dan Simmons - SFandF.com - Science Fiction Books and Fantasy Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Raul Endymion, onetime 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-first as protector to the child, then as lover to the woman, and finally as her devoted disciple.
		In Endymion, Dan Simmons resolves many of the long-unanswered questions set forth in Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion and poses provocative new mysteries yet to be solved.

	THE RISE OF ENDYMION Dan Simmons Bantam Spectra 1997 Pb709 pages ISBN
		Book three, Endymion (the first of this pair), opens with a very odd scenario: the hero Raul Endymion is in a death chamber awaiting execution and is spending his time writing his memoirs as to how he ended up in that situation.
		The Rise of Endymion is a feast for those who love to debate the philosophy of culture.
		Endymion would never regain consciousness: when she and her siblings had learned what they needed from this memories, she would terminate him and dump the body into space.

	Polyamory-Related Books -- The Rise of Endymion
		Endymion is the fourth of the authors Hyperion saga (the first three being
		Endymion.) To my mind the books really form two pairs, with this latest work being the direct continuation of the storyline begun in Endymion.
		In this newest volume, Raul Endymion is forced to travel through a variety of worlds, and at one point during those travels he comes across an interesting poly situation.

		Dan Simmon's The Rise of Endymion is borrowed as well, from every epic ever written and every heart-breaking love story ever penned.
		The Rise of Endymion is the conclusion to Simmons' magnum opus, which contains Hyperion, a book that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves a great tale well-told and that can be read without craving the sequel, Fall of Hyperion, and Endymion.
		Rise finally ties up all of the loose ends, while incidentally saving the fictional world, and leaves you sobbing by the sheer beauty and scope of it all.

		Endymion is simple,almost lazy storytelling with characters that are perilously close to being boreing.
		While this (and Rise of Endymion) was still a largely enjoyable read, it was frustrating and disappointing in many ways.
		The Endymion series looks more like a first draft than a polished end product, as there were just too many scenes that made me think: "I could re-write this scene and it would be far better!" He should have worked on the Endymion series a lot more before releasing it to the public.

		I reccommend this series to anyone and everyone capable of critical thought and a soft heart for romance and tragedy or simply a love for far-future science-fiction, which are pertinent to fully enjoy this magnificent story.

	Science Fiction
		Yet ''The Rise of Endymion,'' like its three predecessors, is also a full-blooded action novel, replete with personal combats and battles in space that are distinguished from formulaic space opera by the magnitude of what is at stake -- which is nothing less than the salvation of the human soul.
		The current book and its forerunner, ''Endymion,'' follow the earlier volumes so closely in plot development that I am not sure how comprehensible they would be to readers unfamiliar with the rest of the series.
		Her most prominent defenders are the good-hearted Endymion, the multitalented narrator of the tale, and the enigmatic Shrike, a half-human killing machine of uncertain provenance but unwavering loyalty.

	Welcome toWendy's Book Reviews on the Web
		This sequel to Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion is the story of Brawne Lamia's daughter; also, some further antics of Martin Silenus, the Consul's ship, Lenar Hoyt in his 9th incarnation as Pope Julius, and, of course, the Shrike.
		Endymion can boast sympathetic and intelligently crafted characters; even deSoya, cast in the role of villain, is enticingly likeable, and if Aenea seems too mature for her 12 years, at least Simmons has not made the mistake of having her be unrealistically childish.
		But Endymion is that rare part of a series which stands perfectly well on its own, needing neither the history that came before nor the hinted-at sequel yet to come.

	Simmons, Hyperion Cantos (005simd1)
		Endymion presents an intertwined story of theological justifications for the exercise of political power, the creation of that political power, Inquisition, a priest's crisis of faith, the nature of prophets and prophecy, and two distinct adolescences.
		The Rise of Endymion revisits all of the themes in Endymion.
		Although it won't be apparent upon a casual reading, Rise doubles the structure of Endymion up to the climax of both books.

	Dan Simmons, The Rise of Endymion
		With The Rise of Endymion (1997), Dan Simmons has rounded off an enormous epic, a metaphysical space opera whose only contemporary rival in ambition and copiousness is David Zindell’s ‘Neverness’ quartet.
		But Simmons extended it further, with Endymion (1996); now, centuries after the action of the opening volumes, with the interstellar Hegemony that was their setting collapsed and gone and the AIs of the Technocore seemingly withdrawn from human affairs, new characters and situations arose, drawn in part from other Keats poems.
		Endymion seemed an exciting futility, involving as it did an interminable pursuit across space, with the morose hero, a young girl messiah, and a blue android again and again escaping capture by the minions of the evil Papacy that now governed the human worlds.

	Dan Simmons: The Rise of Endymion - an infinity plus review
		With The Rise of Endymion, Dan Simmons brings to a conclusion The Hyperion Cantos, a four book epic that began in mindblowing fashion with Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion, dipped down with the slightly confused Endymion and now surges to a new high with a very satisfying climax.
		Endymion recounts the adventures that befall him in his efforts to protect Aenea, child of the cybrid John Keats from the earlier Hyperion stories.
		As the Pax attempts both to catch Aenea and to prevent the contagion of her teaching spreading, it resorts to a final solution to sweep up non-believers that is chilling in its planning and execution, with a hidden motive that shows that even the Pax is being duped.

	Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons, Search Cheap Books, Discount Books, ISBN 0553572989
		The latest episode (following last year's Endymion) of Simmons' Foundation-like saga of the far future tells of the struggle for dominance between humanity and its siblings, one of which is a highly evolved race with artificial intelligence and another of which has experimented upon its own DNA until it is no longer quite human.
		Nemes is back (I doubt any reader really thought she died back in Endymion), along with her siblings, and even the shrike is behaving even more strangely than usual.
		If the rise of the epic structure is pleasant, and the personal connection to the characters grows stronger, both for the better, there is one drawback.

		The Rise of Endymion is the sequel to Endymion and the fourth in Simmons' Hyperion Cantos saga.
		As in Endymion we experience Rise through the eyes of Raul Endymion (whose family took its name from the planet they lived on.) Raul is condemned to die for his activities against the Church and the empire and sits in his cell transcribing his remembrances while awaiting the random event which will trigger his execution.
		The title The Rise of Endymion is a joke of sorts.

		It is amazing how the political and religious worlds have changed while enforcing their respective influences all through the galaxy.
		Though at this point of the saga Aenea's powers are an enigma, the compelling characters are shepherd Raul Endymion and Father Captain Federico de Soya.
		After reading Dan Simmons' "Hyperion" and "The Fall of Hyperion," I was shocked by the first dozen or so pages of the next novel in the series, "Endymion." The author, in order to begin the storyline, needs the main character to commit a crime that gets a death sentence.

		Together with her protector, Endymion, she embarks on a final mission to find and comprehend the underlying fabric of the universe.
		The Rise Of Endymion is both of these but it is the emotional grip it takes on you that is most unusual.
		This could be a consequence of dividing each book (I think that they were written as a single book and then divided into Endymion and The Rise) so the author has to repeat points and go over situations which otherwise would be needless.

		It's just dull, and while the Pax and so is an interesting concept the events that are actually described in the book are almost entirely pointless.
		Rise of Endymion is a bit better, because something actually happens.
		Incidentally (and it was this thought that made me expand this from a comment to a blog entry in its own right), the issue of time is rather badly handled in the Endymion books.
