Praise for “Hyperion”
“Dan Simmons has brilliantly conceptualized a future 700 years distant. In sheer scope and complexity it matches, and perhaps even surpasses, those of Isaac Asimov and James Blish.”
“An unfailingly inventive narrative . . . generously conceived and stylistically sure-handed.”
“Simmons’s own genius transforms space opera into a new kind of poetry.”
