NY Times Book Review
Generously conceived and stylistically sure-handed...an unfailingly inventive narative that bears comparison with such classics as Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, Frank Herbert's Dune, and Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun.

August 11, 2006: After finishing Hyperion I immediately bought the next book, Fall of the Hyperion. I expected it to be as good as Hyperion but I was wrong. It was better then it's predecessor. I couldnt put this book down until the very last of it's pages were read. If you've read Hyperion then reading this book is a given. If you havent read Hyperion then read this anyways becuase its just that good.

July 26, 2002: The Fall of Hyperion is in every way just as good as its predecessor, Hyperion. This book completes the engrossing adventure begun in Hyperion. Set in a far-future galaxy when the Earth is gone and people can walk from planet to planet by just taking a few steps, The Fall of Hyperion describes an exciting end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it war. As a sci-fi intrigue story, the plot has unpredictable twists and turns which sweep the reader off his feet into an enthralling new world, only releasing its fascinated victim at the end, when the truth is finally known.
