The fall of Hyperion II (Paperback)

Customer Review

After a first volume ("Hyperion") which raised somehow the bases of the saga, this is with "dHypérion Fall" that the story really starts and goes with the entry into saccélérer hegemony war against the Ousters.

Dan Simmons has managed to construct a very complex story with many characters without ever misplace the drive, and that is one of the great successes of this saga. The book is divided into three parts, one might regret the absence of chapters, but the author has opted for a division into short scenes where lon follows the evolution of each character, giving rhythm to a high-tension narrative. No entries left to chance or the psychology of the various protagonists (with whom we mostly met in Volume 1), nor the writing, which ranges from poetry and descriptions of a hyper sophisticated high-tech environment. This is sometimes cryptic, sometimes sharp, and yet we still continually captivated by this space opera that ends up dizzy and inspire lémerveillement.

The parallels with our world limited to our small blue planet is obvious, and include many current earthly concerns in the narrative, even if human civilization has managed to leave his birthplace and spread into the galaxy. LHomme na lost none of his arrogance but the prospect of its complete disappearance in a death struggle with the artificial intelligences that he himself has created will lobliger a radical challenge.

A work that will undoubtedly remain a key milestone of science fiction literature.
