    Default Hyperion Cantos

    This is one of the best series I've ever read! If you are a SciFi fan, the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons is a must.

    There are 4 books: Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion and The Rise of Endymion.

    I would do a terrible job of summarizing the plot so I'll let you guys do your own research. All I can say is: Read it!

    Somehow I managed to read the 2nd one first so I forced myself to set it aside for awhile before picking it up again so I can start fresh with it -lol
    The 2nd book was great though, so I'm looking forward to reading the others

    The 3rd and 4th book have a new set of characters and take place roughly 300 years after the first and second book. IMO they are even better than the first ones.

    I agree - I loved the first two, but enjoyed the last two even more.

    If you haven't read Ilium/Olympos by Simmons, get on it - just as good and epic as Hyperion/Endymion.
