TEXT IN SPANISH. A team of sentient robots from Jupiter''s lunar system embark on a mission to Mars, where they find a race of metahumans living out existence as the Greek gods of Olympus. These gods have recreated the Trojan War with reconstituted Greeks and Trojans, staffing it with scholars from Earth''s history who observe the events and ensure their accuracy to Homer''s Iliad. One of these scholars, Thomas Hockenberry, finds himself tangled in the midst of the interplay between the gods and their playthings, and sends the war reeling in a direction Homer could have never imagined.

The triumphant concluding novels to the Hyperion Quartet, together in one volume for the first time. ENDYMION Two hundred and seventy-four years after the fall of the WorldWeb in Fall of Hyperion, Raoul Endymion is sent on a quest. Retrieving Aenea from the Sphinx before the Church troops reach her is only the beginning. With help from a blue-skinned android named A. Bettik, Raoul and Aenea travel the river Tethys, pursued by Father Captain Frederico DeSoya, an influential warrior-priest and his troops. The shrike continues to make enigmatic appearances, and while many questions were raised in Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion, still more are raised here. Raoul''s quest will continue. THE RISE OF ENDYMION The time of reckoning has arrived. As a final genocidal Crusade threatens to enslave humanity forever, a new messiah has come of age. She is Aenea and she has undergone a strange apprenticeship to those known as the Others. Now her protector, Raul Endymion, one-time shepherd and convicted murderer, must help her deliver her startling message to her growing army of disciples. But first they must embark on a final spectacular mission to discover the underlying meaning of the universe itself. They have been followed on their journey by the mysterious Shrike--monster, angel, killing machine--who is about to reveal the long-held secret of its origin and purpose. And on the planet of Hyperion, where the story first began, the final revelation will be delivered--an apocalyptic message that unlocks the secrets of existence and the fate of humankind in the galaxy.

Ilium

release date: Jul 16, 2014
Ilium
Gleich wie die Blätter im Walde, so der Menschen Geschlecht, dies wächst und jenes verschwindet ... Thomas Hockenberry, ehemaliger Professor für Philosophie, wird nach seinem Tod auserwählt, im Auftrag der Muse Kalliope als Kriegsberichterstatter in Ilium tätig zu werden. Als sogenannter Scholiker mit raffinierten High-Tech-Geräten ausgestattet, die es ihm ermöglichen, mitten im Kampfgetümmel zu erscheinen und in Sekundenbruchteilen wieder zu verschwinden, soll er der Muse Zeugnis geben von den Wechselfällen des Trojanischen Krieges. Hockenberry kennt Homers "Ilias" genau und merkt bald, dass sich zwischen dem, was er sieht, und den Versen Homers beträchtliche Diskrepanzen auftun. Hat sich der berühmte griechische Epiker in sträflicher Weise dichterische Freiheiten erlaubt? Oder befindet er, Hockenberry, sich etwa im falschen Krieg? Mit »Ilium« und dem Nachfolgeband »Olympos« legt Dan Simmons eines der größten Zukunftsepen des beginnenden 21. Jahrhunderts vor.

Thomas Hockenberry, einst Professor für Philosophie an der University of Indiana, wird nach seinem Tod von den Göttern des Olymp auserwählt, um als Kriegsberichterstatter in Ilium tätig zu werden. Raffinierte High-Tech-Geräte erlauben es ihm, mitten im Kampfgetümmel zu erscheinen und in Sekundenbruchteilen wieder zu verschwinden. Doch Hockenberry kennt die »Ilias« zu genau, um nicht zu merken, dass sich zwischen dem, was er sieht, und den Versen Homers beträchtliche Diskrepanzen auftun. Schnell stellt er fest, dass er nicht auf dem griechischen Olymp wiedererweckt wurde, sondern auf dem Olympus Mons, dem höchsten Berg des Mars. Und es hat ihn nicht in die Antike, sondern in eine ferne Zukunft verschlagen. Als durch seine Intervention der Krieg eine völlig neue Wendung nimmt, geraten die Ereignisse zunehmend außer Kontrolle ...
