Did anyone end up checking out the original Hyperion?
It was a hell of a book all told. One of the best science fiction novels I've read in years. Now I'm moving through the 3 sequels.
If anyone does pick it up, save yourself the trouble of having to go back out and buy Fall of Hyperion, Endymion and Rise of Endymion and just get the HYPERION CANTOS, which includes all four books.
