Thanks Ransomed, yeah, I read Illium and Olympos by Simmons. They are his take on Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, Both are excellent and worth reading...maybe not quite as good as the Hyperion series, but so much better than most of what’s out there.

I liked the first Hyperion book the best, but loved all three. My son, who is in his 30’s, is a fan of Hyperion too, but he liked the second and third the best. The ideas Simmons explored in the series are fascinating.
