The magnificent conclusion to one of the greatest science fiction sagas of our time 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.
“No,” I said, still on my elbow, “I mean a mistake . You’re …”
“Me,” she whispered.
“Twenty-one standard years old,” I finished. “I’m …”
“You,” she whispered.
“… eleven standard years older than that.”
“Incredible,” said Aenea. Her whole face was in the moonlight as she looked up at me. “You can do math. At such a moment.” (查看原文)
With what can I compare the Great Peak?
Over the surrounding provinces, its blue-green hue
never
dwindles from sight.
Infused by the Shaper of Forms with the soaring power
of
divinity,
Shaded and sunlit, its slopes divide night from day.
Breast heaving as I climb toward the clouds,
Eyes straining to follow birds flying home,
Someday I shall reach its peerless summit,
And behold all mountains in a single glance.
--Tu Fu, T’ang Dynasty, China, Old Earth (查看原文)
虽然许多硬科幻的部分没有解答,但总体填坑效果还是很令人满意。Kassad、Het Masteen和Father de Soya的命运比Aenea和Raul的故事更让我唏嘘揪心。另外,这不是科幻,而是神棍科幻。Void可以有一百种更好的解释,Simmons偏选了最像传销的那一个…前80%节奏拖沓,后面哭成渣。
这是关于整个系列的评论。我尽量不透露关键情节。 在很久前看过 Hyperion 和 The Fall of Hyperion 的中文译本之后,一直等不到后面两本的中文版出来。于是去年干脆在Amazon买了原版的看。总体上感觉,The Fall of Hyperion > Hyperion > The Rise of Endymion > Endymion 。 ...

11.28~12.13虽然有些坑填的不是很满意,虽然戏风从科幻转到了神棍,但就像一句网红的话:我喜欢的东西,你都有٩(•̤̀ᵕ•̤́๑)ᵒᵏᵎᵎᵎᵎ

本来开始第三部的时候是有些勉强的,看到第四部开头还觉得有些小bugs,结果越看越放不下。今天总算看完了。很有启发。喜欢老诗人~
