About The Rise of Endymion
A final genocidal Crusade threatens to enslave humanity forever, and a new messiah has come of age. She is Aenea, who has undergone a strange apprenticeship to those known as the Others. Her protector, Raul Endymion, a 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 mission to discover the underlying meaning of the universe itself. They have been followed on their journey by the mysterious Shrike, a monster, angel, and killing machine, who is about to reveal the long-held secret of its origin and purpose. 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.
