Only a literature teacher could think a bunch of Shakespeare actors in space would be a basis for a story. But I understand why it was put into the same story collection as the Orphans of the Helix - there's space and aliens. But reading Helix really reminded me the great spaceopera that Hyperion tetralogy was. It's breadth and depth, scale and philosophy. Really need to read it again, now with The story in the future of the Hyperion universe is excellent, but the other story is a complete bore.
Really need to read it again, now with 15 years of additional understanding. Aug 28, Robbie rated it it was amazing. It was nice to read a story set in the Hyperion universe without massive conflict. This was much more like a Star Trek episode about first contact, which isn't surprising since it was born out of a pitch for a ST Voyager episode. I love the idea of him freecasting around the galaxy helping other cultures find new worlds to inhabit without their knowledge.
Apr 27, Zach rated it really liked it. A light, quick little read that provides an interesting short story, but also at the very end a little bit of closure - perhaps ominously hinting towards micromanagement, like certain other prior interstellar powers - to the series.
The story is tight and compact to the point of being spartan. After reading all four of the prior books, having Hawking space spin-ups and translations described in less than two sentences feels downright odd. But Simmons is moving the story ahead at breakneck pace, A light, quick little read that provides an interesting short story, but also at the very end a little bit of closure - perhaps ominously hinting towards micromanagement, like certain other prior interstellar powers - to the series.
But Simmons is moving the story ahead at breakneck pace, and it works well to tell the story he wants to tell. All too soon, it was over, and now I need to find a new series to read.
Feb 23, Tony Kirk rated it really liked it. I think I would love any story in this setting. I finished Rise of Endymion a few days prior and really felt like I needed a little more of the universe before I could move away from the Cantos and this scratched that itch for me.
It's an appropriate length, but I do wish it was a little longer and the main conflict wasn't resolved so quickly - but it's a very 'feel's good' story to give you a little bit more of the universe of the Cantos.
Una bonita despedida a esta saga que tanto me ha entretenido. Una saga de 10 sin duda. Oct 17, M. I'm glad that of all the factions and things in the Hyperion Cantos universe, we get a short story about the Helix people. I found them interesting and intriguing before and this story just gives a deeper look into their lives. And I definitely dont mind the fan-service at the end. In fact I cherish it. Aug 05, Macqueron rated it it was ok.
Sans doute de satisfaire les fans en manque. Aug 03, Kissu rated it it was ok. It was lovely to return to the Hyperion Universe, it was like being in a safe, cozy place we can call home, with a cup of tea and some warm blankets.
The tal in itself was simple but interesting, and I recommend it to all those that read and loved the Hyperion Cantos. Mar 14, Bwh rated it really liked it Shelves: owned.
