It will make sense when it comes about. All improbabilities do when probability waves collapse into event.

Beyond ideology and ambition, beyond thought and emotion, there was only pain. And salvation from it.

Pain is an interesting and off-putting thing. Few if any things in life concentrate our attention so completely and terribly, and few things are more boring to listen to or read about.

Never make unsupportable assumptions about your enemies. It can be a fatal self-indulgence.

Just when I thought the universe couldn’t get any bigger, it exploded right in front of me through this book. Stepping apart from the first two books only in the style of the narrative, Endymion is a masterclass Sci-Fi action adventure novel. Using the first two books as its myth and ground, Dan Simmons (ABSOLUTE GENIUS) builds an unforgettable reading experience that stretches across multiple exquisite planets. Some nights I literally look up at the sky and wonder, “Is the universe really that bland and tasteless? Where are our brothers and sisters from the stars?” But I know it's more complicated than that, and I know the universe is more bizarre than our wildest dreams! Can’t wait to read The Rise of Endymion!
