add to my books
The first two books of the Hyperion Cantos series had set the bar at a high level but left the story open enough so that an enjoyable follow-up could be written. That is clearly the case with Endymion which starts answering some of the questions rais...more

add to my books

My rating:

Foundation and Earth and Foundation's Edge end the Foundation series. The last two volumes of the series are probably better written than the original trilogy and are basically a long space cruise and a quest for Earth. After having discovered Gaïa i...more
