About this product

Product Information

Beneath the gaze of the gods, the mighty armies of Greece and Troy met in fierce and glorious combat, scrupulously following the text set forth in Homer's timeless narrative. But that was before one observer--Twenty-first Century scholar Thomas Hockenberry--stirred the bloody brew; before an enraged Achilles joined forces with his archenemy Hector; and before the fleet-footed mankiller turned his murderous wrath on Zeus, Hera, Athena, Aphrodite, Apollo, and the entire pantheon of divine manipulators. Now, all bets are off. Dan Simmons, the multiple-award-winning author of The Hyperion Cantos , returns with the eagerly anticipated conclusion to his critically acclaimed, Hugo Award-nominated sf epic Ilium . A novel breathtaking in its scope and conception, Olympos ingeniously imagines a catastrophic future where immortal "post-humans" high atop the real Olympos Mons on Mars restage the Trojan War for their own amusement even while the sad remnants of mortal humankind are forced to confront their ultimate annihilation. For untold centuries, those few old-style humans remaining on Earth have never known strife, toil, or responsibility, each content to live his or her allocated hundred years of life in unquestioning leisure. But virtually overnight and for reasons beyond their comprehension, the world around them has changed forever. The voynix--terrible and swift creatures that once catered to their every need--are now massing in the millions with but one terrifying purpose: the total extermination of the human race. Having traveled farther and learned more of the wondrous and terrible truth of their world than any others of their kind, Ada and Daeman--with the aid of the crafty and mysterious warrior once called Odysseus, now called Noman--must marshal the pathetic defenses of Ardis Hall in anticipation of the onslaught of the murderous voynix. And they must do so without Harman, Ada's lover and the father of her unborn child, who wanders the Earth on a great odyssey of his own. Harman seeks nothing less than the limitless knowledge necessary to defeat Setebos, an unspeakable, otherworldly monster who feeds on horror, and whose arrival heralds the end of all things. And meanwhile, back on Mars . . . The vengeful rebellion of Achilles--and the intervention of sentient robots from Jovian space, determined to prevent a potentially universe-obliterating quantum catastrophe--has set immortal against immortal, igniting a civil war among Olympian gods that may send all things in Heaven and Earth and everywhere in between plummeting straight to Hell. A monumental work that blurs the often arbitrary line between great sf and serious literature, Dan Simmons's Olympos --together with its extraordinary predecessor, Ilium --sets new standards for the genre, confirming his reputation as one of the most original authors currently working in the field of speculative fiction.

I ordered this lot of 4 bridge books because I wanted one of the books. Price of the lot of 4 was cheaper than the price of the book I wanted from other sellers. As a bonus, I liked 2 of the other 3 books. Items were as described, well packed and arrived quickly. I would buy from this seller again.

    An Original Work

    Every once in a while, and all too infrequently, a truly unique book comes along. A work filled with fresh plots, new idea's. A book of rich depth and true substantance to the characters. A book that stands heads above the rest. This is such a book. Mr. Simmons has crafted such an incredible world in "Olympos". He blends the world of a distant future with characters and events from a mythical past into a masterful tapestry of action and events. This story will reach out and pull you in. It is a work of true genius.

    Nice Sequel

    This book follows the book Ilium by the same author - helps to tie up some loose ends and even makes one think philosophically for a moment or two. Worth the time it took to read it.
