Classic & Older Gothic
by Dan Simmons · Hyperion Cantos series
Centuries after the fall of the interstellar empire, a former soldier becomes the unlikely guardian of humanity's messiah-figure on a desperate journey through space and time. Simmons shifts from the Canterbury Tales structure of Hyperion to a more linear quest narrative infused with romance and theological speculation. The novel combines space opera scope with intimate character development as it explores love, sacrifice, and the nature of divinity.
