Description

The Rise of Endymion is the breathtaking conclusion to Dan Simmons' monumental Hyperion Cantos. In this final act, the intertwined destinies of Aenea, Raul Endymion, and the far-flung Church of the Final Atonement reach a transcendent crescendo. Simmons merges theology, technology, and tragedy into one of modern science fiction's most profound endings.

This copy is a first edition, first printing hardcover, personally signed by Dan Simmons. It represents the original 1997 Bantam Spectra release—prior to later reprints or book club editions—and remains one of the definitive collectible versions of the novel.

• Original 1997 hardcover publication by Bantam Spectra
• Authentic author signature (not facsimile)
• Complete with original dust jacket design
• Final installment of the Hyperion saga

Collectible Value

• Signed First Edition: Scarce and highly sought after—author-signed copies of the 1997 first printing are limited and command premium collector interest.
• Condition Sensitivity: Dust jacket edges, spine cloth, and page toning are key determinants of grade; Fine copies remain uncommon.
• Canonical Significance: The closing chapter of Simmons' acclaimed space opera, recipient of multiple Hugo and Locus nominations.
