Endymion (Hyperion Cantos, #3)
Dan Simmons
The multiple-award-winning SF master returns to the universe that is his greatest success--the world of Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion--to tell a story of love and memory, triumph and terror in a novel even more magnificent than its predecessors. Two hundred and seventy-four years after the fall of the WorldWeb in Fall of Hyperion, Raoul Endymion is sent on a quest. Retrieving Aenea from the Sphinx before the Church troops reach her is only the beginning. With help from a blue-skinned android named A. Bettik, Raoul and Aenea travel the river Tethys, pursued by Father Captain Frederico DeSoya, an influential warrior-priest and his troops. The shrike continues to make enigmatic appearances, and while many questions were raised in Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion, still more are raised here. Raoul's quest will continue.

This is one of those books that if I had been reding during the pre-kindle age where the next book was six hours and a trip to the store away rather than a few taps, I would have been very upset to finish it at an inconvenient time like during the middle of lunch, yet I wouldn't be able to slow myself down and stretch it out through the end of the day. That says something if you ask me! Luckily, that isn't the case and the next book was a tap tap tap away. Thank goodness for technology.
