Muse of Fire (2008)
Muse of Fire takes place in a remote future age in which the human enterprise has all but ground to a halt. Earth, drained of its oceans and populated largely by the dead, is little more than a distant memory. The scattered human remnants occupy the lowest rung of a Gnostic hierarchy that dominates both their secular and spiritual lives. Against this backdrop, Simmons introduces the Earth’s Men, a wandering troupe of players dedicated to presenting the works of Shakespeare to every accessible corner of the settled universe.The story begins on the planet known as 25-25-261B, a regular stop on the players’ interstellar tour. A routine performance of Much Ado About Nothing is in progress when an unprecedented event occurs. A band of Archons – members of the usually invisible ruling caste – enter the makeshift theater and join the audience. In doing so, they change the course of human – and non-human – history. What follows is an intellectual adventure story of astonishing richness and depth in which disparate species face each other across an insurmountable divide, their only point of contact the indelible language of William Shakespeare, the story’s true muse. Skillfully deploying the elements of traditional science fiction – advanced technologies, alien encounters, strange new worlds – Muse of Fire entertains and illuminates while celebrating the best, most durable elements of our cultural legacy. It is a work of wit, erudition, and tightly compressed grandeur that only Dan Simmons could have written.
Fires of Eden (1994)
Byron Trumbo owns the Hawaiian resort of Mauna Pele, but he has a problem – his guests keep disappearing. Giant beasts capable of human speech are spotted and visitors turn up dead and dismembered. It falls to two guests, Eleanor and Cordie, to face the immortal enemies of the volcano goddess Pele.
Worlds Enough and Time (2002)
An extraordinary artist with few rivals in his chosen arena, Dan Simmons possesses a restless talent that continually presses boundaries while tantalizing the mind and touching the soul. Now he offers us a superb quintet of novellas — five dazzling masterworks of speculative fiction, including "Orphans of the Helix," his award-winning return to the Hyperion Universe — that demonstrates the unique mastery, breathtaking invention, and flawless craftsmanship of one of contemporary fiction’s true greats. Human colonists seeking something other than godhood encounter their long-lost "cousins"…and an ancient scourge. A devastated man in suicide’s embrace is caught up in a bizarre cat-and-mouse game with a young woman possessing a world-ending power. The distant descendants of a once-oppressed people learn a chilling lesson about the persistence of the past. A terrifying ascent up the frigid, snow-swept slopes of K2 shatters preconceptions and reveals the true natures of four climbers, one of whom is not human. At the intersection of a grand past and a threadbare present, an aging American in Russia confronts his own mortality as he glimpses a wondrous future.
The Guiding Nose of Ulfant Banderoz
The narrative begins at a critical moment in the Dying Earth’s history, a moment when signs and portents indicate that the long anticipated death of the planet is finally at hand. Against this backdrop, Simmons’s protagonist–Shrue the diabolist–learns of the death of Ulfant Banderoz, ancient magus and sole proprietor of the legendary Ultimate Library and Final Compendium of Thaumaturgical Lore. Determined to possess its secrets, Shrue sets out in search of the fabled library, guided by the severed nose of the deceased magician. The narrative that follows tells the story of that quest, a quest whose outcome will affect the fate of the entire dying planet.
