sci-fi book of all time. This and the 2nd Cantos. I’ve read both several times and they still hold my interest. Dan Simmons knows how to tell a story. Love the multiple world buildings. Ps…where is the fantastic cover art that graces Cantos 2,3 and 4 have?
Outstanding

The very, very beginning didn’t grab me but once the first tale started it was hard to put down and each unique tale thereafter weaving things together makes for a simply outstanding read. On to the next in the series!
Powerful, wonderful

One of the best introductions to the classic “space opera” genre there is. And one of the best sci-fi stories in existence.
Incredible
