Amazing book! The elevator pitch is Canterbury Tales in space, but it's very well done and the sequels are ace as well. Totally worth the $2.
Amazing book. The audiobooks of the series are free on YouTube, including Endymion.

Book 2 is the second half to Book 1. Book 4 is the ending of Book 3. Two stories basically. This is my favorite book of all time, not just fav sci fi.
You should read "On my way to paradise", a very enjoyable book. It has an interesting take on 80s sci-fi. If you read it, report back so you can give me your thoughts.

How come they haven't made this into a tv show yet?
PLEASE GOD NOOOOO!!!!! While I don't want to jinx it, I think the sprawling nature of the story makes it's hard to adapt for the narrow focus that Amazon or Netflix execs are looking for.

Won both Hugo and Nebula awards. This was a stellar book. The sequels ran out of steam by #3, but this one a gem.
I had no idea that there was a third and fourth book.

Ok I think I did read them all then. I'm misremembering book 1 and 2 as book 1 and 3 and 4 as book 2.

I just got an email back from Amazon that March 15th is 2x Kindle Rewards points day - I'm not too familiar with this program, but looks like I got double points for purchasing this today (rcv'd 12 points versus 6 points without 2x). Anybody on the fence, here's more incentive to get at this price today? Happy reading!

Been wanting to read this book for a while. Went to purchase and turns out I already purchased it in 2022 for the samd price. šŸ¤£

Comes every couple years for this price - mine was 4 years ago I think. Great series...

CGI is maybe getting to just good enough to do justice to Martin Silenus' house... still needs a while. Too early to think of adapting for TV.

This one was great. Unlike some in the thread, I found the second book overwhelming. It was neat to see it all come together, but it was a lot.

I Audibled both 1 and 2, so maybe reading would be different.
