Synopsis "olympos"

Beneath the gaze of the gods, the mighty armies of Greece and Troy met in fierce and glorious combat, scrupulously following the text set forth in Homer's timeless narrative. But that was before twenty-first-century scholar Thomas Hockenberry stirred the bloody brew, causing an enraged Achilles to join forces with his archenemy Hector and turn his murderous wrath on Zeus and the entire pantheon of divine manipulators; before the swift and terrible mechanical creatures that catered for centuries to the pitiful idle remnants of Earth's human race began massing in the millions, to exterminate rather than serve.And now all bets are off.

Dan Simmons was born in 1948 in Peoria (Illinois, USA). After eighteen years dedicated to teaching literature, in 1987 he decided to dedicate himself full-time to writing. Since then, he has cultivated all kinds of genres (from fantasy, to horror and historical fiction), although he is best known for his contribution in the field of science fiction.

He is the author of Hyperion (winner of the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1990), the first novel of the acclaimed series "The Hyperion Cantos", which includes Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and The Rise of Endymion. Simmons has become an undisputed reference in contemporary science fiction.
