Was it ILIUM or OLYMPOS where the absurd Islamophobia really got into full swing? Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 25/05/2017 06:49:17 AM

In Hyperion one of the main characters is Muslim, but I recall a brief discussion in Ilium or Olympos about how the global caliphate or what have you was responsible for destroying pretty much everything.

It wasn't even particularly interesting Islamophobia.

I've said on many occasions I found Books 1-6 entertaining - 21/05/2017 05:17:11 PM 815 Views
The first book is on you but if you read the other 7 that is on you. - 22/05/2017 05:43:52 PM 770 Views
Keep it that way. The Endymion books nearly ruined the entire series for me. Terrible. *NM* - 23/05/2017 03:46:14 AM 416 Views
