Contemporary classic Dan Simmons is the celebrated author of The Terror, Drood, and The Fifth Heart, the fantasy epic Hyperion/Endymion, The Dark Game of Death, and Summer of Night. He is the winner or finalist for nearly a hundred prestigious literary awards across a wide range of genres (the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy Award, Bram Stoker Award, Locus Magazine Award, Arthur C. Clarke Award, British Science Fiction Association Award, and many others, including Japanese, German, French, Italian, and Spanish awards).
