Olympos

Dan Simmons`s extraordinarily complex, epic science fictional exploration of Homer`s ILIAD, the structure and history of human literature, and the future of humanity wraps up in this sequel to ILIUM. The far-future reenactment of the Trojan War on an alternate version of Mars goes wildly off track as the Greeks and Trojans temporarily forget their differences to fight against the post-humans who have taken on the roles and powers of the Greek gods. Aiding them in their battle are the moravecs, part-organic sentient machines from Jupiter`s moons. Meanwhile on Earth, the Eloi-like humans desperately scramble to resist their now dangerously violent former slaves, the voynix, and the forces of the evil alien Setebos.
