Taking the events and characters of the Iliad as his jumping- off point, Dan Simmons has created an epic of time travel and savage warfare. Travellers from 40,000 years in the future return to Homer's Greece and rewrite history forever, their technology impacting on the population in a godlike fashion. This is broad scope space opera rich in classical and literary allusion, from one of the key figures in 1990s world SF. Ilium marks a return to the genre for one of its greats.

Gleich wie die Blätter im Walde, so der Menschen Geschlecht, dies wächst und jenes verschwindet ... Thomas Hockenberry, ehemaliger Professor für Philosophie, wird nach seinem Tod auserwählt, im Auftrag der Muse Kalliope als Kriegsberichterstatter in Ilium tätig zu werden. Als sogenannter Scholiker mit raffinierten High-Tech-Geräten ausgestattet, die es ihm ermöglichen, mitten im Kampfgetümmel zu erscheinen und in Sekundenbruchteilen wieder zu verschwinden, soll er der Muse Zeugnis geben von den Wechselfällen des Trojanischen Krieges. Hockenberry kennt Homers "Ilias" genau und merkt bald, dass sich zwischen dem, was er sieht, und den Versen Homers beträchtliche Diskrepanzen auftun. Hat sich der berühmte griechische Epiker in sträflicher Weise dichterische Freiheiten erlaubt? Oder befindet er, Hockenberry, sich etwa im falschen Krieg? Mit »Ilium« und dem Nachfolgeband »Olympos« legt Dan Simmons eines der größten Zukunftsepen des beginnenden 21. Jahrhunderts vor.

Helen of Troy is in mourning for her dead husband, Paris. Killed in single combat with the merciless Apollo, his body is nothing but a scorched and blasted thing. Hockenberry, her lover, still sneaks from her bed after their nights of lovemaking. And the gods still strike out from the besieged Olympos, their single-molecule bomb casings quantum phase-shifting through the moravecs' force shield and laying waste to Ilium. Or so Hockenberry and the amusing little metal creature, Mahnmut, have tried to explain to her. Helen of Troy does not give a fig about machines. She must dress for the funeral. And man and the gods and the unknown players in this tragedy must prepare for the final act. And a battle that will decide the future of the universe itself.

Set in the dark world of international espionage, from London to Mallorca, Croatia, Paris, and Cap Ferret: the gripping and suspenseful story of a young woman who unwittingly becomes a perfect asset in the long overdue finale of a covert special op The young English narrator of Lea Carpenter’s dazzling new novel has grown up unhappily in London, dreaming of escape, pretending to be someone else and obsessed with a locked private garden. On the eve of her twenty-first birthday, at a party near that garden, she meets its charismatic and mysterious new owner, Marcus, thirty-three years older, who sweeps her off her feet. Before long they are married at his finca in Mallorca, and at last she has escaped into a new role – but at what price? On their honeymoon in Croatia, Marcus reveals there is something she can do for him—a plan is in place and she can help with “a favor.” This turns out to be posing as an art advisor to a family on Cap Ferret, where Marcus asks her to simply “listen.” A helicopter deposits her at a remote, highly guarded and lavishly appointed compound on a spit of land in the Atlantic. It’s presided over by an enigmatic, charming patriarch Edouard, along with his wife Dasha, children Nikki and Felix, and populated by a revolving cast of other guests—some suspicious, some intriguing, perhaps none, like her, what they seem. Brilliantly compelling, this is a spellbinding and unexpectedly poignant story of a long- planned, high-stakes CIA-Mossad operation that only needed the right asset to complete.

Ilium, c'est Troie. Troie, c'est la guerre chantée par Homère dans l'Iliade. Mais le mont Olympe est situé sur Mars et les dieux qui l'habitent, conformes à l'imagerie antique, abusent des facilités quantiques en guise de pouvoirs surhumains. Quasiment immortels, ils se déplacent à travers le temps et l'espace. Leur spectacle favori, voire obsessionnel, demeure cette guerre qui se déroule sur Terre et dont aucun d'eux ne connaît l'issue. Aucun sauf Zeus, évidemment. Pour vérifier la conformité de la guerre réelle avec ce qu'en a conté Homère, les scholiastes, des érudits pêchés à différents moments de l'histoire, sont dotés de pouvoirs secondaires non négligeables, ainsi celui d'emprunter l'identité d'un Grec ou d'un Troyen le temps de leur observation. Hockenberry est l'un de ces scholiastes, ressuscité, extrait du XXe siècle et enrôlé contre son gré par Aphrodite en personne pour une mission secrète : faire triompher les Troyens, assassiner Athéné. Pour leur part, les Moravecs, Intelligences Artificielles, qui vivent autour des planètes extérieures, commencent à s'inquiéter de la débauche de manipulations quantiques qui a pour source Mars. Elle menace le système solaire et peut-être l'univers tout entier. Ophu d'Io et Mahnmut sont envoyés y voir ce qu'il s'y passe. L'un ne jure que par Shakespeare, l'autre que par Proust. Et sur Mars, de petits hommes verts érigent sans fin des statues géantes dans le style de celles de l'île de Pâques. Tandis que sur terre, les Derniers Hommes, au nombre exact de un million, jouent les sybarites décadents. Dan Simmons, l'auteur du Cycle d'Hypérion, a transposé dans le grandiose avenir avec génie, humour, culture et rigueur, la fameuse Iliade. La Guerre de Troie, comme si vous y étiez. Vue de demain.

How far would you go to climb the corporate ladder? How far could you fall? Frank Donnelly and Jim Collins are newcomers at Ilium Electric, where dreams are made and shattered in equal measure. It's the late 60s, and Ilium is in a position to shape the future of the American Dream. Where do Donnelly-a former fire marshal-and Collins-an ex-cop-fit in? Naturally, at the bottom of the barrel. While chasing an assignment that could only be handed down to the lowest of the low on Ilium's totem pole, these two men come across a project that could work wonders for their new company, and their place within it. Sure, a mobile electric chair-an "Electrified Comfort Chair"-might seem dangerous, with an extremely limited clientele at first, but that's where Donnelly and Collins come in. Their job is simple: sell the product. To their bosses, and to the public. When tragedy strikes at the first public unveiling of this new luxurious piece of new-age comfort, however, things get more complicated. How can you sell a product that can kill so easily? Especially when no one knows how it happened, or whom to blame? This is the job that Donnelly and Collins didn't know they signed up for. This is corporate America. This is ILIUM.
