There has never been a sci-fi novel great than Hyperion.
Prove me wrong

Thanks for the rec /sffg/, this was pretty good and I fully intend to adhere to the advice from the previous thread to read the sequel and not touch the Endymion books.

Why does Simmons go to lengths to never reveal the Consul's name if it has no significance whatsoever to the story? It's not even mentioned or hinted at.
I've asked the same question to people I know who have read and loved Hyperion and they hadn't even realized the Consul was never named.

I can't believe the reason is that there was no point so he didn't find a name for the Consul. Having a name for a character is convenient to avoid repetitions. It seems to me that not having a name costs a lot more work than finding one.
