Alas, Dan Simmons, called away to the time war. Hyperion cantos, Summer of Night, Song of Kali (it's a horror story, not a travelogue), The Terror (I haven't seen the series, but I can guess it's 10% as cruel as the book), read them all. I bounced on Ilium, but that was probably just me at that time, I know some like it a lot.
