Ilium
The Trojan War rages at the foot of Olympos Mons on Mars -- observed and influenced from on high by Zeus and his immortal family -- and twenty-first-century professor Thomas Hockenberry is there to play a role in the insidious private wars of vengeful gods and goddesses. On Earth, a small band of the few remaining humans pursues a lost past and devastating truth -- as four sentient machines depart from Jovian space to investigate, perhaps terminate, the potentially catastrophic emissions emanating from a mountaintop miles above the terraformed surface of the Red Planet.

Ilium. Dan Simmons. Everything that happens, happens for a reason. I'm no atheist. Spirituality is a language, a pattern we employ to realize our intent. And it's awesome. https://t.co/rrYiUs0Bse https://t.co/Ltx5F91eRY
artist & writer, he/they.
I only know about the manuscript because it *sort of* gets referenced in the Dan Simmons novel Ilium. Which I haven't read in years and now sounds utterly unhinged also https://t.co/GntfvwCXTQ

When asked why he prefers 'genre fiction', Dan Simmons (Hyperion, Ilium, The Terror) replied: "Why didn't Borges go to more World Fantasy Conventions?" The absolute best writers do indeed transcend the need for nests. https://t.co/zIsb6SBxkF
