Endymion
Dan Simmons

Raul Endymion must shepherd Aenea – daughter of two Hyperion pilgrims – across worlds while the Catholic Church’s Pax hunts her. The farcaster network is gone, the universe has changed, and the cruciforms that once horrified now form the basis of civilisation. A chase narrative across exotic worlds.
Review
Road trip through the Galaxy - at different speeds. Also, the best chapter of the original Hyperion makes a fascinating return here.
