If you liked Ilium and Olympos, I would estimate that you will enjoy
Hyperion, and possibly the other three books too. I think you can get
The Hyperion Omnibus (the first two books) and
The Endymion Omnibus (the last two books) now as well, in pbook form. I actually preferred the entire series (known as
The Hyperion Cantos) to
Ilium and
Olympos, though Mahnmut and Orphu from the latter are two of my favourite book characters.
My personal opinion is that the Hyperion Cantos is better, but, as you can see from Penforhire's comments, opinions differ.
I've never read
A Fire Upon The Deep, though I just noticed it the other day in my TBR pile, even though I have no recollection of ever buying it.
Cheers,
Marc
