Luis Torrens Linsanity run incoming

I mean first of all fuck this completely but if you're going to do stupid ass geographical realignment don't also saddle us with four team divisions ffs

At this point in Hyperion (the last sci-fi landmark I read--like six months ago) I was already blown away by Simmons' virtuosity. Here I really like a lot of it but is it just sort of a picaresque to this point?
