Description

In the 29th century, the universe of the Human Hegemony is threatened by the warlike Ousters and the mysterious schemes of the secessionist AI TechnoCore. On the eve of disaster, seven pilgrims embark on a final voyage to the legendary Time Tombs on Hyperion, home to the Shrike, a lethal creature whose powers transcend the limits of time and space.

With the entire galaxy at war, the pilgrims have resolved to die before discovering anything less than the secrets of the universe itself. This ambitious space opera combines elements of old mythology and literature, creating a mind-blowing and ingeniously written narrative that explores the scope of imagination and wordplay.

A masterpiece of science fiction, Hyperion is a story-driven narrative that will transport you to a brave, new, unfamiliar world. With its unique blend of artful poetry and science fiction, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of the genre and anyone looking for a damn good book.
