Hyperion

by Dan Simmons

The first half of the Hyperion Cantos, this epic tells the tale of seven pilgrims who travel to the planet Hyperion to visit the Time Tombs, home of the Shrike, a possibly mythic creature which some fear and others worship. Along the way, each traveler tells of how they came to be on the pilgrimage. Winner of the 1990 Hugo Award. Followed by THE FALL OF HYPERION.

Publisher Notes

On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all. On the eve of Armageddon, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set forth on a final voyage to Hyperion seeking the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. Each carries a desperate hope--and a terrible secret. And one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands.

Media Reviews

"The Hyperion saga is an astonishing achievement, overbrimming with adventure, lyricism and insight. A miracle of invention and economy, played out on a dozen and more meticulously created worlds, the tetralogy is surely one of science fiction's grandest visions."
