The book that reinvented Space Opera - from the Hugo and World
Fantasy Award-winning author of The Terror, which is now a chilling
TV show. It is the 29th century and the universe of the Human
Hegemony is under threat. Invasion by the warlike Ousters looms,
and the mysterious schemes of the secessionist AI TechnoCore bring
chaos ever closer. On the eve of disaster, with the entire galaxy
at war, seven pilgrims set fourth on a final voyage to the
legendary Time Tombs on Hyperion, home to the Shrike, a lethal
creature, part god and part killing machine, whose powers transcend
the limits of time and space. The pilgrims have resolved to die
before discovering anything less than the secrets of the universe
itself. Readers are hooked on Hyperion: 'One of the best epic, old
mythology, and literature inspired, mindblowing, amazingly
ingeniously written space operas' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
⭐ ⭐ 'The scope of imagination, wordplay, and critical analysis
of humankind is astounding . . . this is a story-driven narrative,
and the stories that we're given are well worth the entry into a
brave, new, unfamiliar world' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
⭐ 'Hyperion has that indescribable, almost lovecraftian terror,
dread and brooding present throughout' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Combine the artful poetry of John Keats with a science
fiction retelling of the Canterbury Tales . . . what you have is
Hyperion. A masterpiece of literature' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'A science fiction classic . . . If you count yourself
an sf fan you need to read this. If you just want to read a damn
good book this is also for you' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
