A Hugo Award-Winning Sci-Fi Epic of Pilgrim Tales, The Shrike, and Time Tombs

On the eve of an interstellar war between the Hegemony of Man and the nomadic Ousters, seven pilgrims journey to the mysterious frontier world of Hyperion. Their destination is the Time Tombs—ancient, enigmatic structures moving backward through time, guarded by the Shrike, a terrifying, razor-clad deity of pain.

Structured like Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, each pilgrim—a priest, a soldier, a poet, a scholar, a detective, a consul, and a star-captain—recounts their personal connection to Hyperion. As their stories unfold, they reveal a sprawling cosmic conspiracy involving sentient artificial intelligences, galactic war, and human extinction.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Dan Simmons's Hugo Award-winning masterpiece is widely considered one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written. Blending literary prose, philosophical scope, and terrifying cosmic mystery, this novel is essential reading for every sci-fi collector.
