Book Description

Hyperion is a sweeping science fiction epic structured around the interlinked stories of seven pilgrims journeying to the distant world of Hyperion, each seeking answers—or redemption—at the hands of the mysterious and deadly Shrike. As their personal tales unfold against a backdrop of interstellar politics, artificial intelligence, and impending war, the novel weaves together themes of faith, love, time, and sacrifice. Richly imaginative and formally inventive, Hyperion redefined modern space opera.
