On the world of Hyperion, beyond the Hegemony of Man's network, awaits the Shrike, a singular and fearsome creature venerated as the Lord of Pain. On the eve of Armageddon, seven pilgrims journey to Hyperion to reclaim a religious rite, each with impossible hopes and terrible secrets. This acclaimed novel by Dan Simmons, winner of the Hugo and Locus awards, is the first installment of the 'Hyperion Cantos' tetralogy, a fundamental saga of modern science fiction. The story intertwines adventure, cyberpunk, and allegory, paying homage to John Keats and the Canterbury Tales.
Daniel Joseph Simmons was an American science fiction and horror writer.
