«Hyperion» is the science fiction novel by Dan Simmons, published by Ediciones B in hardcover (592 pages, in Spanish).
Seven pilgrims —a diplomat, a priest, a soldier, a poet, a professor, a detective and a navigator— travel to the planet Hyperion in search of the Shrike, a creature venerated as the Lord of Pain, and of the Time Tombs. Each carries hopes and secrets that reveal, in their tales, a civilization on the brink of war.
First installment of the «Cantos de Hyperion» saga, in a translation by Carlos Gardini; the original work was published in 1989.
For readers of science fiction and space opera who want a classic winner of the Hugo and Locus awards.
