In the world of Hyperion, beyond the Hegemony of Man's network, awaits the Shrike, a singular and terrible creature venerated as Lord of Pain. On the eve of Armageddon, seven pilgrims head to Hyperion to resurrect an ancient religious rite, each carrying impossible hopes and terrible secrets. A diplomat, a priest, a soldier, a poet, a professor, a detective, and a navigator intertwine their destinies in search of the Shrike, tracking the Time Tombs, majestic constructions that harbor a secret of the future. This acclaimed novel by Dan Simmons, winner of the Hugo Award, is the first installment of the tetralogy 'The Hyperion Cantos', a fundamental saga of modern science fiction.
