On the world called Hyperion, beyond the reach of galactic law, waits a creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all. On the eve of Armageddon, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set forth on a final voyage to Hyperion seeking the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. Each carries a desperate hope--and a terrible secret. And one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands. Praise for Dan Simmons and Hyperion "Dan Simmons has brilliantly conceptualized a future 700 years distant. In sheer scope and complexity it matches, and perhaps even surpasses, those of Isaac Asimov and James Blish." -- The Washington Post Book World "An unfailingly inventive narrative . . . generously conceived and stylistically sure-handed." -- The New York Times Book Review "Simmons's own genius transforms space opera into a new kind of poetry." -- The Denver Post "An essential part of any science fiction collection." -- Booklist Review: Mix of sci-fi and fantasy! - Very enjoyable read and no issues with the print. Review: Gripping SciFi - Dan Simmons has the ability to send vivid images to your imagination, and make them come alive. The story itself, composed of intertwining plots, unravels as each one of the protagonists offers his or her own version of events. This is the first book of the Hyperion Cantos. If you like it, be sure to check out The Fall of Hyperion, which brings the first part of Dan Simmons' Hyperion History to a close. There are two follow up novels, Endymion and The Rise of Endymion, which are a continuation of the narrative arch initiated with Hyperion. These books are all full of intertextuality and are laced with (English) literary, historical and philosophical references (apart from the one Simmons invents). If you like reflexive Sci-Fi you will fall in love with the Hyperion Cantos. ## Features - Hyperion 1 Hyperion Cantos - Abis Book - Del rey books ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #210,537 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #51 in Space Operas #79 in Science Fiction Adventures | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,400 Reviews | ## Images ![Hyperion - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HdTYTJYqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mix of sci-fi and fantasy! *by T***R on 12 February 2026* Very enjoyable read and no issues with the print. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gripping SciFi *by J***. on 5 October 2015* Dan Simmons has the ability to send vivid images to your imagination, and make them come alive.
