    About Hyperion

    A stunning tour de force filled with transcendent awe and wonder, Hyperion is a masterwork of science fiction that resonates with excitement and invention, the first volume in a remarkable epic by the multiple-award-winning author of The Hollow Man.

    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

    About Hyperion

    En el mundo llamado Hyperion, más allá de la Red de la Hegemonía del hombre, aguarda el Alcaudón, una singular y temible criatura a la que los miembros de la Iglesia de la Expiación Final veneran como Señor del Dolor. En vísperas del Armageddon y bajo la amenaza de una guerra entre la Hegemonía, los enjambres éxter y las inteligencias artificiales del TecnoNúcleo, siete peregrinos acuden a Hyperion para recuperar un rito religioso. Todos son portadores de esperanzas imposibles y también de terribles secretos. Tras los éxitos de La canción de Kali (premio mundial de fantasía) y Los vampiros de la mente (premios Bram Stoker y Locus de Terror), Simmons entró en el género por la puerta grande con este título y La caída de Hyperion, fundamentales en la moderna ciencia ficción.

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.
