Hyperion

Synopsis

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.
