Together in one volume for the first time, the first two novels of the Hyperion Cantos.
HYPERION
lt is the 29th century and the universe
of the Human Hegemony is under threat. Invasion by the warlike
Ousters looms, and the mysterious schemes of the secessionist AI
TechnoCore bring chaos ever closer.
On the eve of
disaster, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set fourth
on a final voyage to the legendary Time Tombs on Hyperion, home to
the Shrike, a lethal creature, part god and part killing machine,
whose powers transcend the limits of time and space. The pilgrims
have resolved to die before discovering anything less than the
secrets of the universe itself.
THE FALL OF
HYPERION
The mysterious Time Tombs are opening and the
Shrike that has risen from them may well control the fate of all
mankind. The Ousters are laying siege to the Hegemony of Man and
the AIs we created have turned against us to build the Ultimate
Intelligence; God. The God of Machines. His genesis could mean
annihilation for man.
Something is drawing the Hegemony,
the Ousters, the Als, the entire universe to the Shrike.
Here is a superb vision of future technology and ancient religions, of scientific revelation and timeless mystery, of transcendent joy and mind-bending horror. Here is a Hugo Award-winning landmark in Science Fiction.
