Genre: Space / Sci-fi
A group of seven is on a voyage to Hyperion to visit the
Time Tombs. Awaiting them is a devious
creature called the Shrike. Each of
their stories is twined together to make up a bigger plot.
Back Cover:
On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony
of Man, there waits the 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.
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 new science fiction
epic by the multiple-award-winning author of The Hollow Man.
I liked the majority of the characters stories. They tied in well together. I only have two negative things to say about
this book…Sometimes I lost interest while reading, that’s probably a (me)
problem more than the books problem though.
Also, the story for this felt very incomplete, but that might be due to
the fact that there are more books in this series. At first I was feeling a 3/5, but after
completing it I’ll have to go with a 4/5.
That being said I’m unsure if I will read the rest, as I have started
too many series! I need to start
finishing some.
Shame on anyone who thinks evil of this.
