Synopsis
On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. Seven pilgrims have been chosen to make a final voyage to the Time Tombs, mysterious structures that are moving backward through time. Each pilgrim carries a desperate hope and a terrible secret, and one of them may hold the fate of all humanity in their hands.
