The Hyperion books are credited with single-handedly reinventing and reinvigorating SF in the 1990s. A broad canvased, hugely imaginative and exciting SF epic, the books draw on the works of Keats and provide a uniquely intelligent and literary approach with cutting edge science, compelling characterisation and edge-of-your-seat excitement. The story is continued in ENDYMION and THE RISE OF ENDYMION, which Gollancz will also be publishing in an omnibus volume.

Get this book now.

I'll spare you the synopsis. I was first skeptical of the odd looking cover and the interest in learning about the Seven Pilgrims, but Dan Simmons writes with breath-taking ferocity. The Hyperion series is the horrifying, wonderous, enchanting obsessive-stay-up-all-night to read thriller that I had been looking for, for years. The storyline unfolds in so many satisfying ways, the truth is always a chapter away. Hyperion's world is as rich as any other I've ever encountered. It is Asimov's Foundation with the kiddie gloves off. It's like the first 2 books of Dune before it gets weird with Leto II. ( You know what I mean) But I shall dare say this.
Hyperion is better.
Way better.
It is beautiful, brutal, incredible, satisfying and deserving of every sci-fi fan's adoration. It was amazing enough for me that I'm actually here writing a review imploring you to not only buy this book, but buy it NEW so that Dan Simmons can get rewarded with your hard earned money. Or you can be a miser and say to hell with Dan Simmons. Whatever the case, just buy this book. (It has the first two "Hyperion" and "Fall of Hyperion".) And pick up Endymion and The Rise of Endymion while you're at it. Now!!!! (Click)

Simmons' two science fiction classics under one cover as they were meant to be
By Wayne Klein
As war rages above the planet Hyperion seven pilgrims embark on a journey that six of them may never return from. They are on a pilgrimage to the Time Tombs an area of the planet where time runs in reverse and that is guarded by the three meter tall four armed metallic Shrike a creature covered with spikes with red glowing eyes and no sense of mercy. The creature can appear at any time, any place with no warning taking its victims in a seemingly random fashion. The Church of the Shrike believes that the Lord of Pain has come to announce the end of the universe and a time for atonement. Oh, and the seven pilgrims have all been warned that there is a traitor among them.
Each of the pilgrims have their own reason for going on this journey of no return. One wants to save the life of his daughter who is aging backwards after encountering the Shrike; one wants to kill the creature after being duped into starting the war; another believes that somehow he brought the Shrike back when he wrote his Hyperion Cantos. They are all seeking answers which might result in death. The Shrike's reappearence means the end of everything to many and an answer to mysteries for others.
Dan Simmons' first two books in his quartet set in and around the planet Hyperion is a well written space opera that lives up to the genres potential--it is epic storytelling that really hasn't been seen since Frank Herbert's DUNE series or John Varley's Gaean trilogy. While the prose can often become overly florid at times, Simmons does a terrific job of creating his universe and the characters that inhabit it. Many have pointed out the parallels to The Canterbury Tales and with good reason--Simmons is an educated writer that isn't afraid to throw in literary references to enrich his story.
This book along with Endymion, The Rise of Endymion (again, both were written as a single novel) and the short story "Orphans of the Helix" (published in the collection Worlds Enough & Time)are all worth reading. Don't let those who argue that Simmons' intelligent references to other novels is a bad thing--he makes assumptions about the intelligence of his readers--it just enhances the experience.

Collects "Hyperion" and "The Fall of Hyperion"
By Lonnie E. Holder
My brother gave me this very good book, which collects the Hugo Award winning book "Hyperion" and "The Fall of Hyperion." The two books are two parts of a single story and need to be read together, which makes this omnibus invaluable. Thank you brother! I have read less science fiction in recent years, principally because of the difficulty of finding good science fiction. These two books are great if you like science fiction that requires concentration and analysis.
In the 29th century, mankind is under threat of invasion by the Ousters. An invincible robot-like creature called the Shrike may hold the key to defeating the ousters. However, the Shrike may also be the doom of mankind. Seven pilgrims and one child journey to see the Shrike. In "Hyperion," we learn that each pilgrim was selected for various reasons that relate to Hyperion and often to the Shrike itself.
After the pilgrims have gathered on a treeship, a spaceship as bizarre as any I have seen described in science fiction, the pilgrims each tell their stories in turn. Since some of the stories are quite lengthy, the stories continue after the pilgrims land on Hyperion and journey to the Time Tombs. Each story explains the background of the pilgrims, the political situation and history of mankind up to the 29th century, and gives intriguing backgrounds to the pilgrims. I generally found the stories interesting, though the story of the poet was the most boring, at first. The poet's story becomes more interesting as it nears the end, and we learn in "The Fall of Hyperion" that the poet's story is critical.
I found many aspects of this novel interesting and unique. There are the people who follow the crucifix; people who may potentially live forever. There are the catacombs below Hyperion. Who built the catacombs and what is their purpose? What is the nature of the Shrike, including its incredible power to manipulate time? How did Rachel come grow younger each day after an encounter with the Time Tombs? What does the artificial intelligence Technocore have to do with the Ousters and the Shrike? This book asks many more questions, and the journey through "The Fall of Hyperion" will provide the answers.
As the pilgrims journey to Hyperion and then to the Time Tombs on Hyperion, the Ousters approach Hyperion, and the pilgrimage becomes a race against time. Rachel continues to grow younger each day, approaching the date of her birth. What will happen to Rachel then?
In "Hyperion" we learned the story of each of the Pilgrims. In this book each of the pilgrims encounters the Shrike, and others, in their own way. We finally learn the true nature of Rachel's decreasing age, and learn that Rachel's life is very complex. We also learn the nature of the Shrike and the Technocore. What of the Ousters, on their way to invading Human worlds? Are they prepared to conquer all mankind for reasons we have yet to fathom?
"The Fall of Hyperion" fully reveals the epic started in "Hyperion." This incredibly complex story is one of the best science fiction novels I have read in two decades. I compare this novel to Asimov's Foundation Trilogy and to Herbert's "Dune." There may be a few slow moments in this book, but those moments are necessary to set up the ending of this incredible novel. Be warned, this story is heavy going and will demand a lot of concentration to get to the end.
I enjoy a challenging science fiction book, and these two books are challenging. The novels are Dickensian in complexity. Read this omnibus only when you have the time and desire to read a story that requires intense concentration and analysis.
