    The Fall of Hyperion: The second book in the Hyperion Cantos, the legendary science fiction classic

    Dan Simmons

    Formats & Editions

    The multiple-award-winning science fiction master continues the epic adventure that began in Hyperion, where the opening of the Time Tombs threatens to alter the very fabric of time and space, in the second novel in the ground breaking Hyperion Cantos.

    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 AIs, the entire universe to the Shrike.

    Readers love Hyperion, where the story first began:

    Praise for The Fall of Hyperion

    Dan Simmons

    Dan Simmons (1948-2026) was born in Illinois in 1948 and grew up in various cities and small towns in the Midwest. He received a BA in English from Wabash College in 1970, winning a national Phi Beta Kappa Award during his senior year for excellence in fiction, journalism and art. His first published story appeared on the day his daughter was born, in 1982, and he always attributed that coincidence to 'helping in keeping things in perspective when it comes to the relative importance of writing and life'. He became a full-time writer in 1987 and was one of the few novelists whose work spanned the genres of fantasy, science fiction, horror, suspense, historical fiction, noir crime fiction and mainstream literary fiction. Dan Simmons won numerous awards, including the Hugo, World Fantasy (for his debut novel, Song of Kali (1985)) and Bram Stoker.
