DAN SIMMONS - GEBRAUCHT HYPERION - PREIS VOM 02...

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
epic by the multiple-award-winning author of The Hollow Man.   On the world called Hyperion 
beyond the reach of galactic law  waits a 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.   Praise for Dan Simmons and Hyperion   "Dan Simmons has brilliantly
conceptualized a future 700 years distant. In sheer scope and complexity it matches  and
perhaps even surpasses  those of Isaac Asimov and James Blish."-The Washington Post Book World
"An unfailingly inventive narrative . . . generously conceived and stylistically
sure-handed."-The New York Times Book Review   "Simmons's own genius transforms space opera
into a new kind of poetry."-The Denver Post   "An essential part of any science fiction
collection."-Booklist
