The pilgrims who went to the Tombs of Time are looking for the Shrike, but the demonic itself hunts for them.
Dan Simmons is a renowned American writer, one of the few who works in almost all genres — fantasy, science fiction, horror, history books, detective stories, mainstream. His works have been translated into many languages and published in 27 countries. However, among fans of science fiction, his name is strongly associated with the tetralogy about Hyperion, which has earned the recognition of millions of people.
The «Songs of Hyperion» dilogy describes a world that truly amazes the imagination with its complexity, novelty and epic scale. The world of the great river Tethys — and the interstellar Hegemony that connects hundreds of planets with null portals. The world of space nomads and almighty AIs, mysterious Tombs of Time and the ruthless «angel of death» Shrike. A world in which the fates of the Soldier and the Priest, the Scientist and the Poet, the Detective and the Consul are intricately intertwined.
