Hyperion

Hyperion (1989) is the first volume of Dan Simmons's Hyperion Cantos, structured as a Canterbury Tales-style pilgrimage in which seven travelers journey to the world of Hyperion to confront the Time Tombs and the creature known as the Shrike. Each pilgrim tells their story along the way, and the six tales range from military SF to romance to horror, each illuminating a different aspect of the far-future Hegemony of Man. The novel is as much about storytelling as it is about its science fictional premise, and Simmons sustains an ambitious structural conceit across five hundred pages without losing momentum. Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel, 1990.
