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

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.
