The Hyperion books are credited with single-handedly reinventing and reinvigorating science fiction in the 1990s. This broadly canvased, hugely imaginative, and exciting SF epic draws on the works of Keats, providing a uniquely intelligent and literary approach that combines cutting-edge science, compelling characterisation, and edge-of-your-seat excitement.

The story is continued in Endymion and The Rise of Endymion, which Gollancz will also be publishing in an omnibus volume.
