Hyperion by Dan Simmons. New York: Doubleday, 1989. First Edition. Winner of the Hugo Award for best novel. Signed by the author on the title page.
The first book in the Hyperion Cantos series. The novel’s narrative structure is modeled on Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, as it tells the stories of six people who are on a pilgrimage to the Time Tombs, guarded by the Shrike. Simmons followed this up with The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and The Rise of Endymion.
