これは、読まずに死ねない本でしょう。
SFというジャンルには囚われない、神秘的でSFの王道・セオリーを極めてもいて、小説的、且つ詩的、更に、登場人物のパーソナリティが活きている。
ひとこと、ふたことでは語り尽くせないのです。
そして、訳者の酒井氏、この人の力によるところも侮れない。
上下巻で1,100頁あるが、これは第一部の「ハイペリオン」、この第二部「ハイペリオンの没落」で完結するお話。

内容紹介
The Hyperion books are credited with single-handedly reinventing and reinvigorating
SF in the 1990s. A broad canvased, hugely imaginative and exciting SF epic,
the books draw on the works of Keats and provide a uniquely intelligent
and literary approach with 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.

内容紹介
The magnificent conclusion to one of the greatest science fiction sagas
of our time
The time of reckoning has arrived. As a final genocidal Crusade threatens
to enslave humanity forever, a new messiah has come of age. She is Aenea
and she has undergone a strange apprenticeship to those known as the Others.
Now her protector, Raul Endymion, one-time shepherd and convicted murderer,
must help her deliver her startling message to her growing army of disciples.
But first they must embark on a final spectacular mission to discover the
underlying meaning of the universe itself. They have been followed on their
journey by the mysterious Shrike--monster, angel, killing machine--who
is about to reveal the long-held secret of its origin and purpose. And
on the planet of Hyperion, where the story first began, the final revelation
will be delivered--an apocalyptic message that unlocks the secrets of existence
and the fate of humankind in the galaxy.
