Perfect for you if...

You loved the first Hyperion book and need to know how this sprawling space opera actually concludes.
You enjoy hard science fiction that takes philosophy and temporal mechanics seriously alongside massive-scale warfare.
You're drawn to stories where multiple factions and intelligences are all playing different games, and chaos erupts when their plans collide.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots over intricate worldbuilding, because this book demands patience and re-reading.
You want clear heroes and villains, because Simmons gives you dozens of morally complicated characters instead.
You haven't read Hyperion yet, because jumping in here will leave you completely lost.

About this book

The second novel in the Hyperion Cantos continues the epic adventure from Hyperion. The opening of the Time Tombs threatens to alter the fabric of time and space. War has spread across the Web. Chaos grips the corridors of power on Tau Ceti Center. The artificial intelligences of the TechnoCore, operating beyond the reach of clashing empires, manipulate events and people. On Hyperion itself, battle rages in the skies and streets as the mysterious Time Tombs open. The secrets contained within them will transform everything in the universe.
