The concluding novels of the Hyperion Quartet are presented together for the first time. In the first part, set 274 years after the fall of the WorldWeb, Raoul Endymion embarks on a quest to rescue Aenea from the Sphinx before Church troops can capture her. Accompanied by a blue-skinned android named A. Bettik, they navigate the river Tethys while being pursued by the formidable Father Captain Frederico DeSoya and his forces. The enigmatic Shrike continues to appear, raising even more questions that began in the previous installments. Raoul's journey is just beginning. In the second part, the time of reckoning has arrived as a genocidal Crusade threatens humanity's future. Aenea, now a new messiah after her apprenticeship with the Others, must convey her profound message to her growing army of followers. Raoul, her protector and former shepherd, joins her on a final mission to uncover the universe's deeper meaning. Their journey is shadowed by the mysterious Shrike, who is poised to reveal its true origin and purpose. The narrative culminates on the planet of Hyperion, where an apocalyptic revelation will unlock the secrets of existence and humanity's fate in the galaxy.
