    Nel 2700 gli esseri umani, grazie allo sviluppo della tecnologia dei teleporter, si spostano istantaneamente nella galassia, ma un terribile esperimento, il Grande Errore, ha causato la distruzione della Terra e la diaspora dell’uomo nello spazio, dando vita così a una nuova federazione che unisce tutti i mondi abitati: l’Egemonia dell’Uomo. Alla vigilia dell’Armageddon, sette pellegrini affrontano un ultimo viaggio verso Hyperion, in cerca delle risposte agli enigmi della loro vita. Ognuno di loro deve raccontare agli altri la propria storia, per farsi conoscere e dimostrare di non essere una spia. I racconti dei sette ruotano intorno ai mondi e alle difficoltà che circondano lo spazio: dalla minaccia degli Ouster, discendenti dei primi coloni che fanno a meno della tecnologia, al ruolo della Chiesa Shrike, temuta da tutti. E in questi racconti, di una bellezza sfolgorante, sta la chiave che permetterebbe loro di salvare l’umanità.

    On the world called Hyperion the mysterious Time Tombs are opening and seven pilgrims risk their lives to petition the entity called the Shrike - a creature that may well control the fate of all mankind.The Hegemony of Man - a thousand thousand worlds linked by a network of farcaster portals and high-tech gateways - is under siege by Ousters, strange, half-human tribes mutated almost beyond recognition.The AIs - Artificial Intelligences whose synthetic wisdom created and maintains the nets that bind the Hegemony - have become a threat; it seems they have turned against the Hegemony and all mankind. And there is evidence that they have begun a project to create the Ultimate Intelligence - to build, in short, God. God of Machines: the ultimate deus ex machina. His genesis may well mean man's annihilation.Something is drawing the Hegemony, the AIs, the Ousters, and indeed the entire universe, towards the Shrike and the Time Tombs from which it has arisen. In a moment the paths of man, machine and god will intersect. Nothing will ever be the same.

    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.

    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.

    Modlitby ke zlomeným kamenům je doslova základním kamenem Simonsovy nadmíru úspěšné kariéry spisovatele. Kniha samotná dostala nejen cenu Brama Stokera za nejlepší sbírku krátkých povídek roku 1991, ale přinesla i mnoho námětů, které autor později rozpracoval do stejně úspěšných románů, jakým je například Doba mrchožroutů. Kniha přináší i první Simmonsovu publikovanou povídku Řeka Styx teče proti proudu, která získala okamžitě cenu za nejlepší povídku roku. V několika povídkách se zde poprvé objevuje postava Štíra známá z románů Hyperion a Pád Hyperionu, jakož i jiné postavičky z románů dalších.... celý text
