This book has a number of archetypal forms. It starts out as a quest with a collection of characters visiting the fabled time tombsof the planet Hyperion. The dramatic appearances of The Shrike, an unstoppable death-machine force you to question every event from the very beginning. The erratic nature of the creature and its obtuse motivation lace the story with terror form the very begining. As the first of the Hyperion books it immediately hooks the reader - I couldn't put it or The Fall of Hyperion down! Its a refreshing book in the sci-fi genre as they storyline is truly engaging. As the tale develops it becomes apparent how interlinked the questors are and the events that happen to them. Its like some huge, off-world Agatha Christie mystery wrapped in a ever-darkening blanket of fear.
