When this title was released in VF in 1991, I base on the last page in the presentation, and it seems to me that there was mention of obtaining price Hugo and Locus, 2 huge references, just that!. Worse I got into this story that no one was in that era volume al (I wonder also why even of c 2 is now al pocket volumes, ca breaks the same rate) and J was happe by this planet which is a prey to a widespread panic, all the inhabitants want to evacuate because a gigantic space and ground confrontation must be places. Each side then tell you its story that is reliee the world of Hyperion, in stories of spirituality, of love, of extreme violence, and we will discuss the Shrike, that invincible creature who will cross our heroes. Hyperion is a monument of the SF, the same rank as the foundation cycle, dune, Dawn trilogy Night Peter F. Hamilton. Of course, it will read the explosion, the apotheosis of this story by reading "the fall of Hyperion ', and if you still want more, there is" Endymion "and the awakening of endymion." I just reread these 4 books always with great pleasure almost 20 years of lag, and I really enjoyed myself!
