About the book
Escape was impossible… until she had nothing left to lose.
For Kerelle Evandra, her psionic powers mean three things: mandatory service to a multigalactic corporation, a life of luxury as a prized asset, and an electronic collar that will kill her if she disobeys. As a powerful telekinetic, she’s spent the last decade fighting wars for her corporate masters, trapped in a gilded cage alongside her lover, Galhen Ambrel. Defiance has always been unthinkable—until the corporation sells Galhen’s contract to a distant oligarch, shattering Kerelle’s illusion of safety.
Now, with nothing left to lose, Kerelle faces a choice: obey and remain a weapon, or risk everything for freedom. But rebellion comes with a price, and she must decide how far she’s willing to go.

About the book
A stunning tour de force filled with transcendent awe and wonder, Hyperion is a masterwork of science fiction that resonates with excitement and invention, the first volume in a remarkable epic by the multiple-award-winning author of The Hollow Man.
On the world called Hyperion, beyond the reach of galactic law, waits a creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all.
On the eve of Armageddon, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set forth on a final voyage to Hyperion seeking the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. Each carries a desperate hope—and a terrible secret. And one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands.

“Simmons’s own genius transforms space opera into a new kind of poetry.”—The Denver Post
