Beneath the gaze of the gods, the mighty armies of Greece and Troy met in fierce and glorious combat, scrupulously following the text set forth in Homer's timeless narrative. But that was before 21st-century scholar Thomas Hockenberry stirred the bloody brew, causing an enraged Achilles to join forces with his archenemy, Hector, and turn his murderous wrath on Zeus and the entire pantheon of divine manipulators; before the swift and terrible mechanical creatures that catered for centuries to the pitiful idle remnants of Earth's human race began massing in the millions, to exterminate rather than serve.

The men on board HMS Terror have every expectation of triumph. As part of the 1845 Franklin Expedition, the first steam-powered vessels ever to search for the legendary Northwest Passage, they are as scientifically supported an enterprise as has ever set forth. As they enter a second summer in...

En un lejano futuro, la guerra de Troya estalla a la sombra del monte Olimpo de Marte, bajo la atenta mirada de Zeus y los suyos. Empiezan las sucias batallas entre los dioses más vengativos. En la Tierra, los pocos humanos que quedan persiguen un pasado perdido y una verdad devastadora. Mientras tanto, cuatro máquinas sensibles parten del espacio jupiterino para investigar e intentar acabar con las emisiones potencialmente catastróficas que emanan de la cima de una alta montaña en la superficie habitada del planeta rojo.

Continúa la guerra de Troya protagonizada por inmortales posthumanos en lo más alto del monte Olimpo de Marte. La vengativa batalla de Aquiles y la alianza de los dioses griegos y troyanos con unos robots del espacio jupiterino—decididos a prevenir una catástrofe que destruiría el universo—han provocado una guerra civil entre dioses que podría mandar todo lo existente entre la Tierra y el cielo directo al infierno.

Cuando el papa Julio XIV muere y resucita, la Hegemonía se ha convertido ya en una teocracia regida por Pax, organización cívico militar de la Iglesia católica. Gracias al control del parásito cruciforme, la Iglesia ofrece inmortalidad y la nueva fe es universal. Pax solo teme la llegada de un mesías. Y ese mesías existe. Se trata de Aenea, hija del cíbrido John Keats, que se ha refugiado durante casi trescientos años en las Tumbas del Tiempo de Hyperion.

Han pasado doscientos setenta y cuatro años desde la caída de Hyperion, y la Hegemonía se ha transformado en una teocracia regida por Pax, la organización cívico militar de la Iglesia católica. Gracias al cruciforme, la inmortalidad es efectiva y la nueva fe, universal. Pax solo teme la llegada de un nuevo mesías. Un joven pastor condenado por asesinato, Endymion, deberá muy a su pesar proteger, con el androide Bettik, a ese nuevo mesías: Aenea, hija de Keats, que regresa de las Tumbas del Tiempo de Hyperion.

La aventura épica de Hyperion alcanza su clímax cuando los peregrinos se reúnen ante las Tumbas del Tiempo y estas se abren para liberar al Alcaudón. Todos, incluidos los humanos de la Hegemonía, los enjambres Éxter, las inteligencias artificiales del TecnoNúcleo, los peregrinos del Alcaudón y el cíbrido que reproduce la personalidad de John Keats, se verán irremisiblemente envueltos en la compleja trama del tiempo, el poder, la guerra, la inteligencia, la religión y el amor.
