Just gotten to reading a new series right now, and now I have just finished with the first book of it. It is another famous science series, Dan Simmon's Hyperion series.
It is set on the titular world of Hyperion, a world that is beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, and on that world there waits a being known as the Shrike. Some worship it. Some fear it. And some have made a vow to destroy it. And it waits for all of them in the valley of the time tombs.
Just on the eve of an inevitable Armageddon, and entire galaxy now at war, seven pilgrims have gone on one last voyage to Hyperion in search of answers to their lives riddles. They each carry desperate hopes, and terrible secrets. And there is one who might hold the fate of humanity in his hands.
Ok, so the first book follows these pilgrims as they make their journey to the planet. One by one they each tell each other their stories. Slowly and surely I'm starting to get immersed into the world and the characters themselves. And also the mystery also begins to unravel in pretty much the same way.
Really getting a liking for this series. A mix of the old and the new, rolled into one. Read only this first book so far now, but I do got the second book waiting in the wings right now and I'm pretty stoked to continue the story!

The next two books are very different from the first but I don’t think that is a bad thing. I enjoyed them all and feel like I am ready to re read them. You might enjoy The Long Earth series after you finish that.
