| Why it’s on the list | Dan Simmons’s second Hyperion novel is the other half of the book Hyperion leaves unfinished — the pilgrims’ stories give way to an interstellar war, the machine intelligences of the TechnoCore step forward as actors, and the first volume’s questions get answered. |

About this edition
Functionally inseparable from volume one: read Hyperion (Simmons novel) first. It took the 1991 British Science Fiction and Locus awards.
