I hope that I'm not alone in liking this one.
Yes, Mr M, there are rather a lot of spaceships in it, but it does have other things that make up for it.
Hyperion it an interesting rif on the Canterbury Tales, and is the story of a number of pilgrims undergoing a mysterious journey against the backdrop of a galaxy-spanning empire about to undergo some eleborate cataclysm. Maybe.
Anyway, each of the pilgrims tells they story of how they came to be there, each in a distinct and familier SF style. The stories are all connected however, and lead the pilgrims on to their destiny.
My poor words do not do it justice. It's good. Lots of people read it. It won some awards, but then what hasn't?
