La aventura épica de Hyperion alcanza su clímax cuando los peregrinos se reúnen ante las Tumbas del Tiempo y éstas se abren para liberar el Alcaudón. Los humanos de la Hegemonía y de los enjambres éxter, las Inteligencias Artificiales del TecnoNúcleo, los peregrinos del Alcaudón, el cíbrido que reproduce la personalidad de John Keats, se verán envueltos en la compleja trama del tiempo, del poder, la guerra, la inteligencia, la religión y el amor. Con gran maestría, Simmons logra en La caída de Hyperion una brillante conclusión al articular hábilmente todas las piezas temáticas presentadas. Evidente homenaje a John Keats, la saga de Hyperion es, a juicio de todos los críticos, uno de los títulos fundamentales de la ciencia ficción moderna.

Certainly Simmons very clearly believes an advanced human civilisation is varied across the scale, and will only get more and more varied as time goes on (this is explicitly represented in very positive terms).

The book remains an impressive combination of character drama and epic scale science fiction war. Space opera in the fantastical sense, and very explicitly and deliberately romantic (in the literary rather than relationship sense). Things certain go a bit wild, and possibly a little too magical if your tastes run to the harder stuff in speculative …
