This month, in celebration of one year of the book club, we went back to some of our most popular runner-ups to pick from. You guys ended up selecting Hyperion by Dan Simmons.
Here’s the summary:
On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all. On the eve of Armageddon, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set forth on a final voyage to Hyperion seeking the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. Each carries a desperate hope—and a terrible secret. And one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands.
The live-streamed discussion of Hyperion will occur on Friday, September 28th at 9:30 PM Central Time over on our YouTube page. Get the book and get reading! If you’re going to purchase a physical copy through Amazon, we would appreciate it if you do so through our Amazon Affiliate link. The book will cost exactly the same to you, but it will help support Doof! Media.
We’re always open for more Book Club suggestions as well, so if you have a book you’d like us to cover, head on over to our handy Google Form and tell us what you want us to read. Fill it out once, twice or however often you want.
