In recent years, I actually reviewed the two books that make up this omnibus and can still be found on the website. This book contains 'Hyperion' and 'The Fall Of Hyperion' which is basically a re-working of 'Pilgrim's Progress'. A selection of characters are on a journey where to pass the time each night, explain why they are on their journey across this alien terrain to seek answers at a temple. The focus of the sequel is on what happens when they get to their destination.
If you missed this pair of books the first time around, then this is a great way to get both together at a reasonable price under one cover. With the pair of 'Endmion' books being released in a similar omnibus edition later next year, this will make a neat matching pair on your bookshelves but don't forget to read them. Great stuff.
