Vincent had been fascinated by the night sky in Arles. One day a canvas arrived that showed a shift in style. Jo recognised that his letters were part of the art.

The mysterious Time Tombs are opening and the Shrike that has risen from them may well control the fate of all mankind. The pilgrims have resolved to die before discovering anything less than the secrets of the universe itself. On the eve of disaster, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set fourth on a final voyage to the legendary Time Tombs on Hyperion, home to the Shrike, a lethal creature, part god and part killing machine, whose powers transcend the limits of time and space.
