    I only got through the original Hyperion, it had great ideas but boring as hell execution. Anyways I always wanted to know, is the Shrike traveling in time backwards? Isn’t it’s destiny in the past?

      Kind of? I think it mostly lives outside of time iirc, but it’s been some…time, since I digested it all. It definitely originated in the future though, you find out in the Endymion books.

      It has one mission: to make the human target that is the greatest foe of the machines to show up and kill him/her. And the way is hurting humans in that particular way.
