Zak takes us to the planet of Hyperion! Where 7 strangers embark on the trial of the shrike, an unknown nearly omnipresent being who stalks the surface of Hyperion. Their goal? To survive the trials and be the only one to get their wish "granted" by the shrike.

Written by Dan Simmons, listen to these strangers tales, and how each one is its own theme inside a sci fi story!
