You can now download Dan Simmons' Hugo award-winning classic, Hyperion, for only 4.99$ here.
Here's the blurb:
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.
You can also get your hands on another science fiction classic, William Gibson's Neuromancer, for only 4.59$ here.
Here's the blurb:
The Matrix is a world within the world, a global consensus-hallucination, the representation of every byte of data in cyberspace . . .
Case had been the sharpest data-thief in the business, until vengeful former employees crippled his nervous system. But now a new and very mysterious employer recruits him for a last-chance run. The target: an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence orbiting Earth in service of the sinister Tessier-Ashpool business clan. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case embarks on an adventure that ups the ante on an entire genre of fiction.
Hotwired to the leading edges of art and technology, Neuromancer ranks with 1984 and Brave New World as one of the century’s most potent visions of the future.

The Hyperion Cantos is amazing.
Some don't like the third and fourth books but I thought they were outstanding.
Out of all the Science Fiction series that I've read, and re-read, that series is in my top five.
Add Fantasy series to the list and it may still be top five if not top ten for me.
