Dan is a loner...but not necessarily by choice. As a senior new to a high school after bouncing around from place to place to hide his bizarre past, Dan becomes close friends (maybe a little too close?) with Mazie. For the first time, Dan struggles with keeping his secret, but just can’t seem to find a way to tell her that he is really older than he appears to be. Why? It’s all because of a top-secret government experiment gone wrong! Dan has been studied, poked, and prodded by doctors and psychologists throughout his life but he’s on the verge of becoming “normal” for the first time. Dan is multi-talented and wise beyond his years, having been around longer than most seniors. Mazie is artistic, athletic, and biracial. The third member of the unique trio of friends is Bodie, who mostly stays in a small house that he designed and built himself. Mazie is just starting to learn about Dan’s complicated history and uncovers even more when she stumbles on Dan’s journal. A government guardian (Gigi) and a twin sister (Dani) both play major roles throughout Dan’s story. In other words, Dan is just a normal guy - Yeah, Right!

What if I were to tell you that every day of your life you have lived a lie? If your every memory, experience, and interaction with the world around you was tainted by the fallacy, would you strive to learn the truth? Do you possess the inner fortitude to break the shackles that have imprisoned your mind? We can give you that power. We can show you the truth. Each day, we bask in the glory that was intended for all humanity. From Hyperion, the last free city, we endeavor to preserve the way of life of our common ancestors so that one day, those of you who have been lost might reawaken. Defying Gravity is the first installment in the journey of a young man from among you who chose to learn of the truth. The account details the triumphs and defeats necessary to cast off the bonds that had held him for sixteen years of life on Earth. Though some were resistant and all were uncertain, none could have predicted how his coming would forever change the course of humanity's collective destiny. We invite you to share in his journey. If you lack the courage to challenge the assumptions of your reality, perhaps walking the footsteps of one who has come before you will inspire. As you will invariably come to learn in The Hyperion Chronicles, even the slightest shift in your perspective is a monumental victory for our cause.

Having taken the first step toward the Truth with us, how far are you now willing to go? You have tasted the latent potential that exists in your core. To have only scratched the surface of that potential simply cannot be the end of our journey together. Hyperion's struggle endures. We stewards of the last free city know too well that we cannot hope to win a battle of attrition. Something must be done to alter our fate before we are utterly consumed by it. If we fall, humanity will require men and women like you to bear our standards onward. Force of Gravity is the second installment in the saga of Benjamin Meaks. We have seen the fires of hope and belief kindled within him. Now, we must see the steel of his resolve tempered by far greater trials than any youthful spirit ought to suffer. To continue his tale, you must also be prepared to confront the inconvenient truths of your present existence. If you have come this far with us, we are already victorious. It may not be possible to divine which seed will flourish and rise to the mightiest height, but it would be foolish not to recognize that more seeds are superior to few. Hyperion will never turn away an inquisitive mind. We can ill afford to be so wasteful.
