The god in Hyperion is named after that bird. Great scifi classic.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_(Simmons_novel)
Endymion / Rise of Endymion was a great sequel too
Highly underrated.
And I get why: it's just totally and completely different but it was still enjoyable on merit.
I thought it was even better than the first series. There's so many neat and unique concepts going on in that book. From the ultra-fast ship that decimates its passengers and then rebuilds them, to the concepts related to the philosophy of Pierre Tielhard DeChardin, it's a wonderfully thought provoking series all around. The AI and their machinations in that series is the best AI storyline I've ever read.
One of the serial killers in Hannibal as well.
Among the best sci-fi I ever read, incredible.
Also the name of the guy who ran the gang that Han Solo was in as a kid.
