Wealth ... or death. Those were the choices Gateway offered. Humans had

discovered this artificial spaceport, full of working interstellar ships

left behind by the mysterious, vanished Heechee.

Their

destinations are preprogrammed. They are easy to operate, but impossible

to control. Some came back with discoveries which made their intrepid

pilots rich; others returned with their remains barely identifiable. It

was the ultimate game of Russian roulette, but in this resource-starved

future there was no shortage of desperate volunteers.

Winner of the Hugo, Locus, Nebula and John W. Campbell awards, Gateway

begins Pohl's space operatic Heechee saga. He was hugely influential in

SF as an author but also an agent and editor, and his career spanned

decades.

'A masterpiece of the genre' - Tordotcom
