Wealth, or death. These were the choices Gateway offered. Humans had stumbled upon this artificial spaceport, brimming with functioning interstellar ships left behind by the enigmatic, vanished Heechee. Their destinations were preprogrammed. They were user-friendly, yet utterly uncontrollable. Some returned with invaluable discoveries, propelling their adventurous pilots to immense riches. Others returned with their remains barely recognizable, a testament to the treacherous nature of their venture. It was a game of Russian roulette, played in a future plagued by resource scarcity. Yet, there was no shortage of desperate volunteers, willing to risk all for the chance at fortune.
Winner of the prestigious Hugo, Locus, Nebula, and John W. Campbell awards, Gateway marks the beginning of Pohl's space operatic Heechee saga. He wielded immense influence in the realm of science fiction as both an author and an agent and editor, spanning an illustrious career that spanned decades. Regarded as a masterpiece of the genre, Gateway truly deserves its esteemed reputation as a classic.
One of the finest Hugo winners I have had the pleasure of reading, Gateway stands as a testament to Pohl's exceptional talent. It is a must-read for fans of science fiction and a shining example of the genre's enduring legacy.
