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 'Gateway deserves its reputation as a classic' -
Gareth L. Powell 'One of the best Hugo winners I have read' -
Guardian Welcome to The Best Of The Masterworks: a selection of the
finest in science fiction
