Description: "SFWA Grand Master Pohl's latest is a pure delight, miraculously combining wry adventure and compassionate satire. Pohl believes we can learn to live with extraordinary challenges; his tempered, hard-won faith in humanity makes this book especially satisfying." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Boy Who Would Live Forever "An astonishing eyeful, rich and absorbing . . . a feast for Gateway travelers." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on The Boy Who Would Live Forever " Gateway is one of those rare gems: a deeply human story set against the wonders and beauty of the infinite starry universe. Fred Pohl, Old Master that he is, has broken new ground for the science-fiction novel." -- Ben Bova, Editor, Analog Magazine "Frederik Pohl, one of the old pros of the genre never takes unnecessary risks. For him, science fiction is a form of play--an excusable indulgence since he plays it better than most people. His new novel is based on a wonderfully satisfying SF premise . . . The Heechee space station--known as Gateway--is the ultimate roulette wheel. The odds are lousy, but the jackpot is so large that there are always gamblers willing to try their luck." -- The New York Times Book Review on Gateway "The plot combines mystery and adventure with an excellent profile of a very lucky anti-hero. An outstanding work which is highly recommended." -- Library Journal on Gateway "This is a great tale loaded with adventure, mystery, futuristic technology and emotion--a Grand Master at his finest." -- Charleston, SC Post and Courier on The Far Shore of Time SF premise . . .
