Re-read Gateway (still excellent, in spite of some minor flaws that take it from 5/5 to 4.5/5) and posted a review.

... = 10 pieces of writing about space travel 1. Year's best SF8 - sf collection 2. the forever war - Joe Haldeman 3. gateway - frederick pohl 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

... novels of Dan Simmons (his most recent stuff unreadable, alas). Liked the Altered Carbon books. I liked Gateway but never got around to reading the series. Hope it's not too gauche to say I like my own books ("Mind over Matter" series) as well.

... books (which is the Primary plot Arc). You will either love them or hate them. I'm reading Frederik Pohls Heechee Saga, 'Gateway','Beyond the Blue Event Horizon','Heechee Rendezvous','Annals of the Heechee' I'm just about to start Annals, the other previous three were very enjoyable. ...

Back to good old SF. A real classic this time: Gateway by Frederik Pohl. The novel is part of the SF Masterworks series, edited by Gollancz / Orion publishers. Pohl came up with this wonderful idea of a lost alien civilization that left behind docking stations with starships. These ...

... with Rama and being supremely unimpressed. don't think I got beyond the first of the sequels, in fact. The sequels to Gateway were, IIRC, also of declining quality.

Got lucky and found: *Gateway *The Forever War *The Sirens of Titan *The Stars My Destination at Blackwell's. According to them the publishers still have copies left but aren't reprinting this edition instead (they focus on their Masterworks series instead). More importantly however ...

#11 Space Merchants would be great. Another Pohl book that I would like to see on the big screen would be Gateway. Get rid of the boring psychaiatry sessions, just have the Gateway story; that should end as a two-hour story.

Gateway by Frederik Pohl has various tidbits (interviews, mission reports, classified ads, some computer code, etc.) interspersed throughout the text.

... The Scar, much more accessible. Having just reread Stranger in a Strange Land (horrible, horrible, babel) and Gateway (whiny, whiny, stupid), I really liked Neuromancer. Though if you want an updated computer networks/VR/evil rich novel try Daemon by Leinad Zeraus, not great ...

... for the past couple of books, sorry about that!): Beyond the blue event horizon was the excellent sequel to Gateway. I LOVED it and have started collecting everything by Pohl. My kind of sci-fi! A Pale view of Hills was a good read. Definitely not one of Ishiguro's best ...

... Pamela, which might take a while. Also picked up Beyond the blue event horizon to read yesterday, since I loved Gateway and this is the sequel.

... Jennifer Government yesterday, which was a light, fun read and started Beyond the blue event horizon because I read Gateway and loved it and this is the second part in the trilogy.

... I was much younger, but it's not something I think I would pick up again now. Same for the Narnia books and Fred Pohl's Gateway series. Ones I've re-read recently that seemed to be holding up quite well: Madeleine L'Engle's Time Trilogy, especially the fourth book, Many Waters ...

... An excellent idea - the last human alive in the world, and the life he lives, when everyone else has become vampires. 4. Gateway - reread four times. It's a simple premise - take a ride on a ship to an unknown destination, risking your life for huge rewards, and it's done extremely well, with ...

Stephen King - The Stand Joe Haldeman - Forever War and Mindbridge Frederik Pohl - Gateway Frank Herbert - Dune

... me of your description of Life as we knew it. And two sci-fi books that I feel are underappreciated that you might enjoy: Gateway and Roadside Picknick.

Finished Gateway by Frederik Pohl. Brilliant idea - playing Russian roulette to find alien artefacts, and it's done well. Enjoyed the writing style - the dual timeline idea is done well, and the items included as appendages, from wanted ads to corporate policies, paints a picture of that ...

... Electric Sheep? Philip K. Dick 2001: A Space Odyssey Sir Arthur C. Clarke The Forever War, Joe Haldeman Gateway, Frederik Pohl I think that there is plenty enough variety in those suggestions for someone to find something they like. What are everyone else's thoughts?

... these. Busifer, I agree on Last Light, in fact I'd say it's his least wonderful, except for those who hate Fionavar. Gateway was lots of fun, but that was a really long time ago, and it spawned a series of sequels that sorta drifted away from coherence, kinda like Dune. I'm one of ...

... . The Forever War is one of my favourite of the books I've read in the series so far, along with Cities in Flight and Gateway. I didn't find that The Stars My Destination grabbed me as much as the others, but it was certainly a good book. I've just started reading Lord of Light. Oh, ...

... the pointer, andyl. It's an interesting list. I hadn't thought of Fred Pohl for a long time. I remember enjoying the Gateway/Heechee books about 30 years ago. Anyone else remember those?
