About the Author

Frederik Pohl was born in New York City on November 26, 1919. More interested in writing than in school, he dropped out of high school in his senior year and took a job with a publishing company. After serving as a public relations officer in the United States Army from 1943 to 1945, he returned to show more publishing as copywriter for Popular Science, a literary agent for several sci-fi writers, and the editor for the magazines Galaxy and If from 1959 until 1969, with If winning three successive Hugo awards. His first published work, a poem entitled Elegy to a Dead Satellite: Luna, was printed in Amazing Stories magazine in 1937 under the pen name Elton Andrews. His first science fiction novels were published in the mid 1960's, some written in collaboration with other writers, others created alone. During his lifetime, he won over 16 major awards for his writing (much of which was published pseudonymously) including six Hugo Awards and three Nebula Awards. His works include Gateway, which won the Campbell Memorial, Hugo, Locus SF, and Nebula Awards, Beyond the Blue Event Horizon, and Jem, which won the National Book Award in 1979. He also embraced blogging in his later years, using his online journal as an ongoing sequel to his autobiography, The Way the Future Was. He died on September 2, 2013 at the age 93.

I really like Pohl and admire some of his work. I had head so many good things about this book I had to have it. Now that I've read it I am less enthusiastic. It is a OK SF book and I'm sure it was well ahead of it's time in the 1950s. His "Gateway" books are better.

This is the sequel to the Hugo winning book Gateway, which greatly expands on the universe of the series. We get to encounter more mysteries and more of the people tangled up in the hunt for the Hechee. We also get a glimpse at the ancient aliens who are at the center of it all. This is an important read for fans of Gateway and Frederik Pohl.
