Dare to step through the Gateway—an abandoned alien space station teeming with the mysterious, faster-than-light ships of the long-vanished Heechee. For prospectors like Robinette 'Rob' Broadhead, Gateway offers a perilous lottery: choose a ship, punch a button, and voyage into the unknown, hoping for discoveries that promise unimaginable wealth, but risking madness or death with equal measure. In this Hugo and Nebula award-winning masterpiece, Frederik Pohl masterfully interweaves Rob's desperate, terrifying journeys into uncharted space with his later struggles in psychotherapy, haunted by the choices he made and the loved ones he lost. Gateway is a gripping exploration of humanity's drive for discovery, the burden of survival, and the psychological price of confronting the vast, indifferent universe.
