TomeAlone reviewed Gateway by Frederik Pohl (Heechee, #1)
None
4 stars
It’s pretty cool. It’s got that vintage feel in that the central conflict is mostly psychological rather than technological. Felt very Asimov that way. It’s even got that late sixties/seventies libertine easy sexuality in it. Some neat world building and commentary on where our culture is heading(pretty much already there.) It feels like it would be a good companion piece to The Forever War.
