Gateway (S.F. MASTERWORKS)

Product Information

This narrator guy spends most of the book hanging about on Gateway (the asteroid) trying to get up the nerve to volunteer to go on one of these possibly-suicide missions. The part that interested me was the idea of a space gold rush to discover the Heechee and the archaeology to recover interesting artefacts. The action switches in between Broadhead's past story of how he came to Gateway and struck it big and Broadhead's present therapy sessions.

Die Grundidee des Romans, mittels aufgefundenen Artefakten und lustigen Raumschifflein einer fremden Spezies namens Hitschi zu unbekannten Ufern aufzubrechen, wirkt seltsam unwirklich und ist teilweise physikalisch ungenau (Zeitdillatation/Relativitätstheorie) aber dennoch schillernd-spannend und phantasievoll beschrieben; eine Art "Russisch Roulette", ein Lotteriespiel unter Einsatz des eigenen Lebens.Allí habitaron los Heechee, unos extraterrestres de los que poco se sabe, pero que dejaron sus naves interestelares.

The Boy Who Would Live Forever (book) first edition publication contents at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database. Pero aunque no comparta algunas cosas, tampoco me escandalizo tan pronto, así que el resultado me ha satisfecho.Los Heechee son unos seres extraterrestres que dejaron una serie de naves en una estación con destinos previamente establecidos. stars has less to do with the quality of this book (which I still think is excellent) and more to do with the quality of other books I have read since my first reading of Gateway which have caused me to rasie the bar somewhat. Great adventure, wonderful light but deep worldbuilding, and an even better psychological exploration.

Pórtico cuenta con miles de naves espaciales alienígenas cuyo funcionamiento es un misterio para los científicos debido en gran parte a que el destino de las naves está pre-programado y es desconocido.

His narration and "aw shucks" persona was a good attempt at making Bob seem the tiniest bit NOT like an a-hole. One part space prospecting, one part therapy, neither of them with much traditional narrative beats, neither of them seeming to have so much to do with one another, both filled with seemingly irrelevant downtime and at-time meandering bits that seemed to have little point - but they join together at the very end and at that point it all, for the most part, makes sense.
