In Gateway, the novel that launched the Heechee series, Pohl introduces us to the two hollowed-out asteroids where the starships are based and to the adventurous men and women who risk their lives to survey the outermost reaches of the galaxy and beyond.
Set in our future, the stories explore how humans gradually reach out into the universe using Heechee technology-often dying in the process. They left behind in the solar system a scattering of artifacts and thousands of tiny starships capable of faster-than-light travel. The Heechee are a long-vanished alien race that spread far and wide into the universe.
Over the quarter-century from 1977 to 2004, Frederik Pohl published the five novels and many short stories that comprise the Heechee Saga.
