“A masterpiece by one of SF’s greatest talents and a certain candidate for top SF awards.” —Booklist on Gateway

“Gateway is one of those rare gems: a deeply human story set against the wonders and beauty of the infinite starry universe. Fred Pohl, Old Master that he is, has broken new ground for the science-fiction novel.” —Ben Bova, Editor, Analog Magazine, on Gateway

“Frederik Pohl, one of the old pros of the genre never takes unnecessary risks. For him, science fiction is a form of play–an excusable indulgence since he plays it better than most people. His new novel is based on a wonderfully satisfying SF premise . . . The Heechee space station–known as Gateway–is the ultimate roulette wheel. The odds are lousy, but the jackpot is so large that there are always gamblers willing to try their luck.” —The New York Times Book Review on Gateway

“The plot combines mystery and adventure with an excellent profile of a very lucky anti-hero. An outstanding work which is highly recommended.” —Library Journal on Gateway
