"A feast for Gateway travelers."
--"Kirkus Reviews" (starred review) on "The Boy Who Would Live
Forever"
"SFWA Grand Master Pohl's latest is a pure delight, miraculously
combining wry adventure and compassionate satire. Pohl believes we
can learn to live with extraordinary challenges; his tempered,
hard-won faith in humanity makes this book especially
satisfying."
--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) on "The Boy Who Would Live
Forever"
""The Boy Who Would Live Forever" is vintage Pohl: endlessly
inventive, with cosmic threats, engaging characters, and tidal
waves, served up with the master's signature sense of humor"
--Jack McDevitt, author of "Omega"
"Fred Pohl ends his great classic, "Gateway," with tantalizing
riddles. Who were the Heechee, the beings who built the strange
starport inside an asteroid? Why did they abandon it? Where did
they go? Now at last he is giving us answers. Fred's still a master
craftsman. His tale unfolds his answers with new suspense and
surprise."
--Jack Williamson, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of
"Terraforming Earth," on "The Boy Who Would Live Forever"
"Pohl's first Gateway novel in 15 years (the 1977 original
"Gateway" won the Hugo and Nebula Awards) revitalizes a favorite
far-future setting as it tells the tale of a young man's journey to
self-realization amid the stars. Bringing both accessibility and
gentle humor to hard sf adventure."
"--Library Journal" on "The Boy Who Would Live Forever"

""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"
"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."
