The book reminds me of Algis Budrys' Rogue Moon, but the relentless psycho analyses that go on in that book make it almost unbearable for me, Gateway makes the BDO and the alien tech more relevant to the protagonist's personal problems, and is simply better written. Well all of this was just a little bit awkward when I was expecting a story about finding alien technology and just wandered into this story.

In 1990, nine new short stories were published in the first three 1990 issues of Aboriginal Science Fiction. Odnosno sto bi rekao moj prijatelj Dusan:"O nekim stvarima se ne prica, a Orson Skot Kard to uporno cini". La idea de esta novela me parece magnífica y logra transmitir una sensación de desolación y confusión como pocas lo hacen.

However, there is the one or other good toilet humor pun, but besides that, I don´t get how these stereotypical parent and partner problem drivel does anything substantial for the plot and its message of promoting leftist socialist propaganda, socializing the suffering, and stuff. Life on the Gateway asteroid (actually a space station) is described in detail, together with some hard sf style discreet little infodumps. In Gateway this doesn't happen, which is especially odd and vexing considering that a full half of the book is devoted to Bob's lengthy sessions with a computerized psychiatrist. Hay muy buena ciencia ficción en esta novela de 1977, ganadora de los premios Hugo, Locus, Nebula y John W. But once Bob and his training group start going on the missions, the excitement and risk of adventure kicks in.

Earth to Pohl - a simple "I'm really really sorry and want to marry you" does not adequately deal with serious domestic violence! Also, the book itself states that the Heechee ship engine is a mystery because, whenever they try to disassemble it, it explodes with tremendous force. Gateway is one of those sci-fi classics that I am supposed to have absorbed if I want to consider myself well read in the genre.Gateway has a complex of tunnels digged by the Heechee, an alien civilization that vanished half a million years ago. And the book is told in an alternating structure, so we know that while he does (become really rich), it also happens in a pretty miserable fashion, and we have to sit in on his whiny sessions with his robot therapist. A lo largo del libro se intercalan estas consultas con los flashbacks sobre los acontecimientos que condujeron a Rob a su estado actual. Avec "Gateway" et "Beyond the Bue Event Horizon" j'ai retrouvé immédiatement ce plaisir d'un extrordinaire voyage virtuel dans le cosmos.

This is the first in a series, and I have heard the later books go a long way to explaining the mysterious alien objects, but I like them just fine all enigmatic and obtuse; over-explaining would make them just one more piece of technology, sans the risk associated with their use -- the drive to explore and discover new things that lights a fire under humanity. Pero el que escribe esta reseña le dirá que no, porque ahí aparece, una vez más, el factor económico que tanto lo mueve todo. Pa dobro ne bih rekao da se ne prica, mozda pre ne ocukujemo tako nesto u knjizi naucne fantastike, ali je upravo to jedan od razloga zasto je ovaj zanr toliko superioran barem kada se radi o polaznoj tacki za pisanje romana. In 2015 Variety announced that a Gateway TV series was going to be written and produced by David Eick and Josh Pate for Syfy, although it failed to enter production.And Rob is literally STRAPPED into place during his robo therapist sessions because of his tendency to attack the A. 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.
