"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-fictionnovel." --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." --"The New York Times Book Review" on "Gateway", "Pohl's first Gateway novel in 15 years Ýbrings¨ both accessibility and gentle humor to hard sf adventure." -- Library Journal, SFWA Grand Master Pohl's latest is a pure delight, miraculously combining wry adventure and compassionate satire., Pohl's first Gateway novel in 15 years [brings] both accessibility and gentle humor to hard sf adventure., Â"A feast for Gateway travelers.Â" --Kirkus Reviews(starred review) onThe Boy Who Would Live Forever Â"SFWA Grand Master Pohl's latest is a pure delight, miraculously combining wry adventure and compassionate satire.

Synopsis
A Triumphant New Gateway Adventure Twenty-five years after the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning bestseller "Gateway," Frederik Pohl returns with a new "Gateway "novel. Filled with excitement and the sense of wonder that made "Gateway "a huge success, " The Boy Who Would Live Forever" is a memorable journey into the unknown. Stan and Estrella, two young people from Earth, journey to the Gateway asteroid looking for adventure, and discover each other during a flight in one of the ships the alien Heechee left behind when they explored our Solar System. Stan and Estrella settle among the Heechee on a planet in the galactic core, never suspecting that the two of them may be the last, best hope to save the humans and Heechee in the core from destruction by a crazed madman. Wan Enrique Santos-Smith, a man full of loathing for the Heechee, will stop at nothing to destroy the Heechee and their human friends. But Stan and Estrella, with the help of a fabulously wealthy philanthropist and the unique machine mind Marc Antony, are determined to thwart Wan's terrible plan. At stake is nothing less than the fate of all life in the galaxy., In this long-awaited new entry in Pohl's Gateway series, the Heechee live in peace along with humans, who fled Earth in the aftermath of a natural catastrophe. Now that peace is threatened by the alien Kugel and one human's insane hatred of the Heechee.
