This review is from: Heechee Rendezvous (Mass Market Paperback)

The purpose of the last half of the Gateway series, it seems, is to explain all of the mysteries acumulated over the space of the first two books. There are a mountain of them, but sometimes such mysteries are much more facinating as such: mysteries.

If you are not interested in what becomes of the universe at large, but rather the band of travelers we have all come to know through Gateway and Beyond the Blue Event Horizon, the last two books may not be what you are after. For those who want final answers to the questions of who the Heechee are, and where they went, this book will provide those answers. Unfortunately, stopping here may not be an option. New questions which simply cannot be hung out to dry as "unsolvable mysteries" arise, compelling one to read the final book, The Annals of the Heechee.

Less time is spent on character development and psychology in this work than the previous two books, which was a bit of a dissapointment. Still, for those who want the answers and want to see the final destination of the Gateway series, this is a gate that must be passed through.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Disappointing after "Gateway" and "Beyond...", Avril 6 2000

This review is from: Heechee Rendezvous (Mass Market Paperback)

I returned to read the gateway trilogy after a 15-year absense (!) and I found this one to be the most disappointing. Gone is the sense of mystery and struggle, in this third book Robinette seems like an annoying Richie Rich character surrounded by exotic Heechee toys and and annoying friends and helpers dredged up the first two books in the series plus a few new ones. Klara even makes a comeback, but it's disjointed, unbelievable and emotionless. Pointless, even; I'd say Robinettes longing and guilt for Klara is best left unresolved. I recommend Gateway (the best) and Beyond the Blue Event Horizon (quite interesting, especially when you figure out what the artifact is and its history), but then stop it there because this book is pretty much a loser.

At 17 years old, I haven't read a whole lot of books. Although I read quite a lot, I don't quite have all the experience that these other critics do. But I do know one thing. When I first got a book by Fred Pohl, I couldn't put it down. Now I'm 3 books into this saga, and I can't find the last part. Either way, Fred Pohl has made an awesome story. Too bad nobody knows who this guy is around here, he's my favorite author.
