Does anybody know if there was any sequel to "Gateway" ? If so, please mail the title to me. Did anybody else like that book as much as I did ? I thought he set up a really interesting civilization. On par with Asimov's civilization in "The God's Themselves". -- ==> Ephrayim J. Naiman @ AT&T Information Systems Laboratories (201) 576-6259 Paths: [ihnp4, allegra, hogpc, ...]!pegasus!naiman

Yes, there is a sequal to "Gateway" by Fredrick Pohl. It is entitled "Beyond the Blue Event Horizon." And yes, enough people liked "Gateway" for it to win the Hugo award for best SF novel that year. Unfortunately, BtBEH is not nearly so good. There is suposed to be a third (and final?) book in the series (I forget if I heard the title) and I got the impression that it should be out soon (i.e., soon when I heard about it - so I would have expected it to be out now), but I have heard no more since then.

Try "Beyond the Blue Event Horizon". Excellent sequel to "Gateway". There may
be a third in this series.

Would you believe two sequels. First off, there's "Beyond the Blue Event Horizon", and secondly, there's "Heechee Rendezvous". James

Well, here's my chance to be the first [by my viewpoint; probably 10th by yours. Don't you love net relativity :-)] to answer your question. Not only is there a sequel to "Gateway", there is not a sequel to that. "Beyond the Blue Event Horizon" it the sequel to "Gateway". I thought that it was superb, perhaps even as good as "Gateway". The third book in the sequence was "Heechee Rendezvous". "Beyond the Blue Event Horizon" has been out for long enough that it should be available in paperback by now. "Heechee Rendezvous" came out relatively and may not be in paperback yet. > Did anybody else like that book as much as I did ? > I thought he set up a really interesting civilization. > On par with Asimov's civilization in "The God's Themselves". Which civilization are you refering to? I didn't find the human civilization to be all that interesting. The Heechee are tantalizing . . . but you know nothing about them.
