Review
Praise for Beyond the Blue Event Horizon:
“Certainly very few books have ever held my attention in such an iron grip right up until the last paragraph, built so irresistibly to such a satisfying series of blockbuster punch lines, left me so breathless with admiration, achieved such truly cosmic scope.” —Analog
“The kind of mind-opening conceptualization that makes the universe seem very vast and beautiful indeed. In short, this is a book that fulfills SFs ability to entertain intelligently.” —The Chicago Sun-Times
“Peerless in his own generation, with few equals of any age. One of the fifty most influential people in the Chicago book world.” —News City (Chicago)
Praise for Gateway:
“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
“. . . an engrossing story, a different but worthy successor to Gateway.” —Publishers Weekly
“[Frederik Pohls] special combination of scientific imagination, humane concern, and sheer literary craftsmanship is something unique.” -Jack Williamson
