<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>The bestselling sequel to the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning hard SF masterpiece <i>Gateway</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Frederik Pohl was on a streak when this Hugo Award-finalist novel was published in 1980. Now back in print after an absence of nearly a decade, this unique science fiction novel is as fresh and entertaining as ever. <p/>The story begins when the hero of <i>Gateway</i> finances an expedition to a distant alien spaceship that may end famine forever. On the ship, the explorers find a human boy, and evidence that reveals a powerful alien civilization is thriving on a transport ship headed right for Earth....</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"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." --<i>Analog</i> <p/>"The kind of mind-opening conceptualization that makes the universe seem very vast and beautiful indeed.
