About this listen
When prospector Bob Broadhead went out to Gateway on the Heechee spacecraft, he decided he would know which was the right mission to make him his fortune. Three missions later, now famous and permanently rich, Robinette Broadhead has to face what happened to him and what he is...in a journey into himself as perilous and even more horrifying than the nightmare trip through the interstellar void that he drove himself to take!
BONUS AUDIO: In an exclusive introduction, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer explains why Gateway is one of science fiction's all-time greatest novels.

Loved it
What an exceptionally well written and narrated story. Just sit back and enjoy… don’t place it or try your apologise for the writing… just enjoy the concepts and the story.

A great novel in the vein of PKD
There's a very clear relationship between the themes and style of this book and Phillip K Dick. This book also attends to the science without belabouring the concepts. Most of all, the character is a typical PKD antihero

Read it as a Book; Just as I remember it
Great performance and wow, great story. I’m glad it’s as good as I remember reading it as a teenager.

They said it was a classic. I agree.
Great book. Reminded me a little of Phillip K Dick. Great story, with a backdrop of exploration, alien tech and flawed human beings dealing with it all. Straight on to book two.

Strong on sexuality
If you don’t appreciate 1970’s analysis of male female sexuality and homosexuality, give this a miss…
