Acerca de esta escucha

After millennia had passed, Mankind discovered the Heechee legacy (an alien culture that fled to the relative safety of a black hole) - in particular an asteroid stocked with autonavigating spacecraft. Robinette Broadhead, who had led the expedition that unlocked the many secrets of Heechee technology, is now forced once more to make a perilous voyage into space - where the Heechee are waiting. And this time the future of Man is at stake....

Enjoyable performance of 3rd installment in Frederick Pohl's timeless Heechee saga. Old school science fiction, no wizards / zombies.

Essential listening

lacked the mysterious aspects which I enjoyed so much in the first two in the series. plot timeline felt off and didnt build much tension for me personally.

all fizzle, no bang

I wish I could praise this work. I really do, but I can't do it, not honestly anyway. This sequel is filled with relentless story padding and annoying foreshadowing that tip off the reader early on that there's a multivolume sequel in the offing. The problem is by the time you wade through it, you're very unlikely to give much of a damn about the Heechee or any of the other of the story characters. Consequently, I'm done with it.

Third in the series by the same narrator. Very enjoyable and the different voices really makes the story come alive

Great production

Usually I lose interest after the author spent most of their energy on the initial world building in the first book but the series continues to intrigue me.

Still good

Frederik Pohl’s Heechee Rendezvous is his third installment in his Gateway series. Charaters from the first two books are still around. Broadhead is dragged back when an old acquaintance arrives with a bizarre tale of a message from the Heechee. At the same time, the individual who grew up on Gateway is in the hunt but being his narcissistic self. Robin’s old girlfriend stuck in the black hole makes a comeback and together they learn the reason for the Heechee disappearance.

Pohl has fun with this story, including an AI deepfake to pull off a prison break. He was particularly insightful in terms of AI adopting specific personas as well as digital uplift. There’s also some background on the Heechee and the basis for their more recent disappearance that sets up the next installment.

The narration is quite good with excellent character distinction, although with a host of accents. Pacing is smooth.

Finally, meeting the Heechee

The world of the Heechee Saga continues to progress at a brisk pace always growing, and in this Heechee Rondezvous things that I'd wondered about for the first two books begin to be answered. It seems like these aren't popular or common books, but they are fun and Heechee Rondezvous does not disappoint.

The Payoffs Begin

I have a feeling this was originally supposed to be much longer until an editorial mandate came down that it couldn't be more then a certain amount of pages. it has a very slow first 2/3rds wasting time with frankly irrelevant characters that i can see why they might have been there but it was never followed up on. then everything that was building up literally happens in the last 30 minutes of the audiobook and is told in a very abridged way. so much wasted time delivering a very weak payoff. haven't yet gotten the opportunity for the last book but I am assuming that this is by far the weakest link in the saga.

slow burn with rushed end

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two in this series (The Heechee Saga), but this title seemed a little forced. The book dragged on a little then the end seemed to be a bit of, jump the shark, and over to quickly.

But having said this I will continue with the fourth book in this series. I do love Frederik Pohl's works.

Not as good as the first two

great read
