	Heechee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some 100,000 years earlier, the Heechee were active in discovering the galaxy, including an Australopithecine-inhabited Earth (where a sampling of the creatures were extracted and left to propogate to modern time on a Heechee station).
		The inherently cautious Heechee retreated to the interior of the fl hole in the galactic core hoping to avoid being destroyed.
		When a Heechee crew exited the core, they are shocked to discover that humans were flying their spaceships to all parts of the galaxy -- and one of those places happens to be the Kugelblitz, (a fl hole made of energy and not matter) where The Foe was concentrated.

		And he learned where the Heechee had fled (into a livable fl hole at the galaxy's core) and why (to escape another race known as the Assassins).
		The Annals of the Heechee (1987) portrayed the beginnings of a joint human-Heechee community, and the discovery of the lurking Assassins, hiding in their own version of a fl hole known as a "kugelblitz." Eventually, even the "Kugels" became integrated into the stellar community.
		But matters of life and death for the Heechees and humanity ensure that the ultra-competent and wise Marc is perpetually called away from his stove.

	Mkupony for all - Heechee Rendezvous (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Heechee Rendezvous is a gripping continuation of Pohl's Heechee Saga.
		Each book in the Heechee Saga is a direction continuation of its predecessor, so reading book 4 is a must after this one is finished.
		The purpose of the last half of the Gateway series, it seems, is to explain all of the mysteries acumulated over the space of the first two books.

		Because then she said that the 'missing mass' might in fact prove that the Heechee had really begun to interfere with the orderly development of the universe-she said they were removing mass from the outer galaxies to make them fall back more rapidly.
		Heechee science was not the same as human, but it rested on the same thermodynamics, the same laws of motion, the same stretch of the mind into tininess and immensity, the nuclear particle and the universe itself.
		All Heechee meetings were short, when they were not social and prolonged purely for the pleasure they gave; machine-mediated discussions eliminated so much waste that the fate of a world could be settled in minutes.

		As humans spread through space–allying themselves with the alien Heechee and realizing that they now have the option of having their personalities preserved forever electronically in the company of dazzlingly accomplished AIs–they must decide what to keep and what to give up.
		Their single option is to join a mission to the fl hole at the galaxy's Core, where the Heechee themselves are hiding in dread of the Foe, the life-destroying Kugel.
		A Heechee named Achiever leaves the Core to discover what the Kugel are up to inside their Kugelblitz.

		This is the third installment in Pohl's Heechee saga, and even though the cover proclaims it as the "gripping finale", there is another book in the series, which makes me very happy because I was not ready for it to end (a sure sign of a great book).
		He is even more sucessful, and Heechee technology has advanced the human race beyond anything anyone could have imagined.
		Gone are the random trips from Gateway where the prospector has no way of knowing the final destination of their ship, nor whether or not there will be enough power and provisions for the journey.

	Heechee Rendezvous Review
		Their Eddas told the Heechee a million years ago that a race of Assassins exists and has previously destroyed two technologically advanced civilizations.
		As this is going on, in another part of the galaxy, Klara and Wan are captured by real live Heechee who have come out of hiding to try and warn the human race to be quiet, lest the Assassins hear them and come out.
		The title suggests that the story would be about the Heechee and that is something to look forward to.

	The Gateway Trip : Tales and Vignettes of the Heechee
		The Heechee were perhaps the greatest and most tantalizing mystery the human race had ever known.
		The first Heechee artifacts were uncovered on Venus, and in the beginning they were treated as nothing more than costly souvenirs and curiosities for tourists from Earth and Mars.
		But when an asteroid stocked with autonavigating spacecraft was discovered, suddenly the Heechee universe was thrown wide open, giving birth to the Gateway Corporation and bringing untold riches to the adventurers who risked the unknown to see where those Heechee spacecraft would take them.

		So part of the novel is Stan and Estrella adjusting to life among the Heechee, helping with the treatment of a Heechee who hates humans, and, eventually having a baby.
		And finally, a right-wing minister who believes the Heechee are devils and uploading people into computers is a sin, becomes machine-stored himself.
		But remember, The Boy is not the culmination of the Heechee saga but a side story whose main pleasure is showing what life was like for normal residents of the galaxy, during the adventures of the earlier volumes in the series.

		In the second book in the Heechee series, Robin Broadhead has figured out how to use a new Heechee artifact, but is haunted by the death of his wife at the mouth of a mysterious fl hole that has appeared in the wake of the Heechee discoveries.
		In the third book of the Heechee series, with the discovery of an asteroid containing a fully operational Heechee spaceship, humankind is thrown to the brink of war with an apparently dead species.
		In the fourth volume in the Heechee series, the Assassins return after an eon of dormancy, intent on destroying humans and Heechee once and for all.

		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.

		He will finally receive word that contact may have been made by the Heechee, his political power maybe diminishing and his guilt seems to be overwhelming and destroying his body.

	The Annals of the Heechee (Heechee, book 4) by Frederik Pohl (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This fourth and possibly concluding volume in Pohl's popular Heechee Saga takes place 100 years after the first, Gateway, when the discovery of abandoned alien spaceships opened the galaxy to human exploration.
		Now allies, human and Heechee, are guarding against the Foe, a race of energy beings that has already wiped out several civilizations.
		Although Pohl relies rather heavily on cute aliens and wise-guy computer programs, his restless, loquacious narrator Robin whips the reader from planet to planet and from past to future, rapidly solving problems and just as rapidly shoveling up new ones in the best Pohl fashion.

		These books are greatly underestimated, under-read and by rights should have found their place in the pantheon of sci-fi true greats.
		The new ideas, the development of the Heechee technology and their story is at its best for the series during this book.
		The series then continues in Heechee Rendezvous and Annals of the Heechee, both also excellent books and the series as a whole would score 4 stars.

		Gateway has a complex of tunnels digged by the Heechee, an alien civilization that vanished half a million years ago.
		Had there been no sequels, this would undoubtedly stand as a masterpiece, but the three ensuing books, in which the mysterious HeeChee are discovered, and their disappearance explained, erode the mystery which is such a valuable part of this novel.
		The most intriguing character is the HeeChee race itself, and in this novel at least, Pohl carefully avoids the temptation to put flesh on their bones.
