Heechee Rendezvous

By: Frederik Pohl

Narrated by: Oliver Wyman

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....

all fizzle, no bang

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.

Heeche smeechee

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.

Essential listening

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

Great production

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

Still good

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.
