RIP Frederik Pohl - Page 2

Gateway meant an awful lot to me back when I originally read it. Which was probably about 25 years ago, now. I wonder if I'd get the same out of it now?

Weirdly, I have bought both Pohl's and Vance's autobiographies in the last year or so, which makes me feel like I have some superstitious power, but I suspect the fact that they were both well into their 90s might have had more to do with it.

Or maybe they were both on sale.

For those wanting to buy his books, Baen has the best selection. Amazon only has 6 of his lesser known works.
