The Heechee gateway (the artifact of a long-dead and vastly superior civilization) had been abandoned thousands of years before man found the artificial asteroid in the vicinity of Venus. Left behind are almost a thousand Heechee starships, programmed for faster-than-light travel to distant parts of the universe. But the traveler can never know his destination. A successful journey can mean immense wealth, but all too often the only reward is death."
