Synopsis

Inside an abandoned alien space station called Gateway, human prospectors board mysterious Heechee starships preprogrammed for unknown destinations — some return with unimaginable riches, others never return at all. Robinette Broadhead, a reluctant prospector haunted by guilt and trauma, recounts his experiences on Gateway to his AI therapist in sessions that gradually reveal a devastating secret.
