scheu's review against another edition
3.0
Dropping two stars from my original rating. Much of the mystery of the first two books is sucked away, and for the first third we're treated to unfamiliar or, in the case of Wan, very irritating characters. I also have a hard time believing that Robin Broadhead's wife speaks such broken English after having been married for 25 years and winning a Nobel prize. It's not as though she's an unintelligent woman.
Thankfully, Pohl adds in the Heechee themselves, pointing old and new characters in their direction.

This was kind of terrible, really disappointing to end what started out so well this badly.

comparing to previous heechee books a bit boring... only last parts were interesting to read

Each of the Heechee novels so far has had its own narrative style.
That which was used in Heechee Rendezvous was the least effective, in my opinion.
Likewise, the story didn't have much of a payoff, seeming to be more focused on possibilities of a future sequel. Then again, the conclusions were not the strong points of the other novels either.
Enjoyable enough, doesn't quite live up to the previous two novels.

Dopo le cinque stelle attribuite al primo libro della saga, da me divorato, e il secondo libro letto con entusiasmo non pari al precedente, questo terzo capitolo della saga degli Heechee mi ha lasciata un po' perplessa. Il ritmo è deludente, l'ho abbandonato per diverse settimane senza aver voglia di finirlo, senza l'urgenza di sapere come andassero avanti le vicende di Robinette. Nel frattempo ho letto altri numerosi libri, sia di sci-fi che non, e questo è sempre rimasto lì a metà. Credo che per il momento non lo finirò, rimane una di quelle cose incompiute ma senza particolari rimpianti.
