I liked the Gateway series by Fred Pohl quite a bit (am I right, he wrote those?), but not necessarily his other stuff. Pretty sure I still have those around the house in paperback.

I have read Phol but couldn't name the books. Gateway sound familiar though.

By the way thank you and Jen for letting me eaves drop on your conversations about SF and authors. I dug through the attic boxes and am enjoying books I read 30 years ago. I seem to have forgotten the endings to most of them so they are like new to me. Much cheaper that way.

Yes, he did.

Pohl wrote that series, yes. I didn't really care for that one. I prefer things he wrote with other people - he seems to need a moderating influence, imo.

Donner, I've read all the books in the Ender/Shadow series so far, and anticipate reading the next one shortly. I prefer the original, but the companions are good, too. Maybe it's just nostalgia that makes me think that Game is the best...
