The Boy Who Would Live Forever (2004) by Frederik Pohl. Strictly for hard-core science fiction fans, this is the latest in the Heechee series which Pohl began in 1977 with "Gateway." Although "Gateway" was a ground-breaking book, Pohl has wandered far off course with this book. For one thing, the title is never satisfyingly explained in the telling of the story. For another, too many characters are thrown into the mix and the narrative lacks focus. Grade: B-
