The novel was adapted into a computer game in 1992.
Holden Caulfield goes spacing.
A solid sci-fi classic, but not my favorite. The plot was decent, and the characters developed well. However, I just didn't like the main character. I was going to read the full Heechee series, but I think I will move on the the next sci-fi book on my list.
