Beyond the Blue Event Horizon was written by Frederick Pohl and published in 1980. It's #2 of the "Heechee" saga....and it is the sequel to the Hugo and Nebula award winner Gateway...it's a good read, though nothing quotable....Pohl ups the science a lot here with a lot of talk re: the huge black hole Robinette Broadhead has left his lover marooned at....he really gets into explaining how the mass of the black hole affects time at the event horizon so that the main protagonist can live a lifetime as his lover lives only a few seconds....he plans to swoop in and save her, natch, as Pohl makes with the sexy talk and the talky sex as Robinette Broadhead kills time....Kewl (cool) ...."Heechee Rendezvous" is next....but, well....no rush....sorry Mr. Pohl!
