Heechee Saga #2 “In book two of the Heechee Saga, Robinette Broadhead is on his way to making a fortune by bankrolling an expedition to the Food Factory--a Heechee spaceship that can graze the cometary cloud and transfor the basic elements of the universe into untold quantities of food.

After three and a years, the factory is discovered to work, and a human is found aboard. Robin's suffering may be just about over…” From Goodreads
