Well, here's my chance to be the first [by my viewpoint; probably 10th
by yours.  Don't you love net relativity :-)] to answer your question.

Not only is there a sequel to "Gateway", there is not a sequel to that.
"Beyond the Blue Event Horizon" it the sequel to "Gateway".  I thought
that it was superb, perhaps even as good as "Gateway".  The third
book in the sequence was "Heechee Rendezvous".  "Beyond the Blue Event
Horizon" has been out for long enough that it should be available in
paperback by now.  "Heechee Rendezvous" came out relatively and may not
be in paperback yet.

Which civilization are you refering to?  I didn't find the human
civilization to be all that interesting.  The Heechee are tantalizing . . .
but you know nothing about them.

Once you meet the Heechee you may be much less impressed.
