(Found) Great book

Hi
Years ago I read a book about humans finding some sort of alien station with preprogrammed ships to other destinations. Would love to read it again, its old possibly 50's onwards I think the author was famous
Thanks

Very famous novel. In SF Masterworks. Title eluding me momentarily.

(I must have missed this one)
Andre Norton wrote several novels about precursor aliens-- including one in which Our Hero and company are on board a pre-programmed ship heading who knows where... and return.

You missed Gareway? --- You should definitely rectify that. It's not a perfect book, but it is deservedly consider a classic and one that remains discussed among many S.F. people.

--- Are you looking for the title of the Andre Norton book? I don't know it, but if you are the question might be better placed in a thread of it's own.

I've read the book(s), but couldn't remember the title at the moment. I've found most of them on Kindle.

You missed Gareway?

And guess who didn't proofread? --- Gareway sounds like a story about a Gar filled river on the e-highway. --- It is of course GATEWAY!
