The body of Frank Poole, killed by HAL nearly a thousand years earlier, is found drifting beyond the orbit of Neptune by the spacetug Goliath. Poole is revived, and lives for a period of time in the African space elevator, until he rejoins the crew of the Goliath in an attempt to contact Dave Bowman on Europa.
