The series is by Frederick Pohl. Starts with the novel Gateway. I forget which of the novels it is, definitely not the first one though.
The book you're referring to is 'Beyond the Blue Event Horizon', the second in that series. Pohl's "Gateway" series is one of the good ones IMO. But then again, I like Ben Bova and the 'grand tour' series, so what do I know?

I'd like an "all for a 100 bucks" kinda deal (an "all for free" would be even better, but I fear this would be labelled as "ATM" )...
Automatic Teller Machine?

I would recommend Heinlein (Robert) as well, and the other authors are also excellent.
