Frank Poole's fate was rather extensively covered in 3001: The Final Odyssey.

Ah, interesting thanks.
I've never read the books except the Sentinel short story

Honestly, they're decreasingly good.
2001 is good, with notable departures from the film version of the story.
2010 is also pretty good. Also notably different from the film. Interestingly though it follows on from the film version of 2001 rather than the book version.
2061 is a bit crap.
3001 felt mostly like a cash-in. It had a couple of nice ideas, but they're done better elsewhere.
