The Lensman Series is my most favorite series I have ever read... and became my foundation of Gallactic reality. The entire series provided a long count of time and demonstrated possible evolution.
Please Please don't be discouraged from the Lensman Series by this book - this book has dated very badly in terms of style and language useage, the rest of the series much Less so, and is still very readable. This book is a kind of prequel to the series and does not fit all that well, and is entirely superfluos to the series, ie you dont exactly miss anything without it.
Interesting who's got an international set of workers too. Seems like "the bad guy" has that compared to the "good guys" more typically white men and seems to fit a xenophobic perspective on the side of the whites while everyone else is suspicious.
@@smkolins I feel you, but we know this is sci-fi art imitating life at the time it was written. I am a huge fan of science fiction but I notice as a black man we don't survive in imagined futures of most writers. Makes you wonder where did all of the minorities go? The black guy almost always die in the sci-fi movie or the horror flick if they even consider including them.
@@erikc7267 I think that's changed in lots of recent development but still not found a overall balance I like. Definitely some good developments I think….
@@smkolins I'm falling behind as far as new authors. There is just so much good stuff out there. Well I guess it's time to hit the books so to speak. Lol. Thanks for your input.

Much appreciated, love the old fashioned style of writing. Great narrator too.
Mark Smith is a marvellous narrator! Smooth voice natural pace.
Great voice sounds like Ed Bishop
Fantastic! Thanks for posting!

Good ol’ mark smith

It is a little hard to take. Old-fashioned not up to current science the lingo is different of course it was written about 70 years ago...
Better than most of the crap today.
Gah! This starts out as a great adventure, but it turns into a yucky goopy romance at one hour and 10 minutes. I hope the story doesn't focus on that.

O Conway .. you are so manly .. Tshirt
I have such a hard time with old sci-fi wrist watches lighters o'boy smoking in a starship
It is interesting what is normal and not. I was thinking of the Skylark series which dates to near WWI while this one dates to near/after WWII

Not a big fan of Doc Smith. "Skullduggery afoot", "slugged the chief". Way too much Buzz Lightyear.
From decades before Buzz Lightyear.
Way before Buzz Lightyear!
