Classic Smith

The books in this series get better and better. It's a shame Doc Smith didn't live longer and write more.

The ideas presented are wild and exciting to think about. Yet the writing style betrays the story, overly convoluting what ultimately boils down to an extended chase sequence with torrents of technobabble.

The last book of the year 2013. An overly sexist contradictory work yet full of grand science fiction battles of truly huge scope. A product of its time before its time.

Don't trust my rating for this book. See this
review for why.

One from one of the Fathers of science fiction. Love how he writes and how archaic the written word can sound in these pages. This volume completes my Lensman collection.
