Synopsis

Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. Here is one of the most famous novels ever written about galactic war. Two worlds, Eddore and Arisia, waged a fierce battle against each other for control of the known universe. The decisive battlefield for this galactic clash was a tiny planet in a far-off solar system. The name of this planet: EARTH. There were only a handful of Earthmen who knew of this titanic interplanetary war. Little did they know of the pivotal roles they would play in this mighty conflict between two alien master-races. “Triplanetary” is the opening installment of the famous Lensman saga by Edward E. “Doc” Smith. It remains today one of the most influential science fiction epics ever written.

A propos du livre

Review

This is the first of E. E. "Doc" Smith's six Lensman books, and although it isn't as fast-paced as later Lensman novels, it sets the stage for what is perhaps the greatest space-opera saga ever told. Through a series of vignettes spanning millions of years, readers will learn how the titanic struggle between the good Arisians and the evil Eddorians first came to pass, and about how humanity was chosen (and bred) to assume the awesome power of the lens. A short foreword by science fiction scholar John Clute puts the entire series into perspective.
