Description

First Lensman, published in 1950, is part of E. E. Smith’s legendary Lensman series, a cornerstone of golden-age space opera. This installment acts as a prequel, chronicling the formation of the Galactic Patrol and the early days of interstellar law enforcement. With epic battles, advanced technologies, and larger-than-life characters, Smith presents a universe defined by moral clarity and heroic action. Though dated in some aspects, First Lensman remains influential for its expansive vision and fast-paced storytelling, inspiring generations of science fiction authors.
