Critic Reviews

"The most towering figure in science fiction, thanks to the enormous scope of his novels." (Isaac Asimov)
"If you wish to understand the roots of modern science fiction, you have to read the Lensman saga." (Allen Steele)
"A finalist for a special Hugo Award for All-Time Best Series, 'Lensman' is considered by many sf heads to be the greatest of the space operas and clearly a source for such successors as Star Trek and Star Wars." ( Library Journal)

Smith takes the story to new levels and brings some interesting tactical ideas to the story. However, there appears to be no limit to what he envisages his characters are able to do, removing a bit of the science from the science fiction.

Brings new ideas, but some a bit far fetched
