E. E. Smith ~6 hr read

The record of Kimball Kinnison, Gray Lensman of Tellus, in the Boskonian War, as he takes the fight to the enemy's hidden strongholds across the galaxy.

E. E. 'Doc' Smith's 1939 novel is a thunderous pillar of the Lensman saga, escalating the cosmic war with superscience, vast fleets, and Kinnison's relentless pursuit of Boskone. Bold, foundational, irresistible. Read it for grand space opera on the largest scale, as its hero drives ever deeper into the heart of galactic evil.
