Edward Elmer "Doc" Smith : Triplanetary before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Triplanetary:

ManganoOkay, it's sometimes hokey by today's standards but this is a classic example of one of the best of its day. This is not the best book of the series, but it is good and it is the introduction to the series that has had an influence on space adventure to this day. The scope of the series is grand. It is also a touchstone to an era in when it was believed that engineering could solve everything. The characters may seem outdated, especially when it comes to women, but again it is a product of the era in which it was written. No less than Robert Heinlein has praised "Doc" Smith and his stories. Great fun. I'd love to see a proper movie made of each novel in the series.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nice Kindle edition of a Doc Smith Lensman classicBy G. FlemingUnlike other Kindle editions of Lensman novels I have reviewed, this is a nice Kindle edition of a Doc Smith Lensman classic. So this time I am able to review the book itself.You gotta love Doc Smith. E.E. Smith was 'Doc' to his fans because of his PhD in chemistry... he was a food scientist in real life, I believe. But I don't think he has ever been accused of allowing actual science to intrude into his fiction. And that is a good thing! He produced epic-scale space opera, with bigger-than-life heroes acting on inter- galactic stages, with no regard to any kind of scientific reality (though he is generally well-thought-out and internally consistent in his imaginings.)He was a product of his era. His heroes are generally manly men. Though he introduces some alien races with sterling qualities that may be in many respects superior to Earthmen, the fate of the Universe always rests with the humans. He has strong female characters, but they are the rare exception. He was aware with his difficulties as a writer dealing with female characters, and I believe even consulted with a female author to try to do a fair job of presenting them. To say that even with help he was able to produce realistic female characters would be, um, well...But nevertheless, his fiction is epic and awesome.This volume, Triplanetary, occurs chronologically at the very beginning of the Lensman saga, but was written at a later date. I would not recommending starting a reading of the Lensman saga with this volume. (the first penned, I think) would be a better entry point. Though this is a good story in its own right, the first half - early Earth history in a new light - might seem kind of tedious unless the reader is familiar with the context that is coming. But it is an entertaining and ultimately essential part of the epic saga.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Below AverageBy KenAccording to some of the other reviews of this book, the story presented here is not part of the "Lensman" series. I've never read E. E. Smith, so I'm no expert on his other writings; this book, however, is below par even for its time. The book I read was published in the late 1940s; I understand that some of the stories might have been published in magazines during the 1930s. I compare any book of this period to John W. Campbell's writing, which had little characterization and lots of action. This one had even more action, but none of it was compelling, with characterization that was almost non-existent, and nowhere near the attraction of any of Campbell's stories. At no time did I care about any of the characters, or feel that the main three characters of the latter part of the story were ever in any real danger. The writing was far more archaic than the time in which it was written, and in places juvenile. It read like the quick draft of an enthusiastic young man who plans to flesh it out and make a real story of it, but never did, and ended up publishing it long before it was ready. On the other hand, it was brimming with imagination. I know that E. E. Smith has many devoted fans who love his writing, but this book cannot be a shining example of it. I rate it at slightly more than 3 stars for imagination, and less than 1 star for the writing, coming up with 2 stars out of 5 overall.

.com 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. HUGO Finalist for Best Science Fiction All-Time Series --Science Fiction DigestAbout the AuthorEdward Elmer Smith (1890 - 1965) was an American food engineer (specializing in doughnut and pastry mixes) and an early science-fiction author, best known for the Lensman and series. He is sometimes called the father of space opera. --Wikipedia
