This is the oldest book I have in my collection. Published 1965, the year before I was born and is a first print paperback. I’ve read it so many times over the years and it was one of the first sci-fi stories that got me interested in reading. I’ve kept it through so many moves and disasters and I have had to protect it as good as I can but like me it is showing its age.

Have you read "The Lensman Series?" It's one of my favorite works; Smith was the granddaddy of the "space opera" genre and for all its cheesiness, I go back to re-read it often (or listen to it).

Doc Smith was one of the favorite authors of many of my favorite authors. I should read more of his books… I’ve only read the Lensman series so far.
