doc ee smith:Skylark DuQuesne Edward Elmer Smith, 2022-08-16 In 'Skylark DuQuesne,' Edward Elmer Smith concludes his monumental Skylark series with a flourish of science fiction ingenuity and cosmic adventure. With this work, Smith not only explores the farthest reaches of space and the complexities of advanced technologies but also dives into themes of morality, rivalry, and redemption. The narrative delivers Smith's trademark fusion of high-concept scientific ideas with thrilling action set in an expansively imagined universe. Crafted with a literary style that marries pulp sensibilities with philosophical depth, the story provides a fine example for the space opera genre and sits within the context of Golden Age science fiction, foreshadowing many conventions that would later become mainstays of the field. Edward Elmer Smith, also known as E.E. 'Doc' Smith, is a foundational figure in the annals of science fiction literature, and 'Skylark DuQuesne' epitomizes his boundless imagination and technical foresight. His background in chemical engineering and his role in the development of the doughnut-making process might well have influenced his systematic approach to the intricate details of the Skylark universe. Rooted in the zeitgeist of early 20th-century scientific optimism, Smith's ambition might have been propelled by the dramatic innovations of his time, channeling a sense of wonder into the very fabric of his narratives. 'Skylark DuQuesne' comes highly recommended for readers seeking an immersive and seminal work within the science fiction canon.

doc ee smith:The Vortex Blaster E. E. "Doc" Smith, 2023-10-09 Neal Storm Cloud failed his Lensman exam, But life has a strange way of making heroes of even those who sometimes fail. Cloud's family is tragically killed when a misguided attempt to blow out a vortex lands one of the fragments right on his house. Devastated by the loss of his family, Cloud takes a leave of absence from the Radiation Lab where he works studying the vortices. As he drives he is struck with an idea for blowing out a vortex. It is slightly technical (Smith explains it so it can be easily followed), but the general idea is that Cloud's brain works so fast that he can calculate exactly where the center of the vortex will be at a moment in time and how big an explosive is needed, then hit it with a bomb that is set at the exact strength to actually extinguish the vortex instead of blowing it apart and making more vortices. As it continues the book tells of Cloud's new job as the universe's one and only vortex blaster. This job takes him from planet to planet where he blows out vortices, matches wits against drug dealers and gangsters, meets new life forms, and acquires a crew for his small scout ship. His adventures are many and varied, and the lifeforms he meets are strange and interesting.
doc ee smith:The Universes of E. E. Smith Ron Ellik, William Harrington Evans, 1966 This is the definitive concordance to the epic Lensman and Skylark novels with which the late Doc Smith enthralled science fiction readers for so many years. Edward E. Smith stood unchallenged as the inventor and foremost author of science fiction interstellar stories on the grand scale. He was known as the man who opened the Galaxy to science fiction. He wrote The Skylark of Space in 1920, but the vastness of its concepts was so far in advance of the rudimentary science fiction of the time that it was not sold until 1927, to the newly founded Amazing Stories. This comprehensive concordance has entries for characters, places, events, and many other topics in the Lensman and Skylark novels. The entries range from only a few words for such minor subjects as X-plosive to almost six pages for Kinnison, Kimball. Both scholarly and sprightly, it is intended for those with nostalgic affection for the space opera days of science fiction's early youth when intergalactic adventure was brand new. The book includes a bibliography by Al Lewis and black-and-white illustrations by Bjo.
