The Patrol battle cruisers swerved to meet them, and a miles-long cone of pure energy ravened out at the invaders, destroying whatever it touched. But the moment before the force beam struck, thousands of tiny objects dropped from the enemy fleet and, faster than light, flashed straight at their target-each one an atom bomb powerful enough to destroy Patrol Headquarters by itself! The Galactic Patrol-and civilization itself-had seconds to live. Unless a miracle happened.... ** |

| lensman books: 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. |
| lensman books: Galactic Patrol E. E. Smith, 2022-10-13 Galactic Patrol is a science fiction novel by American author E. E. Smith.

| lensman books: The Moon is Hell John W. Campbell, 2011-09-29 John W. Campbell was the man who made modern science fiction what it is today. As editor of Astounding Stories (later Analog), Campbell brought into the field such all-time greats as Asimov, Heinlein, Sturgeon and many others, while his own writing blazed new trails in science fiction reading pleasure. The Moon is Hell is this great writer-editor's vision of the first men on the moon - written 18 years before Neil Armstrong made history. This is the story of the American space programme - not as it happened, but as it might have been. |

| lensman books: 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. Those fascinated by the interplay between human drama and speculative technology will find this classic not merely a nostalgic trip through genre history, but also a vibrant tale that resonates with contemporary explorations into the unknown. Smith's work invites a timeless appreciation for the scope of human imagination and the enduring quest for knowledge that remains at the heart of all great science fiction. |

You'll be glad you did.I loved doing this large print edition using the Open Dyslexia 3 font.

Now it was up to Lensman Kimball Kinnison to use his fantastic mental powers to infiltrate the Boskonian strongholds, learn the location of the enemy's Grand Base-and smash it forever. Newly edited and fully annotated, this fresh edition of EE 'Doc' Smith's classic has been lovingly formatted and printed on groundwood (trade paperback) paper in an effort to get the feel of the original experience reading the old Panther (1970s and earlier) printings.

| lensman books: The Best of Greg Egan Greg Egan, 2021-03-18 Greg Egan is arguably Australia's greatest living science fiction writer. In a career spanning more than thirty years, he has produced a steady stream of novels and stories that address a wide range of scientific and philosophical concerns: artificial intelligence, higher mathematics, science vs religion, the nature of consciousness, and the impact of technology on the human personality. All these ideas and more find their way into this generous and illuminating collection, the clear product of a man who is both a master storyteller and a rigorous, exploratory thinker. The Best of Greg Egan contains twenty stories and novellas arranged in chronological order, and each of them is a brilliantly conceived, painstakingly developed gem, including the Hugo Award-winning novella Oceanic, a powerful account of a boy whose deeply held religious beliefs are undermined by what he comes to learn about the laws of the physical world. This book really does represent the best of Greg Egan, and it therefore takes its place among the best of contemporary SF. Startling, intelligent and always hugely entertaining, it provides an ideal introduction to one of the most accomplished and original writers working today. This is an important and provocative collection, and it deserves a place on the serious science fiction reader's permanent shelf. |
