About this audiobook
Lensman Kimball Kinnison has attained the goal which every Lensman seeks, and so few attain, that of Unattached Lensman, a Lensman who is accountable to no one anywhere, completely independent, completely free. Further, he is learning how to fully use his lens. This knowledge is crucial, because as he works his way up through the ranks of the enemy the problems are growing more and more complex and dangerous. Coming face-to-face, and mind-to-mind, with the multi-tentacled scaley creature in his corpse-littered domain, Kimball Kinnison must use everything he has learned to defeat the beast or die trying.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The mind boggles at the speeds and distances involved in these books , it does make for a rip roaring story the scope of which only gets bigger as you go along, they are a must read for any sci fi fan.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Action-packed pulp that's classic sci-fi, but a bit short on character and development. Otherwise the plot moves well and Smith certainly has imagination. However, he's definitely old school so he likes his men to be men and his women to stand by supporting their men - so definitely *not* in the feminist category.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The fourth volume in the six-part Lensman series. It continues the development of the Galactic Patrol and the extension of their fight against Boskone into the second galaxy.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Embarrassingly badly written. He spends time telling us in detail things we don't care about and glosses over what would be interesting. He just can't seem to be bothered to do it properly. Poor show.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The story continues as the Lensmen continue to make progress against the 'pirates' while slowly coming closer to finding out who's really behind all of the problems in the Galaxy! See my other reviews for comments on this series, but these really are great examples of the space opera genre.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Painfully dated, painfully sexist and, even ignoring the former two complaints, painfully written.And yet, having originated many of the tropes of my favourite genre I cannot entirely condemn it.
