Reseñas de la Crítica
"If you wish to understand the roots of modern science fiction, you have to read the Lensman saga." (Allen Steele)
"A finalist for a special Hugo Award for All-Time Best Series, 'Lensman' is considered by many sf heads to be the greatest of the space operas and clearly a source for such successors as Star Trek and Star Wars." ( Library Journal)

Read it to your kids; the epic tale before Star Wars and other newcomers.

Slow burner

Now listening to this some 60 to 70 years after it was originally written I would call this retro science fiction. It starts off slow and a little bit disjointed. This may have been because it was originally serialized for a magazine.
Another aspect that creeps into the story is the prevailing political climate of the time.
The narrator was a bit stiff also.

What did you love best about Triplanetary?
Squeaky clean, upright, honorable heroes and really evil bad guys.Excellent space battles, puts you right in the action.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Triplanetary?
The brilliance of Conway Costigan, fighting skills, and the Service's trinkets!Have you listened to any of Reed McColm’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Reed is an excellent reader! No monotone here; you can hear the feelings of the characters.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Any moment when the hero acted or did just like any of us would love to have done.Fantastic Science Fiction story

It has bug eyes aliens, Ultra weapons, Ether shields and plenty of battles.
The story is a little unwieldy in spots, and takes a little preserverance, but is well worth it.
Old Time Sci Fi at It's Best

And I get that but a little light genocide to rescue your girlfriend is a low point in Science Fiction.
Fascinating but flawed.

There are numerous instances where you can hear the narrator almost get a line right, as if they just couldn’t stand another take and this was deemed close enough.
As for the story, well, it’s a sci-fi classic. Prone to all the foibles that one expects from golden age sci-fi. If you’re ok with that, it’s merely average. If you’re not, it reads like an admission that the author never met a woman, let alone had a relationship with one. That is normal for the genre and time but this one felt particularly egregious to me.
What I can say of the book is that it was interesting enough that it’s flaws didn’t make me vow to never touch another Smith book again. But I can’t say I liked it either. It’s not just the characters that are cardboard cutouts (that’s expected). The plots and tension feel pretty one dimensional as well.
It may simply be that I am coming to this book after reading many books based on it but it felt clunky and wooden and significantly difficult to care about anyone. If it hadn’t been an audiobook, I doubt I would have finished it.
Not the best recording or book

This is classic space opera, good versus evil, with the guys in the white hats destined to win. Smith wasn't very good at envisioning future technology, but he comes up with some fun ideas. The inertialess drive is an interesting solution to FSL travel and the negasphere is one of the best Sci_Fi weapons ever imagined. His aliens are fun too, especially the frigid planet dwellers. Considering that the series was started in the late 30s, it holds up amazingly well.
