First Lensman by E. E. “Doc” Smith | Classic Space Opera & Galactic Patrol Audiobook Part 2

Catholic Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½A classic space opera built around a striking moral conflict between Civilization and corruption, with Virgil Samms chosen because of his courage, virtue, competence, and incorruptibility. The story's emphasis on resisting evil, protecting the innocent, fighting corruption, and using power responsibly can resonate strongly with Christian ideas of moral duty, although the novel's cosmic mythology is firmly science-fiction rather than Christian theology.
