Pulp Sci-Fi Classics! The Lensman Series!
from The Wordy Pair Podcast Hosted by Rudolph Kohn and Justin Fraser
This series was not what we thought. Justin and I first heard the name "Lensman" because there was an anime movie--and then Justin found one of E.E. "Doc" Smith's books at a used bookseller! So, while my initial mental image was one of colorful costume-wearing superheroes (thanks anime), the actual books are very different--more like a futuristic version of The Untouchables: action-packed stories of incorruptible officers of galactic law fighting pirates and drugrunners! However, there's also a bigger story behind that simple facade that has the users of the Lens building themselves up into the sole fighting force with the mental power to take on the Eddorians! Relax with us as we talk about our thoughts and impressions on this classic sci-fi series!
