The fourth novel in E. E. "Doc" Smith’s epic Lensman series, Second Stage Lensmen takes the intergalactic battle between good and evil to new heights. As the conflict between the benevolent Arisians and the sinister Eddorians intensifies, the Galactic Patrol faces its greatest challenge yet—one that will require a new breed of heroes, the Second Stage Lensmen. Kimball Kinnison, now one of the most powerful warriors in the universe, has undergone intense Arisian training to reach the next level of mastery. As a Second Stage Lensman, his mental abilities are beyond anything humanity has ever known, granting him near-limitless power in his fight against the dreaded Boskone. But even with his enhanced abilities, Kinnison is up against a terrifying enemy—a vast criminal empire with spies, warlords, and unimaginable weapons of destruction. Teaming up with fellow Second Stage Lensmen, including the formidable Clarissa MacDougall, the first female Lensman, Kinnison embarks on a desperate mission to dismantle Boskone’s operations from within. His journey takes him to hidden enemy bases, treacherous political arenas, and the darkest reaches of space, where only his superior intellect, raw power, and unbreakable determination can keep him alive. Filled with pulse-pounding action, telepathic duels, and breathtaking space battles, Second Stage Lensmen is a thrilling continuation of the Lensman saga. A defining work of the space opera genre, this novel cements E. E. "Doc" Smith’s legacy as one of the pioneers of grand-scale science fiction adventure. |
