Book Reviews of Children of the Lens (The Lensman Series, Book 6)
Book Review: classic early sf - space opera at it's best
Summary: 5 Stars
the conclusion of the hugely influential lensman series. the earlier books especially provided much inspiration for star wars (the death star) and the increasingly hyperbolic and colourful language used to describe the interplay of ever more powerful energy weapons and force screens find an echo in star trek.In children of the lens the focus shifts from Kimball Kinnisson to his children, Christopher ('Kit') and his four sisters.
The aeons long good vs evil struggle between Arisia and Eddore is coming to it's climax.
Kit and his sisters are the end product of a millennia long genetic program carried out by the Arisians to create the weapon that, along with the Galactic Patrol, can finally defeat the nasty Eddorians. But first that weapon must be honed.......
A must for any sci fi fan but read the earlier books in the series first
(Triplanetary, Galactic Patrol, 1st Lensman, Grey Lensman 2nd Stage Lensman. Masters of the Vortex is set in the same universe but is a separate story)
