 Review
if you greatly enjoyed the lensmen series of books by e. e. smith in your youth, still enjoy re-reading them, and wish for more, these three novels° by david a. kyle are well worth investigating - but n.b. the standard of writing, as well as the style thereof, does not improve upon "doc" smith's own.

- elsewise, you'd prob'ly be best-advised to pass these honest hommages by; the revisiting of "creaky classics" by other hands rarely pays dividends to those who "were not there at the time".

° - not a trilogy: not linked by aught more than background setting of the lensmen universe; the title of a fourth alien lensmen novel, "the red lensman", was rumoured, but no such novel was published, and no ms. has ever come to light.
