Galactic Patrol (Lensman, #3)Galactic Patrol by E.E. "Doc" Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well now, look at the big brain on THAT one!

Truly, this is the biggest, baddest space opera trash out there. Total B-Movie stuff that inspired ALL the greats, be it Flash Gordon, Han Solo, Hal Jordon, and so many more! When men were real men and enormous brains with a few small appendages were real enormous brains with a few small appendages.

And yes, villains ARE perfectly willing to stop killing you in order to monologue.

Classic stuff. Popular enough to be imitated endlessly.

And it's so goofy it's fun. :)
