But even he had no idea of the ultimate cost, and the weird destiny waiting for the First Lensman.First Lensman is the sequel to Triplanetary, and the second book of E.E.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Despite being a very old book this one caught my attention and had ideas I hadn’t read before that made me actually think. A bit comic book like but the plot and ideas good enough to rise above this and make me wish I had a second in the series.
