Description

"First Lensman" by E. E. Smith is a space opera novel published in 1950. The story chronicles Virgil Samms, the first being chosen to wear the Lens—a telepathic badge of authority granted by the benevolent Arisians. As founding leader of the Galactic Patrol, Samms must recruit worthy Lensmen across alien worlds to defend Civilization against corrupt politicians, drug traffickers, and space pirates. All leads converge toward a single enemy, culminating in massive space battles and a desperate political campaign to secure humanity's future. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
