4.0 out of 5 stars The Master of Space Opera, Jun 22 2003
By R. WINN "Life Is Short, but Wide!" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
E.E. "Doc" Smith wrote space opera better than anyone before or sense. Leave your sense of disbelief behind and hop aboard the "Skylark" series! Personally, I liked "Skylark" better than Smith's other top series ("Lensmen") because it was just plain more darned fun, less pretentious, more focussed on heroic heroes and dastardly villans, not so much on cosmic concepts etc. In both series, Smith tries to top his previous book with even greater heroics (blow up a planet? a star? a galaxy?) which can lead to a problem in the later volumes. In "Valeron" Smith tries adding the fourth dimension (which makes his one-dimension characters two-dimensional, almost) which ends up being a lot of fun.

Don't read this expecting anything as deep as, say, "Star Wars" <g> but do have fun!

(But I suggest reading the other books in the series first, starting with "The Skylark of Space"
