About this audiobook
Children of the Lens is the sixth and concluding volume of the six classic “Lensman” books, long recognized as the greatest space opera ever written. “Twenty years have passed since the events portrayed in Second Stage Lensman. To Kimball Kinnison and his wife Clarrissa have been born five children Kit, the eldest, and two sets of twin sisters. These are the 'Children of the Lens' the offspring of uncounted generations of selected matings. The most capable, the most brilliant minds in the universe. Their job is the conclusion of the Boskonian war, and how they accomplish this end and gain ultimate victory makes up the greater part of the book.” (From the 1954 Fantasy Press edition of Children of the Lens.)

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the third time I've read this series and it still gives me pleasure , it takes you on a fantastic voyage through untold parsecs of space and weird and wo derfull worlds full of strange creatures, considering when this work was written the author must have been an incredible man, if you like a rip roaring yarn full of space warfare on a scale that makes star wars look like a couple of kids fighting in a sand pit you will love this series.
Cheers and good reading.Mark Holman.
