It appeared that the civilized universe was on the verge of being annihilated. From the frigid depths of outer space, a peculiar intellect was orchestrating the destruction of all civilization. Kim Kinnison, a Galactic Patrol officer, was one of the few individuals who were aware of how close the end was. He was aware that in order to rescue the universe from complete devastation, he would have to use his children as bait for the evil powers of the hell planet Ploor in the final, desperate gambit.
Children of the Lens is the sixth self-contained novel in E. E. Doc Smith's epic Lensman series, one of the all-time classics of adventurous, galaxy-spanning science fiction.
The Lensman series is a science fiction saga that spans multiple universes and follows the adventures of a group of heroic space explorers known as the Lensmen. The series is known for its innovative storytelling, complex characters, and epic battles.
