Probably one of the worst books I've ever read. The first half was stapled on in 1948 as a sort of prequel to the Lensman novels. The back half was the original story from 1934. Most fascinating is the anti-fascism fears mixed with cold war era fears as a result of being written at different times.

All that said...ugh.

Seth Duly noted. I did want to read this a while ago because I heard it was one of the original space operas, but since I've heard of it there's been nothing bad reviews. Probably won't read it.
