The shakes

Funny thing, the only books that interest me in my younger days were encyclopedias. :smiling6:

Cheers,

Yes, 7 in the original series, but there were at least a couple of 'extras' relating to at least 2 of the main characters, but not sure if they were written by Smith or not.

In order:

Triplanetary
First Lensman
Galactic Patrol
Grey Lensman
Second Stage Lensmen
Children of the Lens
Masters of the Vortex

Like Gerry, I seem to remember coming across other references to Lensmen, but whether that was other books or maybe TV/Radio/Film I don't know.

Chris - I've also got the rest of the 'stainless steel rat' series - all as good as the first!

To me, that one isn't really a 'Lensman' book, but it rounds off the series.

Don't know about any body else but I'm completely lost on these books.
Used to read wildlife, esp birds gardening and now Russian History and history of The Eastern Front WW2.
Your library amount Dave sounds brilliant.

Another Science Fiction and fantasy fan here, at the last count I had around 5,000 books acquired from my childhood onwards, Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, Haldeman, pohl, Niven, Pournelle, Aldiss, van Vogt, Greg Bear, Bob Shaw, Frank Herbert, Alan Dean Foster
some of them predate me like Cordwainer Smiths’ Books.
