When I was a kid I read E.E. Doc Smith's Lensman series and this book reminded me of it. Larger then life heroes of great physical and mental attributes surrounded by 'Red Shirts' who are either pure good or pure bad put over a faceless unimportant crowd of ordinary people. These super beings are so much better then ordinary folks that everyone should just beg them to rule. I was disturbed with this concept as a teen and just pity it now.Don't get me wrong this book is a fun read even with the depth of a 1950's western. The protagonists slide through adventures with barely a mussed hair but you can have fun cheering the good guys and booing the bad guys. I didn't mind reading it but will no buy further books in the series.
