So in this continuing saga honoring the "Doc Smith" Lensman series, Earth has established a unified space patrol/command type operation called....Crap, I cant rememeber waht it was called, but it was like a Galactic Patrol thingie.Anyway they are crsnking out giant spaceshipe and giving them cool WWII types names like the "Yorktown", like mad.So in this installment they bump into a bug world with a massed supermind that will tolerate no other life form in the galaxy. So the conflict ensues as the bugs co-opt and steal the humans newly aquired alien technology. THier goal? Nothing less than the elimination of the invaders home world- earth. A recurring theme from the last book.Also, Cat the lead character gets killed and immediatly brought back to life courtesy of  her alien nanites. (Note to Beery, dude if you read this, this particular plot device is getting old quick.)The author is still comvined that everyone wants copious detail on how the technology he describes is supposted to work, but you can just click past all that now cant you? some of the Christian proseletizing gets to be a bit much, but the author does disclose his bias, so no harm, no foul. Sort of like lietening to Christian rock music with a good melody, just tap your foot in time and enjoy.Anyway, flaws and all, its still good fun. DL and enjoy as it currently free.
